Here's the rub: I'm a Highlander and I hate Highlander Hempen and never actually use it. But it was designed for Highlander, clearly from both a physical and lore POV, and is another unique aspect of the race. Making all the races the same is not the answer and it's clearly not a policy SE is on board with.

And yes, the fascination with Elezen, Roe and Highlander Hempen is primarily because there aren't a plethora of catgirls running around with it right now. That's a good thing.
And again, you're missing the point.

Yes, people will fantasia for very silly trivial reasons. They will continue to do so even if the hempen set loses it's racial lock.

Clothing does not make a race unique. Clothing can be changed at the drop of a hat. Clothing is not a physical part of your being. Clothing is transitory. You are not your khakis.

And yet again we see it's your distaste for the existence of catgirls fueling your bias.

If they unlock it it's not like they'll suddenly multiply overnight. It's not like lalas getting doused with water and getting fed past midnight.
