Why is glamour shaming still such a huge problem in FF14? Let's fix it in 2020.
tw: shaming, s*ut-shaming, glamour-shaming
For the second time this week I was approached by strangers who told me that my glamour made me look like a s*ut. I don't know what I've done to deserve this as I was quiet in the party and didn't say anything.
I can't fathom why people are so obsessed with glamours to the point where you are judged based on your glamour. It's incredibly shallow, not to mention hurtful to those who can't or won't spend millions of dollars to buy the latest high end clothing or spend real money to buy glamour.
I get that you're very proud of your shiny glowy sword but there is absolutely no need to put down those with lesser means who can't afford to buy those on the market board. I saved a lot of Gil to buy the Pagos set and I am deeply hurt that someone would call me a s*ut over that.
Hopefully in this new year, we as a community can get over the glamour shaming and toxicity that has corrupted so much of the social scene in this game. Before you tell someone that their glamour looks s*utty or looks garbage, consider if perhaps they did not have the same privilege as you to acquire fancy and shiny weapons in game or on the Mog Station. Thank you for listening and please spread this message and call out the glamour elitists that you know in the game.
