New gearsets preview is a disappointment

Please find a hobby or some sort of useful pastime to keep you occupied that isn't participating in a Twitter hugbox looking for reasons to clutch your pearls.

So it would be totally okay to have a nazi-inspired outfit with the red arm band and all, just because it is something that happened in the past?
There is a line. You know this just as well as anyone else here does. You're being disingenuous. Just admit that you don't care about this particular group of people hurt by the imagery.

Comparing the inquisitions to nazi germany is a fucked up and racist take. Also, this looks nothing like inquisition attire. So you're completely in the wrong and unhinged.

Sorry but the human sacrifices WILL stop.

What are you on about?

Given the set doesn't really look much like Spanish Conquistadores, but apparently there was enough inspiration to get people in this thread hot and bothered, SE succeeded in the "significantly altered" criteria. The Deathservant looks more like a straight-across import from Aztec ritual knives than these do anything from real-life. The fending hats look more like metal pith helmets to me, and maaaybe the one kind of evokes a French Musketeer, but that's about it.

Alright nitpick all the historical procedences, despite the colonization of ,mexico at least, lasting 300 years. The Alexandria that makes contact with Tural doesn't use the european aesthetics. If the devs made such a good job at making their game setting have so much sense then why on earth am I seeing euro- whatever the hell that is and not cyberaztec?

HEY GUYS, TURNS OUT THIS THREAD IS A BUNCH OF INTERNET WHITEKNIGHTS SENT OVER FROM BLUESKY https://bsky.app/profile/ramyeonguks.../3lu6aqg3fa22p. Most people here know nothing about the inquisition and are bandwagoning around a social media post. Disgusting.

Uhm. The Inquisition occurred in Europe, by Europeans against (mostly) Europeans. The European genocide of the indigenous people of the Americas killed an order of magnitude more people than the Holocaust.

Regardless, this looks nothing like conquistador attire so whats your point? This clearly looks NOTHING like what conquistadors wore yet here you are, posting about a game you don't even play.

Bluesky quickly becoming as big of a cesspool as Twitter.

We might be if any of the sets looked remotely like anything worn by a conquistador.

We don't need to measure the dimensions of the helmets to recognize they're rather obviously European.
