I just checked out "Walk" on men and women and I didn't see the male walk as particularly... feminine. Then I thought that maybe an eight foot tall Huge-build Frost Giant with a big ol' beard might be throwing me off... so I tried it on a relatively normal guy. Still looked fine to me.
Maybe I'm way too in touch with my feminine side? Or something.
My "girl's got an SG to feed" girl loves her Walk, though. (She used to make her living by getting tips from wealthy 40-something blasters for force fielding them. The bad ol' days before Wents. ) It's like Sands of Mu- good to have around even if she never actually needs to use it.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

But, yeah, now that we have it, I'm disappointed and wish it were different. But that just means I am still going to do without it indefinitely, I guess. |
Now that we have it, I'm rather indifferent to it. The big advantage to it that I see is using it for positioning on chairs and the like to be able to sit down more center on the seat. But I never did understand the whole "RP = WALK!" thing people seem to have going on.
But more to the point, my point was, some people will just NEVER be happy, period. And I think alot of the griping is really just a case of that more than anything.

There's a bit of a swagger in the male walk. I also don't find it particularly feminine, however. Just a bit more poise than most "guys" have. But since the female walk has alot more moxie than most women show as well, I don't really see the problem.

"Why is the male walk so feminine? "
"Because we're all FABULOUS!"
I have to admit the female one looks a touch provocative. Then again, so far I've only really checked it out on female toons, especially my "full figured" panda stalker...
I don't see the big deal about the male walk, it seems pretty normal and unfeminine to me. The female walk *is* a bit over the top, which I suppose means that I'll have to save it for special occasions.
Not that I was planning to use either very much anyway...

I can't use Walk. It distracts me too much.

I don't think there is any chance the band used Touche given it's not pronounced tush.

I don't have the album so I can't check the liner notes. And the bands official site doesn't have the lyrics. The word 'touche' is clearly wrong, based on the definition, but it wouldn't be the first time song lyrics deliberately had words wrong. Anyone have the album? |
Didn't find the male walk very effeminate either.
Apologies for low quality xfire video, I'm lazy.
I do also think the female walk is way more of a strut then a walk. Works well on some of my characters, no so well on others.
Devs create Walk
"We want the ability to walk DIFFERENTLY! Come on devs! Why do you hate RPers so much that you won't let us walk how we WAAAANNT?"
But, yeah, now that we have it, I'm disappointed and wish it were different. But that just means I am still going to do without it indefinitely, I guess.
