...Really? Again, I find myself completely baffled over how stating an OPINION and ASKING OTHERS ON THEIR INPUT would be viewed as an attack at all.
Anyway, you'll notice that all of these things that were said above by myself were said with an "I think" or "In my opinion" or anything along the lines of "to me". In no stretch of the imagination was this an attack, unless you were purposely looking for something to sore about. I honestly could care less if you want your character to look pretty. I'm not saying you're bad for making them pretty, I'm not saying your character sucks for making them pretty, but I AM saying that I wouldn't go out of my way to make MY character look pretty within the world. Do whatever the hell you want with yours. (I can't believe we have to come back to the "Do whatever you want with your character" topic AGAIN.)

Really? 'Cause I've got several people (yet again) jumping down my throat for stating my opinion and wanting to have an open discussion about character appearances. You don't think that this kind of hostile response from a number of people wouldn't warrant my just saying "fuck it" and leaving to community? 'Cause if I were more sensitive to people like I use to, I really would have by now.
The fact that people can't speak their mind is chasing people off, because said people are so worried about saying the "wrong thing" and having someone flip their shit over nothing. However, that's not going to stop me.

The opening post does so as well, and it's easy enough to assume it's an attack rather than an admission of confusion or a confession of differing tastes. It really should have been called 'Rugged characters in a harsh world'.
Nope. I'm not going to walk on eggshells; I'm just not. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the title and nothing wrong with my opening post, because none of it is an attack and anything is completely imagined. You could say that I should have worded it better, but it's pretty much impossible to come up with a topic that makes everyone happy.
