Boring.
When women can flirt and send a clear message that they are flirting, then the male devs can implement them in the game.

Seriously, no man on Earth can tell when a woman is flirting. So how the Hoth can the Devs know?

I thought women were supposed to be the more mature gender. But apparently, they are obsessed with naked stuff as men are.

It's so funny when someone takes a valid argument and reduces it to some absurd point. No, it's not about the speedos, it's about the equality. It's about extending the range of options so that someone who is not you gets the same opportunities you do.

It's called sarcasm, G-Girl.

Learn the language. It makes life much more fulfilling.

Really? And were all the other comments on this thread that said much the same thing, only more longwindedly, also sacrasm? Is this whole thread an exercise in performance art?

Pretty much.

I don't think anyone here really is against mankini's and lady flirts.

And if they do, then that's their hang up. They can go Force themselves.

That's kind of my point. If they'd keep their hangups to themselves we wouldn't have so many threads like these.

Not really. People usually post repeat threads because they are too lazy to search. It's a common mistake among forumites in this day and age.

Hear that WHOOOSH? That's the point flying so far over your head that it reached escape velocity. Or is this more sarcasm? Irony? cynicism, derision, banter, disparagement, lampooning, mockery, mordancy, raillery, rancor, ridicule, satire, scoffing, scorn, sharpness, sneering, superciliousness, or wisecrackery?

I'm just going to assume that everything you say is a really poor attempt at humour. It saves time.

Is Swtor sexist and does it have a negative effect on immersion? And please keep in mind adding some equality doesnt mean removing stuff
You and I seem to have had diametrically opposite experiences with the IA - my male agent is flirting, but having just reached Hoth I would say he is a long way behind the female agent - both in terms of basic [Flirt] dialog options and also the one-night-stand options.

Also, SWTOR is less sexist (and also less xenophobic) than the general SW lore, so I suspect that what you are actually complaining about is the sexism of the Star Wars universe.

Last sentence is cruel irony because it is actually true.
