Well, the outfit isnt the problem, but the weird self flaggelation, public display and calling himself out for playing a dark skinned miqo, while arguing with someone else that pretty much plays a character with the same race and similiar skintone. It felt a bit extra and confused to say the least, like trying to pin some other dislikes onto me, while completely ignoring the fact, that my own character pretty much looks the same. It just feels like trying to force something extra, when theres already plenty of things one could criticize me for, without inventing something I potentially might dislike.

using that logic should i just not play any character since not one of them goes pale enough to my irl skin tone, Should I loose all access to any hairstyle that isn't covering one eye in game? Should I not walk around when the sun is up in game since it gives me migrains irl and makes me feel drained? Should I only be allowed races thats the same height...

also how do you not know they dont have that skintone irl.. my ... um ya plays a orc on wow should he not be allowed to since he isnt green?

ill be in more trouble irl for chatting on here while i still can but i saw this on my phone was so stupid and irrating i couldnt resist even though i know when he gets home _-_

although after tonight i might not be able to play anything on here.. unless i can out smart w/e plan he has

Albinism?

They do have snow white skin tones, but you'd need to be a Raen Au Ra, Moon Keeper Miqo'te, or Duskwight Elezen to have access to those extremely pale skin tones. Since you play an Au Ra, if you wanted that, the first option in the section of the greener skin tones is actually a tone that perfectly matches the white scale color. It's my favorite for the race, in fact. I can take a photo if you want to see.

Not sure if it would work for you since you love the black and violet contras, but you might like it!

Did you even read my sentence? Please, please. try to read a sentence, before responding with things completely unrelated to what I've said. I literally highlighted "someone elses focus on skin tone". I didnt criticize anyone for anything related to that, i highlighted someones strange mental breakdown in trying to pin another grievance onto me, it's not that difficult to understand if you have a basic understanding of english.

Like I said, you can argue against my objectively extreme dislike on piercings and tattoos, but atleast do so instead of arguing against some imaginary version of me, that you created in your own head, based on me responding to someone elses attempt at pinning more ficticious dislikes onto me.

Your are seemingly hallucinating a world where I am banning you from the sun. You mentioning "also how do you not know they dont have that skintone irl." literally proves that you both missed the point of my message, and that you didn't even read the wall of text, of the person I responded to.

to summarize, the poster i responded to went on a non sequitur and mentioned their own IRL skintone then contrasted it with their character, who they shared pictures of. This was strange to me because it had nothing to do with my prior comments of disliking piercings and tattoos. So the person instead mentioned something I obviously have no problem with, because I play a dark skinned miqote myself. I was bothered by that person literally inventing something "they think i have a problem with" instead of focusing on the things I actually mentioned.

If they implement piercings, tattoos, and other alternative looks for customisation, then fair play to CBU3. Would be nice to have more customisation and potentially have it be lore related, or just to add some more freedom to customisation.

Either way, if (and this is a big if) they add more things and it's stuff that you like, then awesome! If you don't like it, then you don't have to use it. If they don't add more stuff, then ah well, what can you do (aside from modding it, lmao).

Personally, I'd find it cool if there were lore-related tattoos for Miqo'te aside from the optional tattoos on their face. (Plus, I'd have love to have more markings on the body, instead of them just being on the face ;w; )

This reads like you would wear a full diving suit in the swimming pool and get angry when others say it's impractical and odd. It's bizarre and socially out of place for that environment, but since its proper swim wear in other contexts and modest, the OTHERS are wrong for their confusion and for dressing in trunks and bikinis.

Like, the only word that comes to mind is puritanical.

My intent with my post is that there's people out there that get very judgey about how other people create or dress-up their characters and then think they can police what they can and can not have, and this Alessa person doesn't sound any different from the folks who give people flak for playing something outside their IRL gender or race. Likewise, if they're going to insist other people have to customize themselves based on what they deem "correct" then they should be aware that people may find every facet of their own character objectionable from their appearance to their outfit. I all but called their hat and glasses awful to emphasize that point, but I didn't deem them worth blocking until they insisted on being rude anyway.

The self-deprecation is because I'm not the kind of person who thinks their butt doesn't stink and that I do indeed seem to have a character that checks off every box for what some people consider a "negative Miqo'te stereotype" minus the beeknees while AFKing in Limsa or some venue (I have way better things to do and don't RP in general). My whole point is that people can do what they want with their characters and if I don't care for a certain kind of customization, and there is a lot I don't like, then I just don't use it myself, I don't go on some tear about them being "trashy" or equating their actions to bringing down some imaginary neighborhood or the value of humanity or whatever they were trying to get at because tattoos and piercings upset them. I don't even like tattoos or piercings myself, but I don't attack the people who do.
