The community makes the game, they should be allowed to play the game.

If you have the brooklyn booties it won't let you equip the mantreads or gunboats.

I know a method that involves internet, i've tested it and it still works
1. Remove all cosmetics
2. Go to a supply locker then walk out of range of the supply locker
3. Disable all internet connections to your computer
4. Quickly equip all the cosmetics you want to (It will look like you aren't equiping cosmetics while doing this step)
5. Re-Connect your internet to your computer
6. Return to the supplylocker and all the miscs you equip should be on!

Note: I've only tested this on mac and on a server although this may not work on localy hosted servers or on windows/linux computers although I highly doubt it won't work on windows/linux.

Also, after seconds of turning off your internet connection you should get an auto disconnect warning in the top right corner and everyone in your game including yourself should freeze (Client side), if you don't equip the cosmetics and or re-connect your internet fast enough then you will be kicked from the server and have to re-start.
