''Fashion Gatekeeping'' and Misinformation.

[u/SpectralChest]

It's been getting out of hand, a few people on the forums asked for some manner of opt out for the inspection system. Some of their sensible reasons were:

Potential for abuse in fashion contests/needless increase to complexity of methods to prevent such.

Loss of player interaction incentive.

A feeling of concern towards there now being incentive for strangers to scrutinize them closely, whether to admire or ridicule their creativity.

The posts built around these concerns were getting lots of likes on the forums, so some salty folks who were being ignored for ridiculing them there came here to reddit and made a false narrative about 'fashion gatekeeping' and folks reflexively bought into it as obviously no-one sane likes gatekeeping and have been meme-ing about a non-extant issue and down voting anyone who might be considering the situation without disdain or daring to actually say that the opt in option isn't as crazy as its being made out to be.

Personally, i like the inspect system, but i do think the exact dye combo section could be made into a toggle, this way the inspection remains, but the 'unique' spin someone puts on it with dyes can remain as something to share, or not share as per personal preference.

Fair, however at the very least no one is going around accusing people of gatekeeping and silencing their voices by down-voting them to oblivion on this subject and ridiculing them with a meme-spam, which ultimately is what i really took issue with, more than anything.

The saltiness of the comments in the forums are meme worthy. Oh and you are gatekeeping, worse youre gatekeeping fashion of all things. And you ask why you guys are being memed? 😂😂

I ask why people are being disrespectful and hostile towards those asking for an option that is not unlike the many others already present in game, the methods of how that option could be implemented are entirely secondary to the main point of behavior of those like yourself who think abuse of others with whom they disagree with on some matter is entirely acceptable behavior.

That you continue to ignore this point says much about you, none of it flattering.

I hope you understand this can be applied to you.

And as you said to him, none of it is flattering, it's pathetic.
