Why the hyperbole?
It isn't ruining anyone's day. None of us said it ruins the game. Meanwhile, you're making a fuss because we'd like to have an option?
How would you feel if I said "Apparently, it ruins someone's day to play a video-game without having their characters wearing skimpy clothing"? Please...
Besides, isn't it a bit... hypocritical that the same people who clamored for more options are now saying more options are bad (especially when said options don't even affect them)?
"You have a heart of gold. Don't let them take it from you!"
There's a big difference between more options, and having the ability to make everyone else's options invisible. It's like requesting some weird form of rose coloured glasses.
Yeap, you do get it. I don't like every glam I see. I think some are bloody awful. But it doesn't bother me enough that I want SE to change the game for me.
Thus, the blacklist feature. However, blacklisting is a bit drastic in this case and doesn't achieve the intended result. Hence asking for something more targeted. Really, it all comes down to how feasible/cost-efficient it is to implement; I don't think any other aspect of it is even up for debate.
It does not harm the player on the receiving end in the slightest, since it just means you, the player, do not see their glamour. If the concern is how they'd look in screenshots, it can just blank them out or something.

When the game's story becomes self-aware:
Or compromise no screen shots or streaming with the feature on. If SE can afford to implement.
104 on the original post, 103 on the first "absolutely not" post, and 112 on... well.
I mean, do I really 'want' to see a dude in a tanga and cowboy boots and a hat running around in my dungeon? Nah. Do I care enough to want to exclude him from my view? No. It's simply not something that I think needs 'added to the game'. More ways of excluding others from the game are not a good thing, imo.
YMMV.
"The internet is a bubble dominated by the loudest, most unrepresentative voices; an infinitesimally small minority of a minority which, deaf to reason and the opinions of others, deludes itself that somehow it is the voice of the majority. An infinite echo chamber of shrieking, witless banality."
How exactly are you "excluding others" from the game by using an entirely client side feature?I mean, do I really 'want' to see a dude in a tanga and cowboy boots and a hat running around in my dungeon? Nah. Do I care enough to want to exclude him from my view? No. It's simply not something that I think needs 'added to the game'. More ways of excluding others from the game are not a good thing, imo.

How exactly is "leaving things the way they are" dictating what people can and cannot do with their own devices?
I'm not sure how people are getting excluded, but generally, yes, I agree with this. It's just an unnecessary dev attention that's better spent on something else. And again, if it's in the game, it's free to use.I mean, do I really 'want' to see a dude in a tanga and cowboy boots and a hat running around in my dungeon? Nah.
