I'm sure that they had the best intent.įirst off, this is what a female body hair pattern looks like: People can have the best intent and it still ends up sexist. I'm not saying that they made it like this with any ill intent. It feels like they forgot about half of the population. The thing is that when we look at the body hair in the game it feels like they made body hair with only men in mind, and then enabled the body hair for female sims as an afterthought. But when we got it, it actually made me quite sad. I was very happy that we were going to get body hair in The Sims 4. I'm not angry, I'm just trying to describe a problem and being constructive about it.
It's easy to think a text is filled with feelings that it's actually not filled with. Not all women, not all men.Īlso, please don't read this post as angry. Really, please remember that I talk about averages. But, just 'female' and just 'male' will always refer to averages in humans. When I say 'female sim' or 'male sim', on the other hand, I'm specifically referring to the genders (female and male rig) in the game, I'm not referring to averages or real people in any way in those cases. I'm not talking about all women or all men unless I specifically state so in a specific case. Note: When I write 'female' or 'male' in this post I'm solely talking about averages.
