Far Northern Attire

Does "no mention of the culture, just passing off the outfit as an original product to sell" count as a positive way?

I think it would feel different if they had incorporated some kind of far northern tribe into the game and this was their clothing, but when we've seen no sign of them except this costume, it just seems like an odd choice even before you get to debating the ethics of it. (And that goes for other real-world cultural costumes as well, IMO.)

I mean this is a weird take to me. Why would you need to add tribes of people into the story just to have an outfit? They’d probably be even more outraged. “Oh the tribe acts like this or said this or was used too much or too little”. I don’t know why you think this is needed for an outfit lol.

I'm not sure what the best approach is, but I do think it is not a good approach to put in a real-world culture's clothing with no in-game context, doubly so if there is no specific need to use that exact culture's clothing where something else more unique would work just as well.

As an Indian, when I saw the Star Himation casting top I definitely wasn't miffed they didn't add an entire India-themed quest chain over it TBF.

They added a Dirndl and Lederhosen and now they better add an Oktoberfest to go with it or I'll angrily throw beer, bread and potatos at them.
Let's make it a seasonal event.
