Why is glamour shaming still such a huge problem in FF14? Let's fix it in 2020.

[Shibi]

I've had it happen to me while in a dungeon. Some people really hate Elezens. Called me a "giraffe wearing skimpy outfits". But it's easy to blacklist them quickly so I don't know why the OP doesn't just do that.

これケラ as a name choice was a bit obvious when you (once more) resurrect one of Titanman's old troll threads. It was the main give away to me.

It's back to being titanman season.

tw: shaming, s*ut-shaming, glamour-shaming

For the second time this week I was approached by strangers who told me that my glamour made me look like a s*ut. I don't know what I've done to deserve this as I was quiet in the party and didn't say anything.

I can't fathom why people are so obsessed with glamours to the point where you are judged based on your glamour. It's incredibly shallow, not to mention hurtful to those who can't or won't spend millions of dollars to buy the latest high end clothing or spend real money to buy glamour.

I get that you're very proud of your shiny glowy sword but there is absolutely no need to put down those with lesser means who can't afford to buy those on the market board. I saved a lot of Gil to buy the Pagos set and I am deeply hurt that someone would call me a s*ut over that.

Hopefully in this new year, we as a community can get over the glamour shaming and toxicity that has corrupted so much of the social scene in this game. Before you tell someone that their glamour looks s*utty or looks garbage, consider if perhaps they did not have the same privilege as you to acquire fancy and shiny weapons in game or on the Mog Station. Thank you for listening and please spread this message and call out the glamour elitists that you know in the game.

Its because you're playing a ronso. If you were a catgirl it would just be another day in FFXIV.

Are people really getting offended about their avatar's pixels being teased or 'shamed'?

Yeah OK what are you really trying to imply here

Glamour shaming is apparently still a thing in 2021. It's funny when it comes from bikini catgirls who are barely wearing more than me. The irony seems to be lost on them.

and apparently in 2022 too
got a hate"tell"from some random player about my bard adventurer plate (catgirl in a bikini top and blue lightning hair)
could not respond to said player because"player is in restricted area")are they a troll?
i swapped the portraits in my adventurer plates to show my main jobs in the shisui sets
including the aetherial purple background
sounds to me its a small minority of players who also hate revealing tmogs in WoW
who prefer criticising players who wear such outfits over keeping quiet i dont know

long post said player was put on the ignore list as soon as they wrote the tell
he didnt get me angry just confused

Haters gonna hate.

I never played that other game, but someone I know did and told me about that there. I've never ever encountered it on FFXIV, actually I haven't met a single nasty person if I'm honest.

I'm on balmung and spend 50% of my in game time semi afk in the Quicksand and have never seen this.

Though, maybe the Quicksands breeds more acceptance?
