Emotes are male-behavior dominated
I just received the "Chair Pop" emote and immediately felt disappointed. Like so many of the emotes, it just shouts "bro" to me. As a female gamer in D2, I've found that most emotes have no interest to me because they are so male-behavior dominated, from the dances to how they sit, across the board that seems to be the case. At best, I look for "neutral" emotes, and there aren't as many as I'd like.
There are some aspects of D2 that I think did a great job at making it a more welcoming game for female players, such as not having over-sexualized female characters and including women in the key roles such as Ikora. Bringing that same focus to the emotes would make the game a more rewarding experience for part of your player base.

It’s sad to see you thinking this way

Most are neutral, and your view on this is biased and completely subjective.

I consider many aspects of the game to be discriminatory against women. They think that having a few powerful women mixed in as characters can cover up an obvious culture of sexism.

2 RepliesEdited by Artisan: 7/18/2021 6:17:35 PMThere's a HUGE variety and amount of emotes from those considered masculine to feminine. Far from every one will be to your taste. Take dances of which there are a RIDICULOUS amount. To me, each and every one makes you look a camp, effeminate fool. There are so many I'd rather have the option to delete them. But others love them. Equally there's a great many completely neutral ones from Breathing, Yoga, pouring tea, meditation, calling a hawk(Traveller), popular memes, lifting weights (and girls do too), Mote juggling, flare signalling ...it's near endless. Then there's typically feminine emotes, smelling, giving flowers, cheerleading, all the aforementioned dances, etc. At least one of the key motion capture creators is a women. A great many of them are anything but 'tough' even when they try to be - more balletic than combative. Which emotes do you want? Maybe petition for that rather than less of those masculine emotes many players also like.

Attention seeking nonsense and quite inaccurate. One example of a bro-mote when there are a multitude of female and gender-neutral emotes does not indicate a culture of bias at Bungie. None of my characters are male and I’ve never felt under-represented in choice or selection of anything with respect to either my or their gender. If you have to look so hard for bias then maybe it isn’t really there… Now if I could only log in without a menagerie of animal error codes, or fix the rng depression, lag and cheating in PvP, level-grind boredom, story progression, when I (hopefully) do get back in we’re good to go and any concern about emote gender-bias will quickly fade away…

Just emotes…. Ain’t that deep
-
So what exactly constitutes a more feminine or less bro emote. Also why not edit your post with some examples, that you believe is more feminine.
-
That’s just since a lot of the emotes are references to movies and shows, especially the exotic ones
-
I like it when anime girls sit like that tho
-
This is 2021 Summed up in a single post 😂 #cancel #emotes I’ll just keep popping my sit and my masculine hair flip emote

1 ReplyIf the male programmers actually catered to us females we would probably just get an emote of a female guardian pointing at her face saying my eyes are up here.

Edited by pumpkinspice1994: 7/18/2021 1:25:55 AMNot to be rude at all you seem very kind but there is nothing wrong with the emotes yes they are sometimes “predominantly male” but that doesn’t change the fact that they have no impact on the actual game other then something to use to dance If it was something that actually had an impact on the game and players then i would yes lets fix that but in this senecio no there is nothing wrong with emotes

Sorry destiny does not have male or female characters just masculine or feminine

1 ReplyHello, speaking as a man allow me to tell you why you shouldnt feel this way. But in all seriousness, what would you classify as an, er... Feminine (right terminology?) Emote?
-
What a trad way to view things lmao. I remember people pretending the same shit with the dances too. Literally every emote is pretty gender neutral, haha.

2 Repliesbro have u seen how woke bungo is? trust me they check everything before shipping a product to make sure it won’t offend anybody, yet here we are

So men are required to sit and act one way, and women another? How very 1950s of you.

3 RepliesEdited by Twin Inferno: 7/17/2021 7:43:21 PMThere are plenty of feminine/neutral emotes, your making complaints/problems when there doesn’t need to be. I’m positive there are bigger issues you should be concerning yourself then having an emote that looks masculine but it’s actually a neutral emote you just can’t tell. I have a lot of feminine emotes, but I don’t care about weather they make my guardian look feminine or not, if it’s cool it’s cool, you are the one who makes it different. I mean what’s so masculine other then the Zavala looking at a board emote?
