Keep the option of GENDER (or change to sex), NOT body type

[Jjustice]

The screenshots say "Body Type 1 / 2", the Demo says "Gender Male / Female".
Honestly keep it gender or change it to sex if you want to be correct.
Sexuality options of male/female/non-binary is absolutely fine, no need to use "body type" for sex.
Nobody is complaining about the demo having gender so please, keep it gender or change it to sex, just not body type

OLD
On screenshot 31 it says type 1 / 2 on body.
On screenshot 32 it says "Gender female".

Seeing we live in a time where people are sensitive about both options, can't you just make it English 1 and English 2 in the language option, and let those that prefer the terms male and female to use English 2, and those that prefer body type instead of gender and/or sex, the choice of English 1?

I know it's a small thing, but Westerners find that important or something. This way everyone is happy

Edit: Krafton decided purely Body type 1 and 2 for the English language :/ This is a stupid mistake. Should've kept both options

Edit edit: Demo seems to embrace Gender male/female, but the screenshots still have body type. Honestly the way it is in the demo with the Gender options being male/female and then your sex identity male/female/nonbinary should honestly be enough. no need to remove gender and turning it into "body type"

I won't speak on the gender thing, but for the body types I suspect that it could have more options in the future. I believe the game will release in early access, so they could add more at any time.

I honestly understand that when it comes to body types for games it often has multiple (skinny male, strong male, obese male, skinny female, strong female, obese female Etc), but in this case it is used as a way to signify the sex of a character (type 1 / 2), more games have been doing that as well, and for me it's just confusing.

When I think of body type, I think the same thing you do, and that's simply different body shapes, not the sex of the character.

Согласен, но в английском языке должна быть возможность выбора пола или типа фигуры.

I have taken a good look at those screenshots and I think those with "body 1 / 2" were taken earlier.

You can tell by looking below at "Desired Life - In Development". For screenshots with "gender" you can see "Creative life" there.

So it seems they went with genders instead of body types after all, and if they simply changed the phrasing then it stands to reason we'll only have males and females, while genderfluid combat helicopters will hopefully not make the cut.

If they go with Male/Female they should change it from "gender" to "sex" because then they'll avoid a lot of backlash from people claiming to be a different gender, as they say that gender and sex are not the same.

I know this sounds petty but it would probably make more sense for English 1 to be Male and Female rather than the other way around.

Ahah, people are offended at me for throwing a report. Study biology to have an understanding of gender. Don't be offended by the truth, otherwise you walk like little children.

Either way, I think it would simply be best for them to have both options because you've seen it as well, people will get upset if there's only 1 option, so taking both options, that way they can also avoid being called out for "picking a political side" or stuff.

Gender is a social science. Sex is biology - so you clearly didn't pay attention...

As this comment section already shows, it is a hot topic, the only real way to win in this scenario for Krafton is just to simply give people the choice that the wording is either "Sex" or "Body Type" because if you pick (especially) "body type", it's going to generate a lot of heated discussions that will lead to nothing productive and will divide people.

Ugh and there we have it. Krafton decided on going exclusively with body type, and yet again another game forcing a choice upon people that didn't ask for this. Should've kept both options

Be careful speaking the truth man, the Steam devs will go ape S^&* if anyone reports your comment. They are Reddit mods part time, so there is a lot of crossover with how they act.

That said, shouldn't it be technically Sex instead of Gender. As Gender is a term that only got popularized post 2010.

it really should be sex, before 2014/2015 gender was used as a substitute word.
The body type nonsense is honestly pretty offensive from a Non-Anglo viewpoint, as they reduce males and females to a number. That's why I favor both options, 1 for the Americans that hate biology and 1 for everyone else who doesn't think men or women should be reduced to a number

Source? The trailer for character creation demo once again shows a screen of "body type" followed by "gender: female" on the one following that.

Either we have a super lazy intern of the marketing department reusing the same promotional materials to quickly put together a video... or there's no mistake and it's their strategy to offer both options to appeal to a woke as well as based audience.
