Add a Head/Helmet category for head-replacing/covering accessories

I think “hats” like these shouldn’t be in the hat category, because they stop being hats when they completely cover up and effectively replace the head. Open helmets and other head-covering hats can go into a helmet category, as long as they at least show a little bit of the head or take the head into account in their mesh. The “masks” and heads shouldn’t be considered hats though.

If I were to allow players to keep some of their accessories on a custom character, I wouldn’t be able to differentiate between these huge monstrosities and normal baseball caps.

This change will expose the mistake of making most of these heads and masks way too big.

Not necessarily looking forward to moving accessories out of the “Hat” category until ROBLOX resolves not being able to combine accessories into the outfit you want, but once that is resolved it would be really nice for distinguishing types of accessories.

can’t accuse vis of not doing his homework
