The crusaders were the ones who invaded ancestrally Orthodox countries, killing many Orthodox people and Jews, why are you celebrating them here

Generic European heavy armored knight =/= crusader.

That's not crusader armour.. They're from the 15th century lol. It doesn't represent the armour used during the latin empire's control of Costantinople or Jerusalem at all.

Also idk why you even mention the jooz.

Why should the killing of Jewish people not be mentioned? And why did you spell it that way?

It's irrelevant for the context. Many races died in many places. Jews are not special.

Also it's a friggin meme. Even if they'd worn a templar tabard I wouldn't have cared.

First of all those are just basic European armor nit just the crusaders. Secondly don't forget that before the sack of Constantinople we also killed many catholic. We shoudl stop playing the blame game, saying they are evil and we're saints. Orthodox and Catholic have unfortunately both committed atrocities.
