Pride Capes for Pride Month?
Do u think the devs will add LGBTQ+ and BiPoC capes for Pride Month? Last month was Black History month and I was appalled when they didn't do anything to show solidarity.

And, by the same logic, the fist used by BLM is an obvious reference to wife beating, which Islam is stereotypically known for, and therefore makes it pretty clear the two are intrinsically intertwined.

OR it is ridiculous to make such comparisons based on trivial, surface-level similarities because it opens the floodgates to fundamentally discriminatory comparisons.

You choose.

Actually, a closed fist is also symbolic worker and class solidarity; essentially meaning to disregard the differences that the bourgeoisie use to divide the proletariat.

I think in futuristic world that we can see in Helldivers 2 people have better things to be proud of than sticking penises in other mans butt.
I think the way Super Earth would celebrate Pride Month as you understand it would be privilage for LGBTQ+ people to be drafted instantly.

So your logic is suggesting that BLM AND the working class are intrinsically linked to islamic terrorism?

And you don't see the issue with that?

Just play the darn game and be happy. No need for it.

That’s not what I’m saying, and I don’t think any objective person would think that’s what I said either. I’m simply saying that much of the symbolism / colors used in that particular cape are similar to what is used for AA culture. Of course, other groups may use similar symbolism / colors but that’s not what the cape was made in reference to.

The closed fist btw was popular in the early 1900s in the U.S. for workers rights as well. ISIS didn’t exist until 2010s so it’s stupid to claim there any link here.

And I'm pointing out ways in which that same, basic logic can be applied to other, less desirable comparisons.

Either the logic applies to all, or it applies to none. You can't pick and choose what it applies to based on your own, personal preferences.

If that’s the case you shouldn’t have any objection to a rainbow flag cape added in June since although it’s most likely referencing pride month it might also be referencing light refraction, lucky charm cereal, or something else entirely.

How can I take issue with something that will never happen?
