Far Northern Attire

Apparently the following article was posted today, which rather than linking, I will provide a screenshot of, as I do not believe the outlet in question deserves any more views than they may have already gotten:



Needless to say, I find the assertion that these people can claim "rights" over an outfit ridiculous. SE should feel free to design and create whatever they wish without pressure from activist groups like this one, who are doing little more than throwing a tantrum over matters that largely do not concern them.

I do not wish to see the Far Northern Attire removed or altered as a result of whatever this "group" has to say. My position with this and other outfits that have been released over the years is unchanging as ever.

It's just an outfit. Deal with it.

Why isn't this seen as a way to promote a relatively unknown culture instead?

That doesn't change the fact that them trying to get this outfit removed is ridiculous. If they feel upset, so be it. As far as I'm concerned if they are privileged enough to cry over video game outfits and Frozen of all things then they aren't oppressed in the slightest. They ought to have picked their battles more wisely.

I draw your attention to the portion of the article that states they have an agreement with Disney Animation. THAT changes everything.

And? Disney also should not be letting themselves be strong-armed by a bunch of grifting activists either.

this reminds me back in the day when Nintendo had to remove the chanting from Fire temple in ocarina of time , for the same reason , cultural issues....
sadly is nothing new and MIGHT happen

My point being that if they have an agreement in place with Disney perhaps their stance is from a legal standpoint.

The Sami people culturally appropriated the English Language to complain.

Having an agreement with Disney means that they [the Saami council] have an agreement with Disney. Their agreement means nothing to SE because this set does not involve Disney copyright.


Imagine if Mexico tried to get SE to pay them for Noctis wearing a mariachi outfit lol
