Makes me wonder what their stance on homosexuality is.
On one hand, the Sun seems to foster strong, yet few, virile men where as the weaker and unsuccessful are cast out and left to either follow or waste away. By proxy, this means there are probably many single, emotionally-bare males that, by cultural pressures or revelations on their own accord, absolved to being with other men for emotional or physical satiation.Â
For Tia, this is obviously a good thing, as well for the Nunh since it probably means less competition. However, on the other hand, what are the females views on this? Do they see it as a constructive shift and one that defers to less physical conflict and inner-rivalry, or is it, to them, as a cop-out for the weak or those unwilling to tap into their full potential? From what I've read on this site, procreation seems to be a big deal to their culture.
This is for me, Â my thoughts on it where I try to keep any objective definition of sexuality out of mind, as the entire construct for sexual orientation seems to be a pretty minor thing in XIV. There's little evidence that attraction to any one sex, gender, or identity is met with rancor or ill judgement. The miquote just seem to value qualitative breeding over anything that can hinder the passing down of the gene pool, which is where I'm coming from with this.
