He's right you know. A Jesus Christ or Muhammed skin wouldn't be tolerated, yet Blizzard thinks it's fine to pick on Hindus. I haven't played Overwatch but Blizzard needs to remove the skins ASAP.

Keep in mind that Hi-Rez Studios dealt with this same shit when a small bunch of American Hindus got mad at Kali's FAITHFUL representation in SMITE and demanded the entire Hindu pantheon be removed from the game. Hi-Rez, as tastefully as possible, told them to fuck off.

Ghandi is a character and they found a humorous portrayal of him offensive.
>>345326397
>An article in Maxim Magazine depicting Mahatma Gandhi being beaten up by a muscular man sparked outrage in India.[9] Clone High was caught in a crossfire when citizens in the country conducted internet searches on the Maxim article but also found out about the show's Gandhi character on MTV's website. This sparked an outrage in India over the show's depiction of Gandhi.[9] On January 30, 2003, the 55th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's assassination, approximately 150 protesters (including members of parliament) gathered in New Delhi and vowed to fast in response to Clone High.[10] Tom Freston, the head of Viacom (owner of MTV), was visiting the network's India branch and was "trapped in the building," according to Miller. In 2015, he recalled that protestors "basically threatened that they'd revoke MTV's broadcasting license in India if they didn't take the show off the air".[4]
>MTV offered a quick apology, stating that "Clone High was created and intended for an American audience", and "we recognize and respect that various cultures may view this programming differently, and we regret any offense taken by the content in the show".
tl;dr, a show that wasn't even broadcast or made for India got Hindus so booty blasted they literally trapped the MTV CEO and threatened to kick MTV out of the county

How long until a buddhist monk sets fire to themselves over Zenyatta not being a pacifist?
Why would anyone make an article about this. All you're doing is spreading some stupid shit that can potentially remove something from a game.

Yeah ok.
>>345326269
>>345326798
Zenyatta isn't strictly Buddhist though. They wisely made him a blend of Buddhist and Taoist ideas like the Jedi. Now the east will just laugh at him instead of complaining.
Well if a Jesus-themed skin for Reaper was available it would be the same thing.
You know because he's back from the dead.
>>345326798
Lmao Buddhists aren't pacifists.
>>345326605
Doesn't matter to crazy religious people. Imagine how pissed Muslims would get if South Park had an episode about a clone of Muhammad using a similar story to that episode of Star Trek TNG where they cloned the Klingon prophet.
I wouldn't mind if they removed it as well. It breaks her coloring and profile too much.
>>345325983
A Jesus skin would be tolerated it's just not exotic enough for the anti-American developers at Blizzard.

I wonder...
>>345325983
>Moreover, Devi and its movements depicted in Overwatch did not match with characterization of the goddesses in the scriptures
So if they just changed the name it would be fine?
Hinduism is the forgotten middle child of religions so they try to get loud at any incident of relevance for attention. Just give them what they want so we can forget about them for another decade or so.
>>345327181
lol
>>345325983
I'm a Christian and I really wouldn't care if they had Jesus as a character or costume in a game. That would actually be pretty cool, depending on how they do it.
>>345326759
Most characters based on religious figures in Digimon are incredibly broken, so they'd probably be happy. Granted, I've never heard any other Christian say anything positive or negative about Jesmon, as everyone's too concerned with Magnamon and the Extreme Jihad.

With this and Clone High, I feel like Indians just don't like the idea of Westerners doing this kind of thing.
I haven't heard of any hubbub about how I can abuse Hindu gods like silly in SMT games.

