Gendered flower crowns? Really?

[Kiriati]

The answer to "girls have more stuff just for them!" is....convince SE to convert more stuff for the male models.....get rid of genderlocked gear entirely....let people wear what they want.....
Like that's also a problem
If a game has a subscription they just shouldn't genderlock stuff to begin with
They also shouldn't make things undyeable tbh. Nobody likes genderlocks or undyeable gear and idk how many times the community has to say that before it sinks in over at Square, but I'm willing to add one more thread to the pile

Nothing irks me more than when they make accents a non-neutral color... I was so excited for the crown... but I can't even use it cause of the piiiink.

Crowns are gendered because the event is gendered.

Crowns are gendered because the event is gendered.

The event is geared towards the feminine, yes, but by that logic the female flower crown should be the better one and it's not
But regardless, it's a flower crown. I understand male and female aesthetics for whole outfits (lord/lady stuff, the idol outfits, moonfire) but this is one accessory item. Why make one gender's noticeably worse than another's? We're all still wearing flowers on our heads

That's like, your opinion, man. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean others don't.

I don't know why people would deny others saying it should dye better?

It would be good if it does? I would really welcome it because the flowers don't go well with all colors either.
Also dark dyes look HORRIBLE on the female crown. Really horrible.

this thread is why they went SJW on the rules

Honestly, I don't mind at all. When I look at the lodestone page or the pics provided by the OP, I see a 'king' and 'queen' version of the crown. Of course, I also don't hide that I'm a conservative who supports traditional values. I do understand where the gripes are coming from, but I also don't find it be anything to be very upset over. While the male version would look great on females as well, I do not feel the same about the female version of the crown on males, which I think would only look good on the females because it is comprised only of flowers.

These crowns make me think of the B.C. era and ancient Greece/Rome when this attire was more common. From the limited knowledge I do have about these times, it seems that the male wreaths definitely were constructed to have more leaves, laurels, and even stone opposed to flowers. Especially the ones that were used as ceremonial rewards for tournament and military successes along with other valiant deeds.

In short, the leaves give the crown a flair of masculinity. I can't speak for the dye options, but I also don't mind that the pink flowers stay pink.

I quite like the approach that they took. Furthermore, we're very close to Shadowbringers so the development team is understandably busy with the expansion. I'm not going to hold it against them if seasonal event rewards aren't utterly breathtaking if it means the bulk of their attention is on the expansion.

I just find the whole thing weird. Why did they need to be genderlocked? It's just a flower crown. Surely it would have been better just to give us both crowns unlocked and let us use whichever we prefered.
