During early halloween, the lizardman items had a glitch where, if you changed your arm pose, sometimes it cut off the arm. A lot of people didn't wear this like a glitch. They wore it like - DUN DUN DUNNNN, AN AMPUTEE. Personally, I thought this was awesome, but by the time I found out about the glitch, it had already been fixed.
(An example of the glitch:)
Boo.
:c
I'd really love to have a proper amputee item, not just an artificial limb item like the robot arms or the peg legs. An actual, missing limb item. I don't think it would be too hard if Gaia just made an item that took advantage of the disappearing arm glitch. Well, I'm not a programmer, so I don't know. But if these glitches happen in the first place, it can't be hard to do them again, but on purpose?
I realise that the EI Case of Pietro has a shirt that gives an amputated limb, but one shirt with limited layering and equip options isn't enough.
It seems that the amputated limb pose isn't an amputated limb at all, but just holding one arm behind the back. Thanks for the heads up, TheTallerOne.

I apologise if you feel that way, but not having an amputee item on Gaia could just as easily be interpreted at belittling the physically disabled by not representing them in something as wildly popular as Gaia and its avatar system. On top of that, many people use avatars to reflect their real selves - some of whom may have physical disability and wish to portray that in their avatars - as well as countless "cosplayers" of amputee characters (e.g. Assassin's Creed's Malik), and as far as I know, no one who has signed this petition has distasteful motives for wanting Gaia to have a representation of one aspect of physical disability.
This petition, the idea of an amputee item, and any avatars designed for an amputee item were not created with the intended purpose to mock, parody, or otherwise cause offence to any individual with physical disability. I myself have nothing but respect for the physically disabled - the same respect I would afford any human being. This petition is only intended to help diversify Gaia, and help create accurate representations of amputee characters in avatars.
