Let me tell you about a crime that has been committed against fashion in gaming. Cenotaph Mask is an exotic helmet for the Warlock class in Destiny 2 that was introduced in August 2023 with Season of the Deep. On release, players soon noticed two things: 1) Its unique perk, which enables you to generate heavy ammo for allies by marking powerful enemies with a trace rifle, is incredibly powerful. 2) Cenotaph Mask looks absolutely ridiculous.
Below you can see the base version, which is giving me H.R. Giger's Xenomorph having sex with a whalebone and giving birth to a wearable anvil. In a game that is full of cosmetics so baffling that you wonder how anyone signed off on them, Cenotaph Mask instantly entered the S tier of fashion infamy.
