On a more serious note when I like a post it's one of the following reasons.
1. The content was funny
2. The achivement was great
3. Show users that I have read the thread/post to acknowledge the topic without replying to the thread. I don't always have the time or feel like posting. Depends on how long my day was, sometimes I just have to catch up really fast and note primary things before moving on. If you need me you can always PM me and I will get back to you when I can!
4. I agree with this post
Point: When users like a post it can mean many things.
I have been following this thread for a while now.
We haven't been "forced" to only use hetronormative customization for years. There have been many cash shop specials that didn't lock stereotypically "male" or "female" items like Akradian mentioned earlier in this thread. For instance when they had a sale on Pink Top it was sold for both genders.
For the sake of consistency and customization I agree that items that are locked to males or female should be removed. When it comes to creating characters at the beginning of the game I obviously don't want us to start gender neutral. If you want to be a genderfluid butterfly in MapleStory you already can! Though with limited items. And if this suggestion is implemented you will have more options. For those that have played Saints Row the III, I think their approach to customization is hillarious and great.
