I was going to reply to you in the original thread, but here I go since this is gd and I can have more baby fights or something
All of you who think this have probably never drawn in your lives, or designed anything. Is there a bigger market for female fashion? Sure, that’s an argument, but stop with the argument that it takes more work and that the male stuff looks terrible. Just squint between two different gendered outfits, they all have a similar level of detail and love put into them.
I will bet that even maggi herself finds it much easier to design things for females, given her bias to drawing girls over guys. If anything, it is male designs that take more work, creativity, and inspiration. If you think that the designs are ugly, that is purely subjective. In my eyes, some of the male hairs and costumes have much higher artistic value than the female ones.
Like I said before, the only valid argument is that more female hairs are animated than male ones. Then in that case, why isn’t noble ponytail, a perfectly nice and animated long male hair the same price as the female hairs? ???
I don’t think that this is something sourced from direct sexism, it’s just a business practice that has unfortunate implications.
Going by the same logic of everyone here, say, about child labor. It’s way bigger in scale and much more severe, but the way people justified it is the exact same way you guys are justifying this. Why did people use children for labor? Not because they hated kids and wanted to see them suffer, surprise. It’s because kids were cheap labor. Then why was it regulated and banned? think about it real hard for a second.
I don’t think the hair price difference even comes close in severity, but it’s the same idea. And yes, it does matter because it concerns money.
