Having a special interest in a character with an unfortunate design means when i see redesigns that lean into the unfortunate aspects I am fully aware that I'm the only one who is aware of this and I have to bear the knowledge and just keep scrolling because it is not worth it

#kiyos outfit is indeed based off of a fit from an old vis. kei music video. like almost entirely lifted #but a lot of vkei pulls from military outfits for fashion inspo #kiyos outfit at a distance can easily resemble a w.w.2 uniform. the red armband symbolizing a club leader has no place in the outfit #because hes not a club leader #if he had any other outfit the armband would not raise any eyebrows because its anime #but paired with the military adjacent uniform whether intentional or not it is suuuuuch a big accident on the designers part lol #and lore wise kiyo would know this! he is an anthropologist. which could open another can of worms #anyway what im getting at is #i see a lot of designs that really lean heavily into the militaristic design it lends itself to #and yes while the designs look good #its just sort of like kok*chis hat problem times ten #and its like i know a lot of people in this fandom are teenagers and rhe critical thinking braincell is still kicking in #but i see it A LOT in mastermind designs as well #reallt this is a bit of a nonissue but. its something else to keep in mind about kiyo and his design when showing him off to ppl #because ive had more than one non v3/dr fan express initial apprehension at his design for these reasons #its 7:30 in the morning
