Magnets

So apparently there's some discourse going on about the new multiplayer game Lost Ark and how the female characters are presented if you want to create your own heroine with one article describing it as feeling "a decade out of date".  Specifically, people are not particularly happy that it seems difficult to find pants for the female characters since they get stuck in high heels and short shorts by default.  But also, the female walk cycle is pretty hilarious as has been noted on Twitter.

Somebody asked what is happening with the walk cycle of the women characters, and my response was "magnets".  After watching it a few more times, I'm pretty sure I'm right.
