[Request] Can we have more race-specific hairstyles?

[Magic-Mal]

I don't think you quite understand... Every culture and every era has a "fashion," basically. Feudal Japan versus modern Japan, Victoria/Edwardian era, Renaissance Italy, et cetera. The "hime" hairstyle is part of a culture. Those are basically the things I'm asking for: more styles that would be applicable to our races' original cultures so we can have more to choose from aside from the very few that we have.

This example you give kinda supports what the other people have been saying actually. As you said, the Hime cut is a part of Feudal Japanese culture, and people who are a part of that culture can wear that haircut with reason. People like Yotsuyu! Who is a female Midlander, not an Au Ra. So if Midlanders like Yotsuyu can wear a Hime hair which is Au Ra-only due to cultural reasons, what would stop a traveler from being able to wear that hair after adopting or appreciating their culture? Much like us players getting beast tribe clothing, emotes, and dances after we embrace their culture. This is what people opposed to locks are trying to say. This is why they call locks "arbitrary".

When you lock something for no real reason(no other reason that wasn't debunked to death anyway) other than: "I don't want others to have it", that is when it is called an arbitrary lock because people cannot find a legitimate reason as to why they should understand the lock. If there was a good reason as to why a person can't wear another culture's hairstyle, people would understand. I promise you that. That's why you don't see threads asking for women's bikinis unlocked for men and battle job gear unlocked as often. Or asking for Miqo'te eyes on Midlander. Because those are understandable locks. Think of the bunny ears you said yourself! And I do understand. I hate genderlocks. Because it's usually not fair!(especially for males) There was no legit reason why a male couldn't wear the ears so people fought and fought. And now look! The guys have it

I hope this clears up my reasoning a little more.
