Hello. My name is Jillian. I have to say that although I find your game quite enjoyable, I find that your catalog selection is a bit sexist. Boy's hairstyles are lot cheaper than girls. For example 'Shaggy" which is considered a boy's hairstyle is only fifty tix, seen with this link http://www.roblox.com/Shaggy-item?id=20573078 . it is directed towards boys because the description says "It looks cooler on your guy, I promise." With that said, that is directed towards guys. But, if you wanted a simple girl's hairstyle, you would need to pay 80 robux, as seen at the link http://www.roblox.com/Cinnamon-Hair-item?id=13745548 . You see, these hair styles are intended for two different genders that are equal. Would you please explain to me why the two hairstyles cannot be equal?
Also, would you care to explain to me why the girl's starter hair is pink? Are you assuming all girls like the color pink? You're very, very wrong. It is also unrealistic. If you were able to choose your hair color at the begging, it would lead to a cooler, and more fun experience. Same thing for the boys. If you were able to choose a hair color for your character when you start, it would lead to a more fun, more realistic game experience.
If you could take a few minutes to not be greedy and selfish and say "Well, just buy builders club, or buy robux," think about the kids whose parents cannot pay for nice and expensive game memberships. Even though it may just be five dollars, some people cannot afford to just waste money on a silly game.
Thank you for your time

Just cuz it's pink doesn't mean it's for girls... *sigh* who's sexist now?
I'm a girl, by the way. I'd say the amount of female hats are sufficient and most male hats are really unisex.
Shaggy actually works on female characters. It says guy because roblox has a primarily male audience.
The respectful style of your post is admirable compared to most roblox females, but the roblox admins don't really check the S&I forums - don't treat it like an E-Mail.
Also, to be fair, even if the shaggy hat DID only work on males, girls get a free hair and boys get a cap (which girls can get for free too from the catalogue).
You raise good points, but no support. Although we could use a few more colourful retextures... |

| It's not sexist. They simply don't make as much girl clothing. Maybe you shouldn't dress like OD'ers and you won't have a problem. |

No support to any of this.
Catalog is not sexist. Hundreds of hats for both genders, and more than half are unisex.
There are several different types of hair (long, short, brown, pink, red) in the catalog that you can buy.
And of course they will cost money, how else do you think ROBLOX would make money? They influence you to buy BC and they get money, you get more accessories and robux. |

To be completely honest, I think you're taking this all far too seriously. Sure, I can see where you're getting at on some points, but really, this isn't that big of a deal.
As for the shaggy being boy hair, I honestly think it can go either way depending on how you look at it. Sure, it may be intended for boys, but that doesn't limit your right to use it as girl hair, does it? If it's all you can afford, it's better then nothing. The price says absolutely nothing about which gender ROBLOX likes more or prefers, which in all cases, I'm sure ROBLOX corp thinks of both genders as equal. To put it simply, the price isn't implying anything.
It's... I'm sorry. You're overreacting over a starter hat. The color of it implies nothing. Boys don't even GET hair at the beginning of the game - so I guess that's why shaggy is cheap to begin with, possibly? Be happy you get hair free of charge, while males don't.
As for ROBLOX being "greedy" - and I've said this SEVERAL times - ROBLOX is a company that has to pay for a lot more then you think. Servers, domain information, server SPACE, paying their employees, etc. The reason they have hats like this is to earn money.
So, overall... for the hair color thing, I'm guessing that's what I got out of all of this? Because, to my point of view, I'm not sensing any of the sexism you're whining about. For the hair color thing, yeah, sure. I can see that as beneficial and useful.

Ehhhh
Even though I'm not a girl, I suggest you save up for holly hair. But it kinda looks awkward if you wear only holly hair on your head, so wear a kuddle e. koala. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON ROBLOXIAN 2.O IT'S LAME. Also, there might be a sale where America's Sweetheart hair is 10 robux. And remove the girl torso if you have any of those hair.
WELL THAT'S ALL I KNOW I'M ONLY A BOY. |

With all due respect sir, I don't think you really understand what I am trying to say. I am simply stating that I find it unfair how a hairstyle intended for boys is much, much cheaper than a hairstyle intended for girls. But, seeing you have no hair, you really aren't affected by what I am standing for.
You don't see my viewpoint from this. If you went through the forums, you will see there are various girls that are asking for cheaper hair. Yes, girls could buy shaggy, but like other girls, I want my character to look like me, in real life. No, I'm not an OD-er, I just want my character to look more like I do.
In some people's eyes, this is just a dumb post made by an annoying girl. To me, this is me standing up for an idea many people agree with. |

| That is all I am asking. I'm not some annoying feminist asking for free hair, I am just asking for hair that is simple, like "shaggy" that is also fifty tix, like "shaggy". |

The hat should not look too bad, atleast the levels of shaggy. also blame the price floors for the reason why you cant get any of the hairs |

'It would lead to a more fun, more realistic game experience.'
You're taking virtual hair as if its the key to life. Not every girl on ROBLOX cares about getting girl hair. (I'm a girl too, you know.) You get free-Emphasis on free- pink hair, while boys have to pay 50 tix to get theirs. They get one hat that costs 50 tix, while girls don't have to pay a cent. How sexist! (Notice my sarcasm)
I think ROBLOX has better things to focus on than making girls happy by making a 50 tix girl hat that doesn't copy the Cinnamon/Black/Blonde hair, or looks any better than those 80 robux hats. (And let's not forget the blue hair that looks like the free pink hair, which you get for free.)

| @Roze you aren't supposed to bump threads that are over a month old. I support being able to choose our hair color when we start, though. That would be cool. |
