“Also, nobody on staff knows how to fix a dropped chain.”

Theft: The act of stealing.

Copying a digital product is in no way akin to stealing a tangible object. This argument is so tired and nonsensical.

I do understand somewhat where the guy is coming from. His feelings are hurt that somebody used his deity as a design for an Indian woman in their game. I understand it, but that doesn’t make it seem less stupid to me. Religions across the world are regularly mocked and ridiculed, and people need to grow a thicker…

I was thinking more a Cardcaptor Sakura type scenario. Cute and fun but enough danger to be exciting. Not “friend has her head bitten off” status.

You have your right to think something is bad for depicting one of your gods. I have the right to think you’re a reactionary idiot over it. These are not mutually exclusive, nor am I a bad person for feeling that way over one old guy getting mad about a video game skin.

Yeah, a major world religion with a billion people is really so sensitive that an overwatch skin makes their whole religion moot. There is no people as hilariously overly sensitive and perpetually butthurt than the religious. Except maybe the defenders of the religious. Say what you want about Christianity, but I…

Everybody finds something objectionable. Nobody should devote their life and sensibilities to whether some fringe Hindu crazy finds issue with an unlockable video game skin. If you do then THAT is the problem. Hinduism has existed for half a dozen millenia, so I don’t think one character dressing as a goddess will…

“It is, however, a bit questionable as to whether or not it’s meant to be inclusive to Polynesian culture or if it’s a stereotypical and orientalist representation of Polynesian culture for the sake of presenting something ‘exotic’ to players.”

I hold games sacred. Where’s my internet brigade defending my baseless outrage? I can write online too, listen to me damnit!

Apparently “cultural sensitivity” means “cater to a handful of loud, irrational people to avoid being called bigots”.

Being offended means nothing though. Your feelings aren’t “wrong” but demanding that people self-censor to cater to your delicate feelings most definitely is.

Does anybody really care? And even if they did, why should I or Blizzard care? It’s a silly unlockable costume; your beliefs aren’t so fragile that they stop being “valid” because of that. Get over it, everybody.

Cry more. Nobody cares about your or anybody else’s magic space daddy.

That would make me laugh, but I don’t want the Blizzard offices to be bombed by a terrorist man with toxic masculinity and mental problems.

I’m assuming they’re referring to“cute girls doing cute things” and mahou shoujo type shows rather than things like Akira.

This is what happens when a whole nation gets away with sweeping war crimes under the rug and revises the history texts to paint Japan as the fallen hero of WWII. Too bad a large number of the Japanese fully support that mentality regardless of its basis in reality.

This is the only sane take I’ve seen on the scenario so far, and I agree. The man was wrong, shouldn’t have confronted based off of a misheard sentence, and should definitely not have drawn down on or opened fire on the people in the car.

Even Kotaku has anti-gun crazies I guess.

I was waiting for the crazy anti gun diatribe.
