Ah yes the classic long hair foolery. I used necklaces to trick my mind when I was Elezen, liked my short hair too much.

My issue too, too much clipping with the gear I use and long hair .

Catgirls have also very long necks. But interestingly nobody cares about it.

Pretty sure every race has the issue it's just Elezen are the "ugliest" of the bunch so they're double done.

Probably has something to do with the fact they're easier on the eyes overall, shorter, and most of their racial hairstyles are medium to long hair which makes it easier to ignore.
It takes a lot of effort to pretend their animations aren't garbage relative to any other race.

Where as elezen are the complete opposite. Most elezen look bad where it takes an attempt to make a catgirl look bad.
Elezens are also taller than most races and their racial hairstyles are shorthaired meaning attention to the neck is usually the first thing people see.

Yeah, all the races have long necks, but due to elezen proportions, it's much more pronounced for them. Like is said as well, their racial hairstyles aren't really flattering to these aspects either. It's no coincidence that to actually make an elezen look good, it takes quite a bit of effort making glamour that specifically hides these proportions, and yeah, the animations definitely don't help matters either.

Miqo'te, on the other hand, are probably one of the easiest races to glamour, even with their tail. Their proportions are alright, and their animations are decent. I personally don't like the race much though, but I have played it semi-often due to this.
