There is no more reason used by you than your oposites though. Being well travelled doesn’t give you the general answer to how things should be done. Plenty of people are open minded about these things. We recently had a “debate” here in norway regarding our sami culture, which was both used in Frozen and in FF14. Some of the sami people demanded SquareEnix took out the details that they felt refered to them. Other sami were honored by it. Meanwhile someone in america was offended that Disney made the sami guy in Frozen white, because he was sami, so should be dark skinned…(?!).
My point is, everyone has their own opinion on it, regardless of their background, and we need to find a balance.
They should honestly not be. At least not within the context of a videogame.
I am not talking about going irl and roasting an Easter lamb on a spit in the middle of a community undergoing Ramadan fasting, that would rightfully earn the ire of others.
If for example, I was playing a videogame that was made in India and was full of indian culture, I would never consider that it somehow clashes with my own celebrations in one way or another.
PS: Now that I think about it, it would had been really neat if we could have a game focusing on Indian mythology
A person would have to be incredibly self centered and naive to be offended that different countries and cultures can have festive activities at the same time as others. I have never heard of anything remotely close to this happening. Likely because no one even vaguely reasonable would be irritated by such a thing.
Sadly this is exactly the thought process that the USA Academia is propagating and seems to also be infecting Europe, starting from the western side first.
“Everyone must look how I want them to look! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
There is so much gear in the game that I downright hate. I usually don’t like flashy gear and I honestly think some people who try to look as flashy as possible end up looking like an ill-conceived Xmas tree. But I recognise that this is but a difference of personal taste, that even if I dislike someone’s mog that player is just having fun with it. It’s harmless. So I don’t try to fight against seeing overly flashy mogs. At most I request more undersated gear for people like me to enjoy.
And then you have the sort of people who try to argue that rabbit ears belong to religion.
I just do not understand the restriction.
If its to block “silly” transmogs - they’ve already failed.
Seen plenty of those, made a few myself.
Just let people have fun and be creative!
