You think?

....I wasn't aware the FFXIV community hated goth/alt style this much. A bit disheartening to see all of the extremely hateful comments in this thread, not going to lie.

I think there's a lot of both extremely silly looking and extremely boring looking things in the game, and a lot of styles I personally can't stand. I don't like the cutesie pink aesthetic many go for on my characters, but celebrate them being able to create the things they enjoy.

Why are tattoos & facial piercings such a point of contention...? I'd personally love if stuff like that was added to the game and would use it. I understand not liking the style even if I personally disagree, but to claim it's the 'most ugly trend' in a paraphrased way is a bit much.

Do people hate RPR and DRK looks in general or something?

Can someone explain to me why there's such a deep dislike for the style without just being insanely insulting? Why would these be a problem when all these mascot costumes and other silly things aren't? And if you do have a problem with a lot being added... I mean, same, but you don't see me putting down people who use it? Even if personally I really dislike most of the new hair added?

I'm just trying to understand why people feel the need to flip out over the idea of creating characters with certain styles and being like 'I DONT WANT THAT ON MY SCREEN' well tough, there's a ton of things I also don't but you don't see me demanding the removal of or putting down people who want it.

It takes me 5min in Limsa to get a headache from all these people trying so hard to play IMVU.

Like I get it most of people are narcissistic as hell, but it kills the charm of the game day after day with all of these Kpop and harnesses fits.

This exact wording itself is coming off as narcissistic as hell though. What 'charm of the game'...? Why is what other people use for their characters such a problem, and why not find an FC with like-minded people in that case who restrict glams, I guess? Like, you're claiming others are narcissistic for liking certain looks while you're here complaining about their choices. I think you need to look in the mirror.

For a community bragging about being so kind and open, the things said in this thread make me laugh at that notion. I'll chalk it up to the forums just being a toxic wasteland in general given some of the complaints I've seen here (and likes on them) when lurking.

(And yes, I'm aware OP is derpy and spouting nonsense in many ways, which is frustrating to those of us who want stuff like this don't come across as some irritating teen, but still.)
