    As someone who has developed an interest in Soviet/WW2 history over the last year or so I can kinda see where you are coming from? However, I would argue that the gear we have is appropate enough, with shades of such fashion but embedded in its own fantasy style. If anything I would much rather we see future Garlean fashion that leans more into their magitek side. Honestly the Soviet comparisons really did not flower until we travelled to Garlemald and EW I feel, and even then it was more evocative then a direct couterpart.

    I do find it interesting when those who have previously said they dislike politics in video games are supportive of things like this as… well, this is far more political then someones gender I would say.

    Can you blame them? You are flying a bit close to the sun here even for you. Whilst the Soviets from WW2 may be a far cry from the fascists in power now, they are currently engaged in a horrific war. Plus I have seen in other fandoms certain people cry for such military outfits, but to be used for less savoury means. Sexy cat ladies is a far cry from the horrible types of roleplay I have seen people wish to recreate with ‘militaristic’ gear, no matter the source.
