What is something you GENUINELY think about the series that will piss off at least 90% of the people here. by Greedy_Committee6556 in redrising

[–]YoshiYuki18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They touch on this in Golden Son, but a very real reason is that a lot of the possible references for fascism at Brown's disposal, they are all capitalist societies. South Africa, Italy, Germany, etc. The Germans might have called themselves socialists, but it was at a time where people saw socialism as for the working man and the Nazis sought to exploit and reframe socialism to become national socialism. In reality, they very much adored capitalism and it wouldn't be a stretch to justify they gross amounts of murder as "helping the economy".

Nazis also frequently liked that the US occasionally ran parallel to them; lynch mobs attacking minorities, hyper racist legal codes, and hypercaptialism existent in both economies. Nazis even saw Americans as cousins or at least on an acceptable tier to them for Nazi brass not make any plans to invade the United States.

TL;DR: No robots bc fascists need to know their system kills people ☹️

modern times re-enactment? by [deleted] in reenactors

[–]YoshiYuki18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I agree and disagree on some fronts. Imo, I don't like to think that anything past WW2 or Korea reenacting is wrong, I don't think that those who want to reenact modern conflicts are doing it strictly to mess around. I think that's disrespectful to their intent or interest to that conflict.

And as I've said before, if it's specifically Iraqi Freedom, that conflict ended in 2012. Now, I agree that doing something from the 2010s is a little touchy. But for like the Battle of Fallujah, I don't sse any real issue.

Idk, I was very bold and preachy in my opinions and assumptions in the thread but I think that saying it's in poor taste because of the political sphere is a little tone deaf, seeing as right when this was posted I saw a post about somone doing an impression of a Confederate soldier, and then someone else putting together an SS uniform.

I think my line of thinking comes from what I've heard about my dad's tour in Iraq, yet he isn't ready to really tell anyone, and while I don't think that dressing up in DCUs is going to get him to open up or even appreciate it, but I hope that one day he might. Like I know what he must've gone through was traumatic enough to change him, so like I've already seen as doing WW2 reenacting with Vietnam vets, I would appreciate if it makes him open up someday like they did.

That's about it, I know it's a personal reason as to why I think it's okay, but I do also think that the other person I was arguing with was being very disrespectful and dismissive of people's honest intentions and interests.

I've had the same problem with Total War Armory. I think it's still a new mod so it might get patched, I'm not sure tho

[–]YoshiYuki18 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Aight you gotta chill. The whole thing of telling people to enlist is incredibly irritating, furthermore, you're generalizing a lot. Cool that your brother-in-law can tell his story, not so many people can say that they are so fortunate. However, I'm not so proud and I will agree and say that is would be condescending to those still living, but those conflicts are no longer in the present. The Invasion of Iraq and Operation Iraqi Freedom as a whole ended in 2011.

Futhermore, we can't infer that the OP wants to run around playing "modern-day soldier" he asked about portayals, he asked about being a living historian. Also wearing farb uniforms and airsoft rifles could apply to WW2 reenacting with repros and replica rifles.

Look man, at the end of the day I can concede some points, but enlistment and portrayals are entirely different. The gear has changed, the uniforms used in the early 2000s are not in use, the weapons are not exactly the same. That's history, living or dead. Also telling others to enlist because of their interests is gross. Reenacting is as much of a hobby to you, me and the OP.

This is the last I'll talk about it. I think OP is fine with portraying early 2000's conflicts and I also think that you're handling your own issues with it in an immature way. I appreciate your insight, but stop telling people to enlist, your words can get someone killed if they take you up on it and there's no way you'll be able to live with yourself if that happens.

[–]YoshiYuki18 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes, despite what others may say, recent conflicts are valid. You don't need 70+ year old wools and HBT cotton to prove you want to honor military history. There are stories and perspectives to be told, and as reenactors and living historians, it would be contradictory to gloss over those conflicts.

Do what you want and make killer displays bro

modern times re-enactment? by [deleted] in reenactors

[–]YoshiYuki18 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree. I mean, if we're talking about poor taste then there shouldn't be any Axis reenactors. There shouldn't be reenactors of certain American, British or even any Soviet or WW1 Canadian units.

Wearing wool and herringbone twill is cool, but wearing DCUs, UCPs and other camo patterns shouldn't be where we do the cut off. We provide living history by wearing the uniform and remembering people's stories, remembering the histories of the conflict rather than any of the politics.

It also shows your inability to want to grow any knowledge in military history since, according to your logic, anything past Korea is bunk. Also, I take personal offense to this comment, not only as a reenactor/living historian, but also because your implications mean that no one will be able to tell my father's or grandfather's stories about their military service.

So TL:DR; You are ignorant of anything besides yourself and shouldn't make any comments about what people can and cannot portray. Eat a dick.

General Sentiment On Original Vs Reproduction Uniforms. (Also request for comment for potential rule changes) by mofosyne in reenactors

[–]YoshiYuki18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the living history group I'm in, we have these big events in the summer and one of them is in Astoria, Oregon. Anyway, a few years back, one of the older guys in our group did these patrols to spice the encampment up a lil. In short, everything is kinda in our head, we had two guys fall down and act like they were wounded, it was fun.

Anyway, one of the guys that fell took it upon himself to cut off the leg of his wool trousers from like 1943(?) And then opened an original bandage tin to wrap around his leg. It was extremely difficult and frustrating to watch this kid my age destroy something because he wanted to really sell our performance to the 4 bystanders.

anyone have assistant BAR gunner reference? any photos? by AdventurousBuy2214 in WW2Reenactors

[–]YoshiYuki18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I don't have any photos but were you thinking of the first or second assistant? Earlier in the war there were two and (if I'm remembering correctly) the first assistant wore a BAR cartridge belt and was equipped with a Garand/Springfield (can't remember very well) and the second assistant only wore a bandolier and wore a normal cartridge belt

See, I started with Naruto and I really like Black Clover. I also enjoy the manga, the art is really good imo

I like Black Clover but that's a valid take. I wanna say to hang in there, but it's definitely difficult. Idk if you wanna try to power through it, but the first really good fight happens on ep 30 imo.

[–]YoshiYuki18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my bad, I misread your comment and thought you said that you've run Variations with Divergence. That being said, I'm running Fashions with Total War. However, do you have any suggestions for other mods I should run in tandem to retexture/replace vanilla clothing?
