Kit looks nice but that exposed “tegris” is grim.

Looks good but tbh I can't help thinking you're carrying alot of unnecessary extra kit. However if you're happy with it then that's the only opinion which matters

I do miss people doing full on impressions, at least online it felt like a real sub culture of the hobby.
Now everyone (me included) just goes in a mash up of whatever.....maybe it's just my rose tinted glasses.
Love the load out by the way, I think it looks great and lots of usable stuff.

Which is a perfectly valid reason. Btw if that's a stars and stripes on your left arm? If so it looks like it's the wrong way round, US uniform regs say flag patches on the arm are to be worn as if the flag pole would be at the front of the body
I know what you mean, a well put together impression looks great. Unfortunately I did also notice a certain level of snobbery in some of the themed communities though where newbies would be put down or insulted for simply asking questions.
I've done specific loadouts in the past but always found there was something that I didn't get on with so went back to sticking with what works and I think looks goo

Cool beans. I find it's the little details which can really make an impression stand out

There was definitely snobbery on gear, but also poor communication around things which were meant to be helpful. (I suspect the poor communication was due to the medium, online chat with zero tone, than anything else).
Having your kit criticized and picked apart could make someone not like something they've put loads of effort into, so even minor comments meant to help, could be taken as someone being snobby. Putting time, money and effort into something just to have "erm technically this is wrong" is a bit deflating for something they're so passionate about they've taken pictures for a strangers validation.
So short version- great kit, think it looks awesome.

Unfortunately for a certain forum it often went further than constructive criticism with long term members straight up slagging off new members just because they can't ID a unit patch from a blurry black and white photo that's been copied multiple times, or ask for a translation of the label in a vest to tell if it's legitimate or not.
There's a big difference between "actually X is wrong and should be y" is very different to "you're a cunt and look like shit, fuck off and don't come back"

The BHD/Operation Gothic Serpent crowd is awash with snobby stitch counters!

I seem to hear that most days when I get to work lol (jk)
I think it's always like that when you put yourself out there; sometimes even genuine criticism meant in a nice and helpful way can carry a sting to it if you have poured yourself into something. And like you say, it's so hard online to gauge tone or sarcasm, etc.; sometimes something legitimately coming across as nice could sound blunt or horrible to someone else.
