OK, this is driving me crazy. What the fuck game/software is this kid referring to when they say "SE?"
Expand your acronyms, people. :p

@zebratron2084 Folks have already mentioned, but yes this is about Square-Enix and specifically Final Fantasy XIV.
There was similar hubub when they unlocked the bunny girl outfits to no longer be gender-locked. It's amazing just how fast the fanartists got to drawing cute boys dressed up in them.

@Balina What a time to be alive.</jasperbeardley>

@zebratron2084 On one hand, it's kind of odd to get quite so much out of something that seems so trivial, but on the other it does mean that this unlocks another real sharp tuxedo option for my giant lady to wear.

@Balina I dunno. I don't know our comparative ages, but this feels like... a thing, when I compare it to the world I grew up in. Kinda like knowing that that two of the most fascism-resistant cultures in 2020 have been "horror rap clowns" and "people who dress up like foxes." There's something... gratifyingly weird and norm-defying about it all. It's a sign that even if our eldest generation is pretty fucked up right now, the Kids Are Alright. ^___^
@zebratron2084 I mean, true! For one set of reasons or another FFXIV specifically has been very slowly adding more things like this as it goes, and especially from a Japanese company to just do this without it being a punchline is refreshing.
