Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

[Tsunenori]

Then the mod(s) in question needs to be restricted to the player's own avatar and people on their friends list. If that were the case then I'd agree: no reason whatsoever to complain about what consenting people are doing on their own time with their own game.

If there was a way to actually do this I don't think you'd see much complaining about it. This is one of those "sure it'd be nice" ideas that doesn't actually have a way to exist because that's just not how it works, and the only way to actually try to change something like that would be for Square-Enix to officially sanction it and that's something they definitely won't do. I'm with you there though.

Um...why is this weird? The player has control over whether they want to wear a swimsuit or not, and who to wear it for. You don't have control over someone seeing you, apart from hoping the mod only works with specific pieces of clothing.

The weird, for me, is that nobody is seeing *you* but rather your character. The attachment to the concept of it being you is what's strange. I can't stress enough that this is my own personal opinion here though. You don't agree with that, and it's okay that you don't (and aren't the only person who doesn't), but that's my opinion on where some of the pushback is coming from. You can see the amount of likes on posts with similar statements kind of backs that up.

Most people don't really see themselves as or put much of themselves into their characters. Maybe I should have chosen a different word than weird, or made it more clear that the weird part was my own personal opinion and not a statement of fact.
