This is how the uniform event should have gone.

"I realize that this may be difficult for low-IQ bottom-feeders to understand, but there's only one way... To stem the tide of rampant debauchery under the guise of freedom. And that way is... New school rules!
A new standardized uniform! A new ideology! Examplary behavior! Civil minds! Disciplined bodies! That which holds... The essence of true beauty!"
No apologies, no niceness, it should have been something big and interesting for the students to be stuck getting involved with whether they cared or not. I'm still kinda pissed at how the PCA community responded to that event, honestly... And how it wound up never going anywhere until the administration was given the forced boot. So much for having people DO SOMETHING with their characters to effect the setting as a whole. =/
Honestly though, I think the biggest problem stemmed from the simple fact that people were so full of butthurt and baww over it all. Nobody really drew or wrote about their characters in-class so honestly it didn't effect artistic creativity in the slightest unless the participants went out of their way to make it do so. Yet that was exactly what the spearheads of the groups against the event said it was doing. And it was stated to be an event to begin with, not a permanent change. But people flipped their shit, they kicked, they whined, they made spinoffs that just kind of crashed and died while focusing on specific details that made it all oh-so-obviously furry... (Seriously, people need to know what the principal's dick looks like and its precise dimensions?)
Honestly I think that reaction is a big part of why the PCA admins of the time suddenly stopped doing... Anything. Why things ground to a halt. Because they were afraid of people flipping out, like what tends to happen at every little thing. The funny part was people accusing the event of being something that never would have happened had EbonyLeopard still been in charge, but if I remember correctly the event was largely his idea and had his full support. He even wanted to design the school uniforms. ... In fact I think he did. But it's been a while.
In short, I wish people weren't such little bitches and we could actually DO things with the setting again. Here's to hoping that in the future any events the current admins might throw out don't get so pointlessly assaulted. Or even that if they do, the admins can suck it the hell up and still do things and make things progress for those of us who want to do more than kick at the ground and scream.
EDIT: Ah-ha... So far I've gotten two "high rollers" contacting me agreeing with this, who apparently don't feel comfortable posting here for one reason or another. Probably all about potential for drama with things like how blunt I got in my wording some places. Oh well, least I know I'm not the only person thinking this.

On the other hand, the problem with that event was an intrinsic flaw in the PCA: the fact that it was a private school. No one participating had ever gone to a private school. They didn't care about prestige, they wanted ninja high school. The participants reacted as they would if uniforms were introduced to a public high school. The fact is, the PCA should have had uniforms in the first place, from day one. So you can blame Ebony for that. :V
I'm kind of drunk, did that make sense?
