It's time (Option to Hide other players Glamour)

[Krotoan]

Except that, as this discussion has made repeatedly clear, there are two very different ways of looking at it, and people do see that as letting someone else choose what they wear. It's still their character being presented in a way they didn't choose and may feel uncomfortable about.

Yes. Entirely a perception problem. Which is weird when a lot of counter arguments to this supposed encroachment upon their self expression are to tell people that it's THEIR problem and they should just tolerate it. Not that that's your argument but if you're going to say there's another way to look at it, you have to consider both perspectives.

You can make your argument be about the green metallic pigs who are doing it to annoy, but it's not the only motivation people have for not wanting their character altered. As we have covered so very many times here.

I will not deny some people have non antagonistic reasons for not wanting the option there, but it is a very common response even within this thread to immediately suggest that they're going to go be as obnoxious as possible on purpose just because they can. The fact that these posts come out as often as they do makes me think this isn't as isolated a mindset as some would have you think. Truly there will always be a loser, but as someone who could give a wet slap about what some random on the internet sees and someone who knows for a fact there are those literally getting their jollies from redressing my character as they see fit with no restriction, I don't feel this option is all that oppressive or worse an alternative. That's of course personal perspective, but it seems that's all we're arguing at this point.

You can have your own opinion on whether their feelings outweighs your desire to not see their outfit, but it doesn't stop people from feeling that way. You are choosing the attire of an extension of their character or personal avatar if you have the ability to alter other players' characters, whether they care or not.

The only question is where the border lies between their rights and yours, and increasing your rights cannot happen without decreasing theirs.

Whether my right to experience something I've paid for in the way that I wish on my personal property trumps their desire to look a certain way on my computer.
Nobody has any right to tell me what I have to see on my computer. Just as nobody has any right to tell you what to wear on your own body. However if i made AR goggles that superimposed clown outfits on everyone I looked at, what argument would you have?

Again.. stop equating a virtual and mutable experience into real life expression and oppression. It is not the same.
