Adding Furfits To The Pirate Emporium

Troll post that’ll probably cause a stir up. Might want to lock this one.

I actually chuckled when I saw this thread, well done xD

Wouldn't expect anything for free, things cost wages and corporations exist to make money.

I would back that it's a pretty large community which would pay $10 for the cosmetics though, so is worth them shortlisting for shop content.

This has got to be one of the weirdest requests I’ve seen for this game. Not necessarily because of the subject matter but because someone would even ask for this to be added into a Pirate game.

If this was cod I wouldn’t be surprised because of the type of cosmetics they have in those bundles. Sea of Thieves though, I can’t imagine it happening.

I’m not saying in any way that people shouldn’t be able to be themselves, but just because you’re apart of a group doesn’t mean you need to be represented in every game you play. It anything I think it would actually bring more harassment your way. If people sink others just because of a rainbow flag I don’t want to think what drama will come out of furry costumes.

I think I'd rather see another PvE request thread than this. I'm truly shocked...

You are totally right to claim that being a furry is a normal behavior and people for sure do not have the rights to tell you otherwise. Fighting to be threated as a "normal" human being instead of getting ridiculed for being the way you are while you're not hurting anyone is for sure something I encourage, but Sea of Thieves is not and shouldn't be your battlefield. This has nothing to do with Sea of Thieves or its lore, even PE Cosmetics should try to stick to the World's lore and or aesthetic (Spartan ship cosmetic for example are a tribute to Halo, but they adapted the art style to feel more like Sea of Thieves instead of adding futuristic and high-tech stuff which is at the core of a game set in a distant future).

The pirate code already express quite clearly that the Sea of Thieves is for EVERYONE, there's no need to go deep into every single "political battle" that is being fought irl. Games can't and should help fighting every single battle IN GAME, specially if not related to their game's identity (and a Pirate themed game has nothing to di with furries imo, as it has nothing to do with drag queens or whatever "way of being" is highly recognizable throught the way you express yourself with your look/dressing). They can support a cause on twitter if they must.

Exactly this. Besides not being a fan of the style and finding it has nothing to do with the theme of the game, it simply bothers me to see groups making demands with entitlement, claiming inclusivity as a pretext to add anything and everything just because, then crying racism and bigotry if people disagree with their views.

It would be the same if any religious group would pop up one day, demand for a free ship set and cosmetics, all patting each other in the back and agreeing it must happen, then screaming bigotry and racism from the moment that a few people point out it has nothing to do with the game and seems out of place (in game, people can do whatever in their personal lives).

Politic, religion and identity politics should be left ashore and people should enjoy the game provided to them. But whatever, people can mass flag this post too because I don't agree with them I suppose.

I'm not surprised 3 mods tagged in here already. I can literally feel the increasing pressure on them right now. Such an uncomfortable spot to be in. Can't lock the thread because they'd be discriminating the minority, but can't really prevent the backlash of people who feel provoked either. An actual checkmate. Smart move to keep it under sharp supervision though, this really is a sensitive topic, with great risk for big scandal and thus, consequences.

Lifestyles threads are always controversial and most people want to evade reality when playing games, not walk on eggs not to offend anyone.

@BloodyBil as well as others around here said it very well though. Be who/whatever you want to be, nobody will mind. Just don't feel obliged to shove that into other people's faces, and peace shall forever thrive.

Now, putting minorities and inequalities topic aside. Things are actually quite simple. These costumes really just DON'T fit the game. Even if Rare adapted them to it, say they create a skeleton lord fluff costume, it will still feel out of spot/character. Simple as that fellas.

So let's all bring down the pitchforks and torches, and lift high our grogs instead!

Cheers me mateys, and fair winds!

We have the sea of sands set, we have the oriental set, if we were to have a viking set that would fit the aesthetics of SoT with pelts and whatnot, now that something that could be cool, an addition of cosmetics for it's visual and style, not to prove a point and because the devs have been armwrestled into adding something for the sake of pleasing a lifestyle group or another.

Wouldn't mind fighting Kermit the frog on a pirate ship tbh …………

/me looks at his profile picture

You and me both 😁

No offense, but that doesn't really fit with the pirate theme.

Additionally, something like that makes more sense for a game like fortnite, and I do not want to see SoT become a costume flooded game like fortnite.

@furrybond-yt As long as there is no over-the-top rainbow wolves and cats with neon strobe lights, I'm fine with some more animalike curses, and such. The Parrot gloves have talons, surely there could be belts with tails incorporated, anything is possible, I just dont want everything too colorful and out-of-place in-game.

@illbushido305 Aye, I smell something fishy with our friend @phuzzybond I mean @Furrybond-YT, specifically in the gamertag and general new-ness to the forum and, not even half an hour spent in the game. Ah, and their Youtube channel is at a 1:1 ratio of viewers and subscribers, with zero views and zero subs, because the channel does not exist. @deckhands

I respect all communities, and I will respect you no matter who/what you are, who/what you like, and if I slip up, forgive me and let me make things right, but this here, is a troll post and should be locked.

@ninja-naranja because it's fake. That's why it seems ludicrous. They've fooled everyone, myself included. Look at their stats, time played, time on the forum, their non-existent Youtube Channel. No player with half an hour in-game is gonna ask for a pirate emporium update.

Shenaniganery, Tomfoolery, Bamboozlement, and Dumbfoundery is at play.

@xultanis-dragon lol who hurt you?

@klutchxking518 We’ve been tricked, we’ve been backstabbed and we’ve been quite possibly, bamboozled.

@klutchxking518 I think most of us are just taking it at face value on purpose.

Some took it as a real post. This pirate in fact. Hook, line, and sinker, they caught themselves a ButteryBarnacle.
