Chilko, Ladylulana did not talk about Argentina at all nor did she meant it. If you'll know her a bit better you would have knew that.
In no way she wanted to degrade you, nor your country or culture.
As a matter of fact your post made her leaving the game and deleting her characters (I guess so). Seems like you missunderstood each other. When you are a gentlemen you'll say sorry for your speedy and not well thought response.

I don't see anything bad about a woman being feminine... do you?
Is that being sexyst? or machist?
Feminine walking and walking like you want to attract all men on world is a difference.
No normal women walks like that by nature. They do so to look sexy sometimes, but they can choose when to do so. Ingame characters cannot. Either they are walking in a sexy way or they are running.

You also have received a lot of requests from women asking for their female characters a more natural walk. It looks too sexy for them and they worry about men that could be attract by it.
So what about the feature to let the user choose which animation (s)he wants to have?

you mean they can walk like that. I doubt anyone walks like that by nature.

You don't have to proof anyone about the role of women in your county. And maybe she walks like that....but she is a person that have to do so because she lives in public and walking like that brings attention and symphatie from men. She wants this symphatie because she wants their votes. Not all ingame female characters want the symphatie and attenion from male players. It sucks when you are stalkered by other players just because you choosed to play a female character.
Also I doubt your president walks like that when she is allone at home.

Yes, it is an improvement. But an improvement over the top. You improved it too much...that much that you hurt female players with it.

Nice that you listen now. The very first thread about this was deleted by NGD. That's why the title is "sexist reloaded".
