I'm sorry to hear that you are frustrated, but really... people are going to make what they are inclined to make.  It is supposed to be an enjoyable hobby/career or whatever you are doing it for.  Otherwise, they are a great many other things that could be done with your time or other professions to choose where a boss can dictate what work you should do.

I've tried to do male content and "regular, normal" type clothes at one time and not only did it fail but it failed hard to where it wasn't worth the effort.  This was pre-Genesis, pre-Generation 4 and pretty much pre-DS too, so there weren't as many figures to choose from.  Maybe things would be different now?  No idea.  I kind of doubt it though.  Like I said, I occasionally make the attempt.

As far as the gobs of slutwear or whatnot, maybe it wouldn't be so saturated if it was made for different figures and not just the one -- "she that must not be named".  That's certainly not up to me though.  A big problem is a LONG cycle for the same figure generation.  If new figures aren't adopted, by the masses, every so many years, to allow a new cycle of content, this is what happens - that speaks more to "lets make more bikinis" than lack of male clothes though.

It's kind of OT, but I could do a dat for those figures that would allow them to be recognized and be eligible for partial conversions, at the very least.  I don't see reworking the entire thing for figures that are outdated, though (that's not a critique of the figures you choose, just that you'd be the only buyer and that's not really viable in lieu of the work).
