Just as the title says, change that arm on both, cause it's really uncool even if done on accident and is very uncomfortable and upsetting to look at, probably for other people too.
That's more often than not an improper spear form anyways and it's incredibly insensitive and offensive to both Jewish people and black people. The right arm is just a N*zi salute, the left arm like that is a common triple K salute, both are just bad.
Even if it was unintentional it needs to be changed or removed entirely.
[Update:] I don't know how to properly explain why imagery like this is bad as a whole regardless, when there was dozens of ways to avoid it along the way like rotating the wrist to be vertical and a dozen other "proper forms" to pick from of the motion of following through the throw when the arm lowers. (You don't choke the spear with the other hand and balance it on your thumb instead so it doesn't catch on your hand btw from what I've seen, so changing it a little to not be accidentally upsetting isn't that much of a hardship since it's already a little off.)
TDLR: Along with the fact they're humanoids with close flesh colors and middle eastern head gear, "context" and "reaching" doesn't change the end result of the image. It's close enough to matter, and such a trivial and strange thing to debate against for those it does not affect directly.
{Another update:} I don't actually care about debating this or if the mods lock this, I have very direct family that passed in a camp and everyone's experiences with accidental imagery/purposeful imagery and generational trauma stuff is different. This is just upsetting to me personally and I doubt I'm the only one in a mass of people playing, and not that big of a deal to change to make people less uncomfortable.
{[Small update:]} The ones below are an edit I did and sent on discord lmao.
The ones here at the very bottom are the originals for people a bit confused V V V:
[Final Update:] A good point in the thread was the names.
The SS (acronym in the names) [The Schutzstaffel (SS) was a major paramilitary organization under H*tler and the N*zi Party (NSDAP) in N*zi Germany, and later throughout German-occupied Europe during World War II.]
*** I didn't realize the Trooper thing was a suggestion by another user at first in the thread and confused myself for a minute, but like, SS in their names is still a N*zi thing, the trooper thing was just a regular unintentional bad idea with no ill intent, sorry dude.
It's just all bad, guys.
