Growing up my Iranian friend's dad ran a shitty little pawn shop and he did most of his business in paper cash. At the end of each day, he'd take the money to the bank and he'd bring his katana with him for protection. Watching a Muslim walk into a bank with a giant sword just after 9/11 is honestly the only time I've ever respected a dude with a katana.
Iranians have a lot of skin tones and can often pass for Euro ancestry, at least in the US.
I've started to come around on public sword-carring as a mood booster since things have been getting really shitty. This guy looked around, saw that this is the cyberpunk dystopia we get, and said "fuck it, fine, now or never".
Honda-kun, you have violated the sacred code of the bike lane. Cars are not meant to interact with my caste. Prepare to die.
In my cucked communist country I would be stopped by the cops just for going out in public with a ninjato stuffed in the belt of my shorts :rage-cry:
I saw a mall cop stop some nerd with a katana styled umbrella once :19::84:
Would you fuck with this guy when he can poke holes in your tires
man Ian McCollum is getting old, and he's doing swords stuff now?
This image is a pretty good litmus test for politics: do you regard this man with respect, or disgust?
That sword is far too short to be effective as a mounted weapon, he needs a lance or some other polearm as his primary.
What about for mounted infantry? I'm thinking he probably dismounts to fight.
I think he could carry both. A lance to pierce chuds and then he dismounts and gets in close combat with his trusty katana . A traveling Bike knight who roams the dark lands of Florida to slay chuddery wherever he finds it.
The cavalry is here. Try not to sexualize them, they are pure of heart.
