While Darcy was watching a live blog of the E3 press conference by Sony, she noticed that during a demo of a kart racing game where the player can customize their character, they threw in some shame for the crossdressers.
12:44PM “Right now, the two developers are showing off the avatar selection screen. The animation is absolutely adorable. One character has its costume changed to a dress, and it tries to hide, embarrassed.”
As if CDs don’t get it from all sides already.
It’s hard to tell without seeing the animation, was it shame, shyness, or just surprise? It could be encouraging overall that you can crossdress the character, unlike with X-box live where you must be female to wear female clothes. I’d say that’s an improvement.
What makes you think the character was a crossdresser? Presuming they weren’t I’m not surprised they were embarrassed, just like I find it humiliating to have to wear boy’s clothes because it’s at odds with my inner gender.
… oh, and 100% agreed with Jade about the improvement over avatars and women’s clothing. The Xbox Live avatar isn’t the only one, either, Sony’s Home on the Playstation 3 is the same way.
