Discussing your 'unpopular' opinions

You know what, I'll bite.

They should only release male only and gender neutral glamours until the amount of male and female only glamours are equal in number.

It's sad that this has to be put in unpopular opinions, because it is definitely something that needs to happen.

I remember someone doing the math, and its like, 4 outfits.

And that's four outfits too many.

My point is the difference is exaggerated, not that there is no difference.

Who was exaggerating? It's a fact that there's more female exclusive glamour than male, no one said any numbers like there were 1 million outfits females had that males don't.

It isn't really exaggerated when you consider the broader picture. A considerable number of outfits and hairstyles are being marketed as 'unisex' but in reality are clearly targeted to appease those players who enjoy feminine and androgynous aesthetics. A lot of people have spoken up to ask about things such as more facial hair options for male characters and proper eyebrows for Highlander men only for there to be radio silence. Then, of course, there's the male version of the bunny outfit to consider. It was stated to be a thing that was being worked upon years ago and yet we've still seen no sign of it.

There have also been people stepping forward saying that the only reason they play a female character in this game is due to feeling like male characters are simply neglected by comparison.

Of course, whenever anybody does bring up the disparity between the male and female outfits there's never a lack of someone else swooping in to downplay any concerns, legitimate though they may be. Funny how that works - especially since those selfsame individuals are always playing female characters themselves.

Confusing and wildly unpopular opinion: I loathe the entire concept of rotations. There ceases to be any kind of individuality in gameplay when everyone is the equivalent of a robot; all pre-programmed with a specific set of moves for 'optimum DPS', usually taken from some guy/gal on Reddit posting along with some unfathomable chart of numbers. I adore spontaneity and instinctive gameplay - something which, for me, only a healer role really has in abundance.

And on the flip side to this, all of the Veteran Reward outfits were from the male characters, and there were no options for female characters at all.

I'd prefer it if they stopped the unisex stuff and gave male and female versions.
Unisex just makes everything look bland.

Is there a disparity? Yes. Do they owe males the bunny outfit? yes. Is the problem exaggerated? still yes.
