You know it’s funny, i was talking to two friends about this last night. About QOL in general about Vanilla WoW and it brought up the topic, and i’ll be honest here it really isn’t Black and White when it comes down to this, Mind you i’m firmly no changes and all.
But, my friend recently started wearing High heels, and she hates em while my other friend doesn’t mind em at all, and this was sorta about QOL in IRL.
But both friends quit around Mop / Wodish, but she was complaining the fact that it’s just a lot harder to do certain things in em. One interesting thing i found out that there is actually a Highheel with a Swiss army knife built into it, so i just recommended it to her, and let’s be honest, a Swiss army knife is hell of friend to have around especially when you’re just going out.
It was odd how she thought how insane it was to have say… These QOL changes to her shoe, but my other friend totally agreed and was a bit taken aback by how rash she was.
I mean, It’s never bad to have a bottle / can opener on hand or a letter opener etc. Even i found it weird, i suppose it’s because i just take a lot of it for granted being able to have a clip on for your belt etc. I suppose woman normally don’t really have that so it would be a pretty cool change you know? But my friend was just not having it, she was just going off on the two of us, and for the life of me i couldn’t understand why.
Anyway, as the night went on, she left and my other friend just kept shooting idea’s back and forth, and that’s when it hit me. It wasn’t the fact that it’s a change, it’s the fact that it goes against the integrity or the ideal of the shoe.
Sure it would be grand to have say a cork opener on your foot, but that’s just not what it was made for, funny how look at the small things irl help you see that things are fully gray. I always thought people who came in here asking for changes where trolls or ignorant on what classic was, but no they’re just like how i was when it came to high heels.
I hope this story helps people from both sides understand how #Prochangers and #Nochangers shouldn’t insult or bash heads, but debate with each other. Because let’s be honest, if you could have a philipshead on your high heels and still look classy without hurting the integrity of the shoe… I’m sure you would.
