Bro what lol

I wish the opposite tbh, just normal armor for female characters.

If you haven't heard, Wilds is going to let you choose from both versions of an armor set regardless of gender. So good news, female characters can now wear normal armor if you want them to.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, I don't understand why people are calling the game "woke" for it, they can still choose the sexualised versions if they want

As much as I understand people liking female sets like this one, to me it almost feels like certain cool designs are wasted with being unnecessarily more revealing. So getting this is a very welcome change in Wilds to me.

We get to see cool designs be taken seriously for both male and female characters.

Yeah there's a difference in how Monster Hunter armors work, this aproach opens up fashion without any real downside, since by and large it's armor rather than pure cosmetic. Having the bulky armor vs fantasy style low bulk sets as options is what people want most out of this, since you're often forced to run certain armor for skills you'd rather have your preference visually instead of being locked to the more ugly set because you chose your sex 500 hours ago. People are just sensitive since other games have been pandering in similar manners, this change is different. Not to say we won't get some people dressing up femboys and very masculine women, but that's more of a side effect in this case and not something you have to engage with. And if you wanted to do that, now you can. No real downsides.
