This thread alone is not demonstrating support for this new mount, but rather the opposite. As is this poll below.

Fortunately, there are also some more grounded and realistic things in the Crown Store as well. That way, the people who like the grounded and realistic things can get those, and the people who like the flashy things can get what they want. It's a win-win!
...unless, of course, by "adults don't like flashy things," you mean "I don't like to see other people enjoy flashy things." In which case...

Look, that horse isn't my cup of tea. I do recognize it is themed after the Symphony of Blades (which, surprisingly, is a thing in ESO), so it works. I'm not expecting many people are going to get it, and probably a lot of people who do will get it because they like how flashy it is.
But ZOS wouldn't make and sell things like this if they didn't sell... so obviously someone likes it.
Now to just hope they decide to make some of the things that I want so I can buy them, regardless of what others on the forum think.

Can't judge too hard based off forum posts though, the forums are mostly negative comments and that's just generally how forums are. People are more likely to post their opinions on things they dislike, rather than come post compliments on all the things they enjoy.

So... I found that the horse originates from the Bhagavad Gita and represents an aspect of Krishna. While it’s a mytho correct reference, I still feel it doesn’t quite fit the theme of Tamriel, it just seems that the devs don't take into account the community dynamic when they "trot" out things like this.
But I'd pay cash monies for the slider that allows *ME* not to see that cartoony rubbish on *my* screen.
I don't want to keep players from buying what players want, but don't obligate *me* to have to see it.

Its the Tamriel equivalent of a turbo speed blender!
They don't want us to RIDE it, they want us to make smoothies.

I think there's a different term for that.

So I need an empty tower or tower ruin. Then I lower that thing into it and... then what? Throw down a few prisoners?

Precisely!
As a green-pact bosmer, I highly recommend the Cyrodiil 3 Alliance Smoothie! : D
A dash of confetti for extra flavor, and if you want it warm, throw in a flaming camel lizard.

The people who work on making cosmetics to sell probably aren't on the same team as the ones doing bug fixes or making content. And these dumb mounts are the things that fund the other stuff.
