To be honest, I think this is mainly due to some stupid modders using the #FFXIV and #GPOSE tags too freely.
Most of the character images uploaded by modders are completely unrecognizable, and the worst are those that call themselves Au Ra but completely ignore horns and scales.
They seem to be mistaken in thinking that destroying the worldview and characters of FFXIV and forcibly bringing their own characters into FFXIV is self-expression. That's why you'd be better off playing other online games.
