Just wandering through, and wondering what graphics setting people are using to actually see traces of nipple on their characters, cause I don't. Granted, I play mine on a lower setting to help with lag (I'm on a mobile connection).
Also, Garuda has breasts. Does that make Garuda a mammal?Â
Generally speaking as a species, humans are wired with a breasts = female response. We don't have natural plumage/colour/pattern variants that separate the sexes, and our sense of smell is lacking for us to (regularly) home on on pheromones. We therefore rely (subconsciously) on what we see for a physical build as first indicator to another human's sex. Go do an internet search for anthropomorphic art, you're bound to find dragons, cars, snakes, lizards, and turtles that have breasts of some degree to emphasize that they're female.
We're given (mostly) human-like avatars with the dev's expectations that vast majority of us are going to customize into something we personally find attractive. This includes fairly normal breasts (the dev's could've gone and given Miqo'te a double-row of them going down their torsos like a feline, because why not? They've already given feline ears and tails to a humanoid) because of wired responses. Are we mammals in-game? More than likely, but it's something that we are taking for granted because SE has given us no reason to think otherwise.Â
As for the bellybutton issue...
