Why is glamour shaming still such a huge problem in FF14? Let's fix it in 2020.

Use the report>harassment function if someone comes up and does that. Troll post 0/10

I never get negative comments about my smexy glams and I'm a lala.
I instead either get heavy petting or thrown into a big boiling pot UwU

I have never gotten any comments ever on any race I played. I'm sad. I feel left out lol

Seriously.

We live in strange times, where people just get offended by everything. When you do something in public, you should let people to have their own opinion of your activity. Why do you think you're so special and say that your comfort with wearing strange/pervert outfit is more important than feelings of people who have to look at your glamour (and don't say they don't have to. You force them to do that in the instances)? Why are you so entitled? Do you really want to report and ban people because they do not like your glamour and said why they do not like it? I mean yeah, if they use really nasty and harsh words or don't want to leave you alone you definitely should report them, but for their opinion? I play a Lalafell and sometimes people write mean things to me, but I usually just smile and ignore them and five minutes later don't remember our meeting. They have right to do so and I have right to not feed their emotions.

I am personally fed up with all those half-naked copy and paste 2B's pants everywhere or with kinky yaoi male outfits. I usually just ignore them and respect players' right to dress their character the way they want, but when they do/say inappropriate things (for example try to imitate sex in Limsa Lominsa. I saw it a few times and it was gross af), I have the right to react and show my emotions. The game is for everyone, not only for special snowflakes who are like 'I dressed my character strange and somebody called it strange and said that they don't like it, waaah waaah waaah!.'

And glamour minority? Seriously? Not bigger problems in your life?

No. People DON'T "have a right to be mean". You are HIGHLY misinformed.

People have got right to say their opinion and surprise - opinion can be a negative one, too.

A negative opinion isn't the same as "saying mean things". Dislike for something can still be conveyed in a positive way. Shocking, I know. Simply saying I don't like your glamour is different from harrassing someone about it. The later will get you reported and reprimanded and justly so.

On the other hand if you don't like it why not just shut up and ignore it because someone isn't going to stop wearing what they like because you consider it an eyesore. You call people entitled for wanting to wear an outfit they like while displaying an extreme sense of entitlement yourself.

But I said that if somebody use bad language you should definitely report them. I suppose we misunderstoon because I used 'mean' to describe some stupid texts almost every Lalafells get from time to time.

Forcing someone to shup ut and do not say their opinion loud because you do not like it and won't listen IS entitlement. Especially when they don't order you to change your glamour, but simply say they dont like it.

Why is this thread still alive. Glamour shaming isn't a thing, and on the off rare chance that someone tries to 'glamour shame' you, then all you have to do is report them and block them and move on. Keyword, move on.

No one is "forcing you to shut up". You have no grounds to behave so childishly in the first place. Nobody has to dress to appease you. If you truly believe you have a right to insult people and they have to be quiet and just deal with it because you don't like what they are wearing then you are delusional.

Not when the opinion is uninvited. You are encroaching on peoples right to privacy to wear what is allowed to be worn in this game. By doing so you are forcing your opinion on someone who did not ask for your opinion in the first place and that borders on harassment.

So who has more the right of it? The little Lala who's quick to judge with their superficial mindset or the person who is not bothering you in the least, but to wear something they themselves find flattering for their character and has every right to wear it? What gives you the right to be judge, jury and site your unwelcome opinion to the person who is wearing it? You have no right, not in this game without it being deemed as harassment. I've seen people get a warning who voiced their negative opinion in a dungeon for whatever reason. There's no difference outside a dungeon. So you'd better check yourself on that one, because it may land you in trouble.
