Quote - I think we need a forum for product reviews where negativity is allowed and buying the product is not necessarily a requirement. Perhaps it could be anonymous somehow. Each product released would get it's own thread, and when some thoughtless merchant releases another "thigh-high boots, skirt, vented tank-top" clothing pack, keen observers of the market can say "Really??? No, REALLY???" and maybe even post pics and links of past items which are the same thing or something that could easily have been made by using transmaps of something already existing.
An element of being called out...a gentle public shaming. I know that as a society we've moved away from the possibility of shame and discomfort as a motivator to do better, maybe it's time to bring it back? Ultimately it's up to people not to buy the same thing repeatedly, but in a world without repercussions merchants are free to goad the situation.
Like a poll system maybe?
