Make all hairstyles avaliable to both genders

iKat

GM_Ado All the arguments in favor are excellent. I have nothing to object. But what about those who dislike this idea? Such opinions were voiced earlier, and I don’t see any proposals addressing them.

If none of my concerns are justified—great! It’s your decision. Those who like it will use this option; those who don’t—won’t.

As for the existing issues with alignment of current sprites and effects... I’ll report them when I can~ It would be wonderful, of course, if others did this too (since I know there are people who notice such things but for some reason never post on the forum).

iKat Hi! I think the answer to your question "But what about those who dislike this idea? Such opinions were voiced earlier, and I don’t see any proposals addressing them." is already in your post too "Those who like it will use this option; those who don’t—won’t.". I think this is a really great idea for more fashion options for people and those who just don't like using the current female hairstyles on male sprites (and vice versa) just won't use it.

EDIT: Maybe if it really is an issue for others to have male hairstyles on female sprites, there can be an option to toggle it off (similar to the class sprite cosmetic thing). But then, if we are worried about the workload of GMs, then it's actually gonna make things harder for them and more work for them instead of just ignoring the opposite gender's hairstyle.

xosofiya Hi! I agree. But it would be genuinely wonderful if someone besides me would voice and substantiate their position too—and propose their own ideas. And yes, the toggle idea is good. I can't say whether I'd use such an option myself, since I don't know if it would make me uncomfortable or not.

But IMHO, a disable feature is necessary because there should always be choice.

Yes, this creates extra work for GMs. But if GMs want to implement such features, there must be an option to disable them if you dislike it. Because the simplest way to ignore changes on a beloved server is to leave it—when it evolves in ways you dislike. Yet people will never say why they're leaving, to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Sounds like a weird extreme to talk about leaving the server cause of having more hair options, specially given we already have a few hairs considered female on the male set and vice versa.
We cant create an on/off button for every visual/aesthetic we implement, specially when only one person has opposed to it.

GM_Ado There’s this concept called the 'snowball effect.' MuhRO isn’t an official server, but it’s the closest of all to kRO. I know people who specifically chose this server for that reason, and not all visual changes are welcomed positively by them. I also know players who have already left the server because of this.

As I mentioned earlier, people don’t voice their thoughts when leaving—they avoid unnecessary conflicts. But I believe it’s right to speak my mind and also share the concerns of others I’m aware of (especially if they don’t post themselves for whatever reason).

And yes, you’re absolutely right: in this discussion, I stand alone on my side of the argument. That’s why I’m bowing out. 🐱 ❤️

I think the idea of having all the hairstyle options available to both body types is a good one, one that'll open up some fun customization. It's definitely worth considering!

About the only addition I could think of would be if all the Doram heads were available to all Dorams, but I understand that they're held together by good intentions as is 💦

altopoco Personally, I could live with more than a few graphical imperfections and would happily just work around them if I got more Doram heads to work with : )
