When I click on skins on PMC, i'll guarantee that at least eight of the skins are girls. I think that this is pretty annoying. I just think there are too many of them. I'm not saying they're bad, because some are really good. If you can, answer my poll and comment what you think.

While I voted for "Too many girl skins", that's not entirely true to how I think.
I feel like there's too many girl skins that look exactly the same.
Just palette swaps of the same skin over and over.
A lot of the same clothes, the same exact shading, same hair shapes, same eyes.
Same shading on the eyes.
I'm sure you could probably say that about male skins as well, but this topic is about girl skins.

When it comes to skins in general, for a community based on a game about creativity and building whatever you want, we're not that creative with the skins we make or use.
Maybe I should post my joke skin that reimagines default Steve in a hoodie with headphones.

^ This. I came on the other day after not really looking at anything other than the forum for a while. I went through the popular reel in the skins section and guess what? Only one of those wasn't one of these garddang skins. I agree with MysticJhn, they all look the same, only with a change of palette and maybe a different hairstyle. Not offence to any skin makers, but perhaps some originality and creativity is due? Take Kefka for example. A great skinner, and all his stuff is more or less different.

Lokiwhether or not you like them is your own problem.

Well said. You can't just get rid of something because you don't like it. If other people still like it, then jut ignore its existence. It's actually that simple.

I can totally agree that there are quite a bunch of girl skins, but the thing is - boy skins are quite hard to make and design, especially to find a new way of creativity for them. The only way you could go is with the current ones, and trying to create new ones is like trying to recreate earth (exaggeration).

Off-topic spoiler:

I've got to personally say that I don't really like the detailed stuff on the girl skins today, and putting too much on the boys make it look like they've been rolling around in dirt and having a cow laundry machine. I mostly dislike anime, but that's just my opinion. I think the best of skins are the simplistic ones that don't look the worse.


Summary:
- I agree that there are too many girl skins.
- Boy skins are hard to make

I understand why people like girl skins, they like all the nice long hair with the female fashion designs and with male skins you can't be as creative I guess. I do wish there were more male skins though

That's not true.
The reason is, that males like to use their imagination to create females, and at the same time, females like creating female skins. So everyone is making female skins.

There's definitely more girl skins than guy skins. I'm not sure why, personally I feel like girl skins are harder to make (mostly because of the hair). I think most of my skins are guy skins.

What I think is more annoying is the lack of variety. Most of the popreel skins look the same, just different colours. They don't look bad but it does get boring to see over and over again.

Which is weird, because I don't know anyone weird enough to actually wear headphones outside.

It might be that the format for a boy skin is easy, but making it interesting is a whole other ballgame. Girls have so many more options for hair styles, clothing, and accessories. With guys, they just throw on a hoodie, black pants, sneakers, and headphones then it's done. That's all they put. Not saying everyone does it, but I'm saying the trend is very popular. Plus, you can't really get creative with the hair or else it just ends up looking weird. But hey, there's always room for improvement in the skinning trade.

He's just to lazy to make them or request them so he wants every1 to make only boy skins so he can have his way. Come on, boy skins are much easier than girl skins. Most of the boy skins have short hair and girl skins have long hair.Hair and clothes are the hardest part so making a boy skin isn't hart at all.

why does it matter what gender the skin is .-. as long as it's good, there's no reason to be annoyed. also, i thought you should know that i just checked, and there are 707,798 male skins and only 226,003 female skins. stop saying there's too many, it's frustrating and a little bit rude. people work hard on most of these skins, you should appreciate them no matter what gender they are :/

oh, hey, if u think there's too many girl skins, just look at the "recent skins" section. I'm pretty sure you'll find at least 3 boy skins there for you to have if you are a boy.

It's just the girl skins that are most popular because I guess more girls change thier skins in mc (or boys that wear girl skins)

Want more boy skins? make them yourself.

I disagree. There are not to many girl skins, and if there is it's because that girls are usually the ones making them. A lot of people like girl skins, even some boys. In fact, I'm a girl but I'd rather have a boy skin. Why? Because I like them. I like girl skins, but most are to girly. I've been making my own skins and I have posted 3 boy skins on my skindex account (GabbCme) and I'm probably going to play as them later on. The point is that some people like boy skins while some people like girls skins no matter what gender they are.

Well, yeah, there're too much, but we can fix that, okay?
Girl skins are just easy to make. Boy skins too, if you think they're hard, I think you're seeing "hard" the wrong way. You just shorten the hair and remove some of the eyelashes and then you'll get a guy skin or something.

I mean like, seriously. I don't get your point of "Oooh, boy skins are hard to make"
... I know I don't make guy skins that often but I do, well, I used to when I stopped skinning that much.

And yeah, the amount of girl skins are a lot here. But I think it's an okay amount.

I agree so much with this lmao like how on earth would a boy be harder to skin than a girl? I think it's just people being unwilling to push themselves out of their comfort zones- thus we get this repetitive similar girl skin being produced every time. But I guess that's easier too as their subscribers ofc like it so why change?

In the end people are just making what their subscribers like, even if it means they never improve on their content. But that's just my opinion

Well yes there are too many girls skins BUT they are high quality and good.
And I checked that if you seperate the category there are about 700,000 male skins and 200,000 girl skins.
So basically there are many boy skins but some are not that very good or unique in a way. (Sorry if I offended anyone)
And this can't be change as people just post what they want and normally it is a female skin and I think that I am completely satisfied because there are still many male skins too choose from and more to come.
But yes Female skins are way too much.
But they are atleast high quality and good!

whoa I forgot I ever even voted on this thread,

although statistically yes there are more boy skins I think there are less decent male skins out there (especially on the reel at the moment) I rarely ever see boy skins there now a days. Boy skins I mostly see tend to be the classic ones that have just been recoloured a thousand times (ya know the headphones, emo fringe, checkered shirt).

Also a lot of people are making boy skins that aren't really all that masculine either (sorry if I offend anyone by using that as an adjective) - but yeah I think a lot of the girl skins at the moment look too similar but what can I do about that I guess, people make what they like...

You act like you know what they enjoy? They could be making duplicate/noncreative skins for views and popularity, not because they enjoy it (and I bet a vast amount of them are, in fact).

And by the way, regarding your first post you said "make a difference not comment on this thread" or something. Commenting on this thread is making a difference, it's brought attention to the problem.

When, may I ask, has ANYTHING been fixed or changed without people commenting on it or supporting it? it's simply not possible. There's no way to solve a problem without first notifying people of the problem

Commenting on this thread is not making even the slightest of difference. Believe me, there have been threads like these popping up everywhere since I joined PMC two years ago, and most likely before. The majority of them just turn into flame wars and get locked. The only thing that comes of it is further tension between skinners.
Although, your point is still valid. This thread exists for people to voice their opinion, not to do anything about it. Genos can't tell you to "not comment on this thread" just because you hold a particular view. It's like how most people believe, for example, ebola is a bad thing, but don't attempt to find the cure or make donations to those who are. They're still allowed to dislike ebola.

Many people and myself have the same opinion on this I believe (Read through the whole thing....) We are all sick of the same thing when it comes to girls skins. I am actully going to support this though. All of the sking bellow are from different people on the first page of most popular.

There is more examples just on the first page...
But as you can see a overwhelming amount of almost identical skins, even ones of different categories like hoodie or not. Actually looking at the amount of skins 214,112 was female and 696,399 were male. However, on the first few pages of male there was almost no skins that were even close to identical. Heck, even the Link (As example) skins were vastly different. On the other hand, while searching Pikachu we found the same issue I was talking about...
