Square Enix: Please reconsider putting the Native American war bonnet attire in-game.

I don't care if you respect or disrespect a religion as long as you're applying the rules equally.

Nobody seems upset that a LOT of HW gear is clearly inspired by the sacred vestments of the Catholic Church. Why are you only upset about war bonnets? What makes you able to determine which religious clothing items are or aren't offensive to include? Do you think Catholics have never been oppressed?

This whole thing smells rank of hypocrisy and there's nothing I dislike more than virtue signalling hypocrites.

I have to wonder just how many of the people in this thread throwing accusations of "SWJism" would throw a hissy fit if they saw some 16-year-old kid wearing a full-on military combat uniform as a Halloween costume, or even just to "look cool".

I wouldn't care tbh. Who cares what a little kid is wearing? Who cares what someone in a fantasy video game is wearing? There are so many more important things in my life than worrying about others' fashion choices.

I am not upset about either. If you'd read my posts, you might have known that. I have no personal stake in either, and I don't think I have a right to say whether either should stay or go when I am not in either respective group. What I do think is that clothing of religious significance shouldn't be compared to a pair of pants or a fedora. You think the headdress is inoffensive? That's perfectly fine, but don't act like it's the same thing to Native Americans as a pair of sneakers is to a white person.
