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

Honestly, i find this thread very pointless, why?

Because the only people that are allowed to take offense to this item are the natives themselves, if they have not raised any objections about, then none of you here are allowed to say otherwise. Just because it seems offensive to you doesn't mean it is offensive to the native people themselves.

We have to remember something else, this is a GAME!!! It's not making fun of any racial steriotypes, religion and etc. I read here someone speak of the Thavanarian outfit and everyone dismissed it, and that is a very good example! It's based on Arabic/Persian clothing but because everyone thinks it's cute and shows belly it's ok and should be dismissed from this subject?

They implemented these outfits to show that they want every kind of people to feel at home in FF14 and now they are trying to reach for the natives, showing that they can come to this game and have their characters dress with native oufits.

To sumarize : If you are not native, you are not allowed to complain about this outfit.

This is why our world doesn't evolve, because we are not treating each other equally, and instead we try to find offensive things to complain about.

Like iv said, I think what has people upset is that the argument implies that if you don't think it wrong, then you must be racist yourself. And so they are responding in aggressive defense.

Now I myself do not find it racist. As I said in my first post on the thread "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" The only thing I can think of that would make offensive, is if the tied it with the Golden Saucer. To make like an Indian Casino reference.

But this outfit being offensive or not should still be able to be discussed in respectful ways.
