Tumblr please go.
There was a whole thread that got attention during 1.0 that asked for "sexier" clothes for the player characters. Furthermore, it's hard to take anyone who intentionally glamours their character into the smallest metal bikini possible serious as an advocate for anti-objectification in females in gaming.
If you want to have this discussion, be prepared to have this discussion.
Pre-emptive edit:
I know you've cited that putting your character in teensy tiny little clothes is your choice, but have you considered that perhaps making female characters/avatars sexy is a choice the developers took? If you're not talking specifically about Garuda I'm not sure what you're bringing up. Do you want overtly-female Amal'jaa or something? Lizards tend to look like lizards regardless of gender.
Are you upset the Ixal don't have overtly-female Ixal? Well, they do, as differentiated by their names, according to officially posted lore. Or did you want special flags calling them out graphically? Hell, we can tell what gender a goblin is via their name.
It sounds like you're complaining about sexualization, which is fine! If you think slapping a pair of 44DD tits on something is lazy design, then more power to you.
I take umbrage with you attacking a developer's integrity by claiming that's lazy, though. You don't know their reasoning behind the design, and by making it out like you know better, you're effectively calling for the censorship of a style you personally disapprove of because reasons.
That's not cool, and we're gonna have problems in especially called out text or whatever the eff THAT means. Mind indulging my curiosity?
