Better privacy for user outfits

[Visuile]

This is a non-issue, especially when you realize that user outfits are meant to be worn on your avatar (which WILL be shown in-game and on the website), and are not a thing that’s meant to collect dust in the avatar creator forever. They simply provide an avenue to quickly equip a user-created preset of items and colors onto your avatar, and nothing more.
The problem at it’s core can be easily solved by not creating avatars that would garner any unwanted attention in the first place.

Thinking that hiding outfits from users will not solve “harassment” is extremely illogical when you consider the idea that the moment they equip the outfit on their avatar, all of the effort put into such a small change that does nothing but hurt more users than help gets thrown into the garbage can.

Along with myself, there are thousands of users on Roblox who use outfit viewers as a way to further customize their avatar and create unique outfits or accurately recreate iconic or otherwise appealing sets of items worn by others. This change would be extremely detrimental to my efforts and my game’s development, as it’d become impossible to view the outfits of banned users (especially those from 2011-2015).

Wanted to add this on as a reply.

A couple of months ago, an alleged groomer copied one of my old outfits and was impersonating me. Their information is blurred out because I prefer to not involve myself in such drama and it could be damaging to ones reputation, but this still makes me uncomfortable.

While an argument could be made that they could copy whatever I’m wearing, this issue wouldn’t have arisen if I could hide my outfits from the public. It’s not only an easy target of harassment online, but it isn’t a feature that gives off any indication that others can see it.

I hope for either better privacy tools to combat this, or for Roblox to state on the page that outfits are public, and can be viewed / accessed by anyone in-game.

This however, would affect many outfit viewer & avatar editor experiences, so it’d probably be the best of both worlds to require outfit games to access your inventory to view your outfits. Many of them request it regardless to load your items.
