Uhm, it's a hood... I wanna meet the people "outraged" over a hood. They must be great at parties. We might as well get rid of swastikas (Buddhist) and the Celtic cross too because NaZiS bAd.
If you WANT to see racism everywhere, then you WILL see racism everywhere.
I feel like trying to make a white hood look not like... you know... is a pretty doomed endeavour but the band does help a tiny bit I guess.Also the people getting mad that Blizzard are doing the bare minimum to avoid having klan iconography in their game should probably calm down a bit.
"... peaked hats aren't exactly unique to the hate group either, and other color tints seen below do at least help avoid the resemblance."It's not a hat... it's a hood. And, yes, just like other symbols stolen and appropriated by hate groups, a pointed face covering hood has been taboo since like 1865. Also, author, do you not know that there are different colors of the klan uniform? They have ranks? Colors indicate ranks? <insert Jackie Chan confused meme>
Good thing we have transmogs.
When I first read about the hat a while back I thought people were complaining about it cause it looks like a priest tier.
All these sets look terrible.
The fact that women in art within the game were turned into fruit, yet here the solution is a black stripe seems wildly inconsistent.. at least its great to know that blizzard hasn't changed whatsoever :)
Amen Brother! That's the main problem with this set! Some people should think about a thing... If you see rascism everywhere... maybe YOU are the Rascist and not the people you see as such while the did/desgined/ things without rascistic intentions!
I get the similarities of a Klan hood but when looking at the warlock tier set (before this post) not once did it appear to me the slight similarity. Begs the question do some people just look for hate and bigotry in anything and everything they see or read?
Remember Warlock Tier 17 that nobody cared about at the time? Which also resembled a certain group if you felt really picky? Pepperidge farm remembers.
Im glad they didnt changed the facemask. Well, when people started to talk about the view from the back, my first impression was an Maltael look a like. He has the same look from back view. I guess the problem was whit the white.
agree
Glad they kept the hood pointy, so I can still continue my plans to create a guild called the Kool Kids Klan where wearing this hood will be mandatory :P
yeah no, that didn't change anything. Was it really the lack of a stripe on the back of the helm that people took offense to?Who is steering this ship and why haven't they been pulled over.
Change the color. This isn't much of an improvement. White with Red like this is so bad. You've missed the mark again.
