Why is there no female bodytype option ingame?

[Shiruko]

I wasn't gonna buy this game, cause I saw a video with only brawny and the other, but my friend bought it for me and the game is fun, yeah. But it could be way more fun to play as who I want to play, not a dude with a woman's voice. I mean hell there's even a tip ingame if you want to change who you wanna be just go to the menu and change it. But to what exactly? There are only two options, which of one only slightly resembles a female, but that's if you're wearing light armor. Why even give the option if there's no option other than to play as a male, cause by their naming definition both are male. I hope they add a female body option to the game, cause it would make it even more fun than it already is and there is definitely room for more than two bodytype options in that menu.

Theres no gender anymore,, just voice pitch and body size. WoW is doing this crap too lol

dont want to offend the the .5% of trans that are obsessed with 'gender fluid' and that saying female is sexist when they also get upset if you dont think trans women are women.

You should probably save your "muh genders" outrage for a game where you can actually tell body type 1 vs 2 is actually a man or woman. It makes perfect sense to not gender the body types here, because the slim body type here could be a small man or a woman.

Lean body type is female. You can see this pretty easily with certain armours like the Trailblazer Scout and the EX-00.

I play with the brawny body type and a female voice so my Helldiver is basically a tomboy.

On Super Earth there are no longer any genders or sexes. We have all become one great amorphous blob of flesh clones. We are all equal. You should be happy!

Could easily be a smaller man. It's not like everyone on earth has the same body type. I've seen women with broader shoulders than many men. I've seen smaller guys with wider hips than shoulders. Obviously it's more common to see the opposite, but there's nothing definitively feminine or masculine on either.

Go play a game with anime characters if you need your crusty sock time.

I was going to say i helped/invaded alot in the demon/dark souls series alot and unless the women used cloth/skimpy armor, i never knew or cared. Only when they got hit and made a "Ahhh" groan from being it did i know if they were playing male or female, didn't change anything about what my job was before or after that moment.

It could be, but could is a very indecisive word, why not change it to "is" Why not make things as fun as they were back in the day in gaming. Mario IS a guy, Makarov IS a guy, Samus IS a girl, Cortana IS a girl. Being indecisive as a Helldiver might make you a practice target for the bots, or might make bugs mistake you for a streetlight.

You can make that argument with some of the bulkier armours but I encourage you to try switching the body types back and forth with the EX-00 or Scout armour on. It's pretty blatant if you look at it from the side view.

Lean is exactly that...

Only difference I'm noticing on the scout armor is the lean has narrower shoulders and wider hips vs bulky having wider shoulders/narrower hips. I don't see anything blatant about it like the chest getting larger.

The chest becomes more narrow but subtly moves outwards and upwards. The shoulders drop as well, so the armour shouldn't do that unless it's making room for something. You can see the same subtle shift in the EX-00 armour, alongside some pretty thick cake. That being said, this is only really obvious with certain armour types; the majority of armours remain ambiguous like you pointed out.
