    That’s kind of still an issue area then though. Like if the default uniform is a sexy one, then any girl asking for the modest one is seen as being a troublemaker or causing inconvenience maybe so she feels pressured to go with the flow.

      Can’t keep everyone happy with everything all the time. Its up to the rest of the team to make people feel comfortable choosing between the two uniform types. If they don’t, then thats a shitty team.
