Sadly there are many otherwise progress people whom I’ve encountered that don’t see the issue with it, or even like it because they prefer how it looks.

Which part?

My bad, I got confused looking at the colored lines on the Lemmy sidebar on who you were reply too. I think I still have the same question now though.
Not giving up my penis, I need it so I can pee properly (while standing).
Those Rebel helmets always seemed odd to me. Why have so much protection on the rear neck area? Wouldn’t it make more sense to protect the frontal part of your head area more than the back?
Info dump no one asked for:
These are actually Alderaanian consular security, as they are the security force assigned to and responsible for escorting senators and other dignitaries. Many rebel troopers, primarily on Yavin 4, utilized the same uniform or variants thereof due to the the relaxed nature of the rebel uniform standard.
My best guess for why this helmet is seen a lot with the rebels is due to the (surviving) Alderaanian security force joining the rebels and bringing their equipment, however it’s not really explained.
Regarding the actual functionality of the helmet, I have no clue and I’m sure it was just because it looked cool a futuristic, thanks George Lucas.
