Lets talk about it Kleene

Background rule is kinda of a charade. What is the purpose of the contest ? Hairstyles or backgrounds?

Unvalidating a good entry because of a background is reckless. If that happened.. it shouldnt.

Rips offs are still there. If you see Quistis hair in the female section, Roxas hair on the male section( guy in the photograph aka N' 5), FF 1 hairstyle on the male section ( aka N' 20 ), etc

The thing is a small difference makes people say its not a rip off. But a more detached approach will tell you they do seem a rip off.( too similar not to be)

They were smart enough to make you believe thats not a rip off cause the hair is short one inch or two.(eg quistis hair)

But deep down inside you now its not original, its not .
