Knuckle Joe.7408 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 do you want to trigger people, because this is how you trigger people... on a side note, females ride sidesaddle when using the broom toy... I don't see anyone complaining. People jsut love to get triggered. I'm in favor of side saddle, as my patriarchy-glorifying scantly clad female ele gets too many clipping issues with her skirt. god look at that, this is 2017... what sexist kitten is this... http://i68.tinypic.com/9760pt.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess you don't have any issues if all characters ride side saddle on all mount items as well. You know, since some things clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Schrodingers Cat.2497 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Oh hell no. Take it from a Texan that there is a reason WHY you don't ride side saddle. IF you've never ridden a horse before, I can tell you that you're going to be bouncing all over the place once it gives moving past a simple trot. Hell it's still an impressive feat to ride a horse bareback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintpixie.7398 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 No. That's ridiculous. Females shouldn't have to ride any differently than males. Personally, I would be immediately turned off to the mounts if they forced me to ride around like that. In reality, if the females did ride their mounts that way, they would constantly be falling off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneYenShort.3189 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 No. I mean if you do so, you might as well stick Asura into a barrel as there is no way their legs have the length necessary to grip properly in saddle. Also... Char and side saddle. Female char afterall, if you are going to play the sexist card, you might as well play it right and say only for female humans. You want to tell a female norn to act like a prissy "lady"? I'll sell tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunnyCide.5426 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 As a real life equestrian, no. I know there are those who still do side saddle but given my experiences, riding with a leg on each side of the mount is a lot nicer for both rider and mount. Why? Because it helps distribute your weight better and when that happens the mount is able to keep his/her balance better. If this were introduced as an option and not a real change that would be fine for those who want it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 No thanks. My suspension of disbelief only goes so far. Riding **any** of these mounts side-saddle is asking to fall off every 2 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaeron.1524 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Well, I suggested this, more as an option, rather than something to be forced upon us players.

Hold up. You want realism via riding saddle( for non westerners "saddle" is when women had to ride sitting perpendicular to the saddle and hang both legs off the side of the horse so as to not spread their legs) But then you complain about clipping? Real realism would be to wear trousers to ride efficiently amd safely. Your punishment for sewing a dress is clipping. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be appropriate for any gender to ride a broom side saddle. Straddling a broom with full weight on it in the air would quickly become painful and be fairly unstable. (Beyond that, people don't complain because the broom is a gem store item that is not necessary to access game content). I don't know how much horseback riding you've done, but there's a good reason for straddling a broad-backed riding animal, particularly if the animal is going at a full gallop or has an unusual gait. I was on my first horse at age 3 months. I was solo riding not too long after I was walking. Side saddle riding is horrible. And yes, it absolutely is sexist because the only reason for it was from gender-based social conventions for modesty, which clearly aren't present in Guild Wars 2. Without such gender-based conventions for modesty, nobody would ever choose to ride side saddle. If the sole issue is clipping, then a side saddle animation would not needed for characters, male or female, who wear pants. In other words, if optional by character and for both male and female characters in order to avoid clipping issues, then that's one thing. If it's for some sort of mandatory throwback to unsafe riding practices based on archaic social perceptions of gender that uses clipping as an excuse, regardless of what the character is wearing, then of course people are going to be opposed. I suppose it's your choice to try and make it into some sort "sjw drama," however it doesn't really get to the reason why a lot of people would not want to see it introduced into GW2. lmao.
