Why does everyone hate flashies?

  Both of my favorite outfits have flashy dyes on them. One i wear all the time and one I wear when I am trying to look nice. However, i only do blue flashies or blue to purple flashies so mine are a lot easier on the eyes then most I have been seeing lately.

  I hate the ones that are like rapidly flashy. Its like having a strobe light party of rainbows. It also goes for having too many flashy's on one piece of clothing. This video pretty much sums up my experience.

  This is exactly what I am constantly screaming in my head whenever I see those rapid flashies. :(
  Hope they fall out of style.
  Also, nice Margaret siggy. :D

  I think that's why many go for that pure red option. More or less the same with pure black if they combo said red with it.
  
  The problem is that flashies as a whole are easily and heavily abused. A lot, if not, most people tend to have them applied onto huge areas of gear that cover a big portion of their character or even all over it for either showing off their luxury e-peen or to troll others by having their eyes drawn to the cycle of colors whether they like to or not. I really question how the people wearing the items themselves can stand all that on their own character for hours on end.
  
  I find flashies to be used best as an enhancer to small accents on an item, and even then there's very few items I found so far that could make good use of it before it becomes potentially annoying. As of typing this post, the only thing I've ever used a flashy dye on was a fast, yet subtle gray to indigo-ish dye on the stars of a pumpkin bat umbrella to give the stars a "twinkling in the night sky" effect. As for good uses of flashies I've seen on others, I could count the number of notable ones I've came across on one hand.
  
  For all this time it and all the complaints have existed, I'm surprised there hasn't been an option to set the visibility of flashy gear and items between all characters, only your party members, and only yourself like with what was given to music performances recently.

  
  
  
  Oh my god, I would LOVE that kind of option. It would also make the game possibly playable by those sensitive to such horrific flashing lights(not sure 100% since there's still stuff like lightning, skills, etc). :(
  
  I think the only item I have that could possibly work with flashy dyes is the ones with the barely-visible tiny tiny single gem, such as Shamaness outfit how it has a super tiny... thing. xD
  Though, even with that I would rather just have it something neutral like white, black, grey, or even brown.
  If I had one of those big sunglasses/shade things(not sure what they're called but they look kind of like sci-fi visors), they might work if they're color-coordinated, not rapid, and worn with a modern/futuristic-style outfit like Vocaloid outfits.
