I just spent a few minutes searching for it to no avail, but I remember seeing a 4chan post around the time season 1 dropped that purported to be written by one of the token males on the production or writing team. He described one meeting where the lead producer went on an angry rant about how trump and right-wingers were “dickheads” and then the staff decided to make the Nilfgardians a stand-in for trump followers. And so, they designed the Nilfgardian armour thusly: https://i.redd.it/tkyqqxby1r131.jpg

The author of the post described how he was ignored when trying to bring some sanity to the discussion. I wonder if this DeMayo guy is the author of the 4chan post?
