I mean⊠I understand not wanting the option for void elves to have natural hair color, but how exactly would the option to have natural hair colors suppress your ability to be a âvoidy tentacle gothâ?

Because itâs the only voidy tentacle goth thing remaining of their identity. Give them blonde hair and theyâre just basic blood elves.
But that doesnât take away your option to be a voidy tentacle goth.
More options for everyone doesnât mean less options for you.

Iâm not talking about me, I donât even play Alliance anymore. Iâm talking about race identity.
Point still stands. The ability for some people to chose to not be a voidy tentacle goth would not remove the option for other people to be a voidy tentacle goth.

No it doesnât, you gotta stop thinking about individual individual needs if you want to understand it.
I do understand peopleâs arguments about race identity and all the other ones. Itâs just the argument that adding options to not be a voidy tentacle goth suppresses the options for other people to be voidy tentacle goths that makes literally zero sense.
1 does not suppress the other. More options here doesnât mean less options there.

No, it doesnât and thatâs not what I said.
Suit yourself, youâre still not getting bootleg high elves. 
So you didnât say
Oh wait.
Keywords are important.
Itâs race identity and you first need to understand that in order to move forward with the discussion. If you look at a void elf the only thing that differentiates it from a blood elf is the hair, you take that away (yes, youâre taking it away by choosing blonde) and there is no way to tell apart one from the other.
P.S. No Patrick, not from a gameplay perspective. I am aware enemies glow red.

Put a helmet on a void elf and a blood elf that covers the hair, and put them in a non-faction specific mogs and stand them next to each other. Then tell me which is which.
I mean, if the 1 thing that separates them visually, if the void elf choses a non-void skin tone, can be negated by wearing a helmet, itâs not really much a of a distinction.

Well, put a helmet on yours and pretend sheâs blonde. 
But that would give her a bad case of helmet hair. Also sheâs clearly not a blone.

Actually it does when you look at the petition from a professional PoV⊠those ânon Voidâ options means less resources spent in âmore voidâ options⊠and regarding this particular petition, those âspent resourcesâ come with the aggravant they infring upon the visual model of another âproductâ A.K.A. the Belf playable model. Blizzard does NOT have infinite resources -and we got to know corroborate that precisely with their: "no moar customizations for SL and maybe in the future. That meant they donÂŽt have the time to âwasteâ in our Barbie models and that the graphic artists are needed elsewhere, period-, ergo they have to be VERY efficient when they make this implementations.
Literally cloning the hair styles and the colors on Velves put an additional strain on the art team cause then not only will they have to work overtime to make the Belf playable model once again âuniqueâ in some way, they also will have to take into account players fans from the other races demanding the same âshared aestheticsâ between their fav races and itÂŽs allied counterparts (Orc fans demsnding to get brown skins on their regular Orc model cause you know⊠if Velves could then Orcs can and so on and so fort).

First 9 posts alone were opposing this idea. I think most is an overstatement.
