STOP Genderlocking Cosmetics!!

Why do glamours need to be "purely" masculine for you?

Because i enjoy masculine glams. We get purely feminine glams all the time. I want masculine glams added in the same quantity as those. Like, we can argue back and forth about this glamour type has more or less of it but the bottom line is, there is seemingly far less effort put into male/masculine glams than there are the female ones. Healing sets are a big example of this, where they barely even change the design from the female set. Bunny outfit is another one. All i want is for that same effort,time,and resources to be put into designing male glams and not constantly coming out with feminine-esque glams. That needs to be addressed before they start taking time away and resources away from that and putting it towards taking away genderlocks of already released gear. When they can’t even give us new glams from dungeons and it’s instead recycled glams, that’s already concerning. I don’t need to see more of that purely because a minority wants no genderlocks. People have been asking for more masculine options for years and it’s fallen on deaf ears and instead they’ve pandered to the crowd asking for androgynous of feminine things. It’s ironic considering Yoshi P’s stance of “equality.”

It harder to make things "purely masculine" though, because a thing becomes feminine as soon as you put some ruffles and ribbons on it, but what do you do to something to make it unquestionably male, no girls allowed?

I'm not asking this to trap you. It's an honest question and people seem to squirm away from it whenever I ask.

Fashion itself is skewed to make it easy to wall things off as "feminine" but a lot harder the other way. So what would achieve that for you?

Dungeon gear has always alternated between new and recycled designs. ARR just repeated the same few sets over and over; Heavensward created quite a few new designs but then reused some, or gave everyone colour variations on a single design; Stormblood settled into alternating between new and reused sets. There's nothing new or concerning about it, just their standard production cycle, and I just see it as another opportunity to get outfits in different colours or for other classes.

I would say masculine fashion would be something, like feminine fashion, that accentuates a male's traits. Something like open shirts that bare the chest or ones that are sleeveless to show off muscle. Personally if I wanted my male characters to be dressed masculine I'd just have them with their shirts off. I already do that with my hrothgar alts. Outside of musculature and their bait'n tackle, men don't really have as much to focus on as women.
