It was bitched about for both, and it's equally as pointless especially if the player character's sex has no impact whatsoever on the game. It literally means nothing in Palworld, because the game is about Pals, not you. You are a cardboard cutout that can wear a fancy hat. For like the third time I'm going to also say that the breeding pen, where the Pals FUCK, requires a MALE and a FEMALE. The tooltip literally says Male/Female not present if either is missing.
Ever heard of placating? Pacifying? Appeasing? That's basically it. Throw the troons a morsel to prevent a chimpout*. I know someone will find a way to turn this into le slippery slope despite the fact that NOTHING ELSE was changed when it comes to sex-related things in this game. The "whore" in the Anvil Siren quest won't suddenly say "YOU ARE A BODY TYPE 1, AND I AM A BODY TYPE 2 WITH A CERTAIN DESIRE. YOU FIGURE OUT THE REST".
*Chimpout occurred regardless, just from the other side**. And let's be honest, neither one would magically buy the game based solely on two words being swapped. You weren't going to buy it either way, you just like to bitch for them based dilasneed points.
**Why placate the troons, and not you? Because the troons are mentally ill and could actually harm someone in the process (other than themselves, that is, in which case whatever).
