I'm responding because I am struggling to understand this other person's perspective, thats because it is very different to mine and I am attempting to be respectful of both this person and the forum policy. This is not designed to derail the post but to add value. You know I think I agree with you in a sense, there is merit in saying that nothing can be true. But there is something to be said for personal truth, which you indicate you think is real because you said you have beliefs (not to peg you down or anything, this is just sincerely my observation), and beliefs always require some kind of truth; how can a person willingly believe in a lie? "I believe that what ever feels right to you, is the right thing for you." That would be your personal truth, maybe its not true for everyone, but I think it's true for you (unless you lied lol); and then to anyone else, obviously that would be an opinion (not a bad thing, opinions are good too). So, I know this is being a bit trying and I might be pushing it a bit. But would you be willing to say that there are societal truths? That people living in a society believe are true for them? This is a perspective I have, and I really get the feeling we have common ground there, that's why I am being a little bit bold to ask that last question. The reason I wanted to engage this deeply and from such a complex psychological standpoint is actually (also because intuition says you'd be good to have tricky discussions with) to bring it all back to hair lol. Even if it's not your truth or my truth, I get this feeling that a societal truth about hair, is that long luscious hair with a colourful flower pinned flower in the side (for example, the gender stuff can go either way) is a female stereotype. I even think that's a truth in the Gw2 universe (let's skip the eplispy inducing aura spam on max sized charr, that's a whole different thing that would take us way off topic). Aside for the aforementioned, this idea of crossing gender stereotypes; I think has truth in the game. I can say that with confidence, simply because despite the game being very progressive with the inclusion of homosexual couples, transgenders and cross-species relationships, this one thing seems to go totally skipped. Do you think thats fair to say? I'm not sure how much of that you agree with, and I don't expect to find common ground in everything. Hey I might even be wayyyyy off, but I'm glad we can have good dialogue about this nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna.7845 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 What's wrong with crossdressing? There's nothing wrong with a man with long hair just as there's nothing wrong with a woman with shaved hair. Or a man wanting to look feminine and a woman wanting to look masculine are both fine. People should be allowed to embrace their sexuality in peace. Just because it goes against someone's beliefs doesn't mean it's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 This is the truth in a nuthell: Just because YOU wouldn't wear a certain hairstyle doesn't mean your opinion or feelings about it should stop everyone else. Game or otherwise. As I hinted earlier, I think the man bun is as ugly as sin, but more power to the guys that love it. Yes, I also think some of it's out of place or inappropriate, like that pink-haired and pink-bearded guy who spoke in front of a congressional committee, but I'll fight tooth and nail for his right to have that choice. And that's the bottom line: the right to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I might even be wayyyyy off, but I'm glad we can have good dialogue about this nonetheless. Interesting points. Keep in mind, regarding your reference to societal truths, that there is really only one solid measure of such (at least here in the US where the game is developed). We as a society have chosen to not repeal those elements of the founding laws of the land which codify the right to self expression, including dress and the like. By definition the decision to live in a society that codifies those rights makes those rights a truth for the society. Of course this is private property and so certain rights are not guaranteed, but the point responded to referenced society as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taygus.4571 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Odd. People have turned this into a race argument when the OP specifically stated sex. Oo I completely agree with OP, hair should be unisex. Many women style their hair "like men" and vice versa in real life, why shouldn't they be able to do so in game too? It's not like hair only grows in a specific way per gender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coso.9173 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 the fact is: -for those who like it, it will add much more customization to their characters. -for those who don't, it doesn't affect them in anyway. if it's about immersion breaking, it's already happening. the same people that made goofy/funny characters will keep doing it and the people who want to make serious characters will still do it. Also, not all feminine hair will look ridiculous on a guy, here's an example. https://pre00.deviantart.net/12e6/th/pre/i/2017/180/8/f/estinien_in_stormblood_first_cutscene_by_fantasy_girl19-dbeg9ld.jpg in FFXIV one of the most badass characters has what would be traditionally called a female/feminine hairstyle.

Interesting, indeed. So because there are so many regional servers, we don’t get to see them eventually? So if: are there any other region-specific styles and why is it there in the first place, in a game distributed for world-wide interactions and coop?
