itseasytosee bb79c3859f Changes some default values from character creation and random characters (#84905)
## About The Pull Request
Departmental Backpacks are now the default instead of grey backpacks.
Jumpsuits are now default for all characters.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I think there is an issue with assuming that female characters should be
wearing jumpskirts by default.
Jump skirts are comedic. They are frivolous, completely unrealistic, and
with many of the sprites, overtly feminizing. By making them the default
for women, we are essentially saying: "Women by default should be
wearing clothes that extenuate their femininity, even at the cost of
practicality." Many of the jumpskirt sprites are very puffy and frilly.
This is despite the fact that jumpsuits are usually seen as agendered in
workplace settings, and feminine in the fashion industry.

There is nothing wrong with any given player wanting to put their
character in this kind of clothing, regardless of gender. However, by
asserting that women should be dressed in frivolous and feminizing
attire, I believe this to be a form of objectification, and not
something we should promote.

I have not changed the ability to set your preference to jumpskirt
should you desire. I have not altered the presence of jumpskirts
anywhere on the map.
