New gearsets preview is a disappointment

[BigCheez]

honestly sometime I do because I am on the throne at work so bored as hell xx)

Sure, but you have 700 posts so I assume you actually use the forums. I refuse to believe that 100 sub-5 post accounts just happened to decide that this was problematic at the exact same time.

Bruh, you literally brought up the lineage thing. You open with purity test nonsense about roots and ancestry.

How many of you claiming these are harmless can trace your roots? How many of you downplaying the upset actually care about your indigenous ancestry? Have you cared about it aside from using it to weaponize it against arguments online? Would your people claim you?

You keep saying I’m defending colonization just because I don’t agree with your take on a fantasy armor set. That’s not nuance that’s moral gatekeeping.

And if you’re going to drop cryptic phrases to mock people, maybe explain what they actually mean instead of using them as some kind of spiritual mic drop.

“ai’ipa ware, lmao.”
Translation: “I have no actual argument, so here’s a mysterious phrase and a laugh emoji.”

Also don’t shift the goalposts.

You accused me of being disconnected from my ancestry, I pushed back, now you’re denying you ever made it about ancestry at all, while still implying I betray my ancestors for not agreeing with your take.

love the quotes king but you're missing a crucial point
connection =/= blood quantum. connection =/= purity. connection is making an effort to learn, be involved in your community. caring about your ancestry is not "blood purity". connection is who claims you. we're having 2 completely different conversations here, and for the record, i'm not using "cryptic phrases to mock people". i'd actually appreciate if you wouldn't equate my language to that, Oh Great Indigenous Man Of Complex Lineage Online from El Salvador. let me also remind you that you replied to my post and now you're saying i'm accusing you. pick a struggle.

i said, "goodnight, my friend. lmao." i'll say it again in english for you. goodnight, my friend.

Oh we’re absolutely having different conversations.

You’re framing this as a discussion about “connection,” but you’ve spent most of your replies talking down to me, mocking my background, and implying that unless someone fits your mold of engagement, they’re not valid. That’s not a dialogue, it’s gatekeeping.

You may not have used the phrase “blood purity,” but the subtext of who gets to speak and who doesn’t based on who “claims” them creates the same exclusionary dynamic.

As for “ai’ipa ware,” your tone and the “lmao” made your intent clear. But thanks for clarifying after the fact.

Anyway, goodnight to you too.

Hi. Indigenous woman here. As I said in the other thread, everything I would wish to say has been said already. We're putting pressure on you, Square Enix, in hopes you do better. Please look to the people you wish to represent for guidance on these matters.

I do when bored not gonna lie but mostly when I am on the throne. now being a exception because of how easily people are actually offended and break the forum ToS to speak xx)

[TantalusTroupe]

just tagging onto this thread as well to make sure my support of changing it is known. post count shouldn't really matter-- a lot of people are rightfully upset by this matter, and have the right to bring it up to the dev team when this is the best way of getting it in front of their eyes.

[Nero-Voidstails]

I finally seen it! holy cow that site need to be better then that omg! but honestly it isn't that bad ya wouldnt wear the full set but it isn't to bad