But they would absolutely complain and boycott, like the Hindus are. Christians are just a bigger part of the western market and media, so they're more costly to offend.
>>345328325
I feel SMT might be just niche enough that nobody notices. People only care when something becomes popular, as it gives them a taller podium to stand on and get peoples attentions.
Example: The Grand Theft Auto Hot Coffee scandal. People were outraged because hackers managed to find some unused code in the game of an interactive sex scene, and demanded the 18+ game become Adult Only.
Around the same time, Farenheit/Indigo Prophecy was released. In the UK at least, it was a 16+ game. It had at least three sex scenes that I can recall, one of which was interactive. Nobody ever said a word against it. (Of course, David Cage's next two games, which both got far more attention, did get some criticism because, once again only through hacks, you could find naked females character models from a pair of shower scenes)

Remove the skin while refunding your credits, then reintroduce an altered skin a couple months later that you can choose to purchase again. At least, that's what Hi-Rez did when one of Bastet's skins looked a bit too much like Catwoman.

But that was the exact argument used. The old pose "didn't fit Tracer's character" because she's not the type of character to present her ass wholesale like she did. So they changed the pose to that of a pinup girl you'd see sprayed on the side of an army plane because "hurr she's a pilot."
>>345327532
A Jesus skin would definitely be 'tolerated' as such, but most people would see it as pretty on the nose and out of place while a hindu skin feels more exotic and distant from our culture. I cant speak for anyone but myself, but running around as mercy in a Jesus christ skin with a crown of thorns etc would feel pretty weird.

So not only do you want to cave in to faggots, but you also want to apologize to them for creating artistic subjective content.

SJWs were ready to start a shitstorm over that pose after it was pointed out.
As much as I hate to say it, they have a fucking stranglehold on the industry, and can tear something apart really fucking fast if they aren't contained.
On the other hand, Hindus can't do anything but scream at you and shit in your streets.
If you ignore them, they'll just go away, unlike SJWs and Feminazis who are some of the most persistent, self-driven fuckheads in the universe.

>>Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, said that in a video game set-up, the player controlled the movements of Devi, while in reality the devotees put the destinies of themselves in the hands of their goddesses.
this is a fair point. if the devs chose to include it they should've done more research.
now they are going to swap it out for something else just like tracer and look like the good guys to the indians next

Many people do not have access to information that would provide them with knowledge to the contrary. Those Africans and various other third worlders are still living in the equivalent of antiquity. Americans, on the other hand, are just too stupid to think for themselves and despite having access to technology and information, only use their computers to look at porn and facebook.

It's not that recent. It's good to be critical of your own culture but being overly critical of the religion that allowed western society and secularism to thrive is a bit of a slippery slope.
Of course, there were fundamentalists, but the foundation of the religion allowed for "forgiveness" and never punished apostates the way other religions have.
Witchcraft was a whole other situation, as people actually believed evil forces were causing women becoming hysterical in lieu of no other explanation.

No they weren't. Blizzard prostrated before most people knew what happened. A lot of people were discovering the "controversy" after Blizzard kowtowed.
SJWs are powerless as well. There's never been a proven consequence form their actions, that wasn't the dev/publisher caving in under verbal pressure or wrongly perceived threats.
>>345329826
Not exactly 100% about religion, but nurturing the spirit is actually very important and it is something people lacked since forever and for the average guy most religions offers just that.
While I don't agree with most dogmatic teachings I can appreciate what they are trying to do at their core.
>>345329838
I mean that's good though, at least from a from the perspective of being able to get them hell. People don't like to look at it this way but pedophiles are similar to homosexuals it's just that one is acceptable with acceptable partners. The way modern history has treated pedophiles we're running into a loop of "only sick people take pills so I won't take pills" fueled by the fear of being ostracized and punished.

There's a shock.
Now if you'll excuse me I need to polish my fedora collection.

Fuck religions and people getting butthurt over their imaginary friends. They should just do other religion based skins and tell zealots to get fucked. They shouldn't be allowed any kond of power there.

There should be a Muhammad skin. There should be Muhammad skins in every game. Every piece of media needs to parody and insult Muhammad. I want Mudslimes to chimp out so hard that we finally start the purge.

I wonder how many people who post Fedoras are actually religious and not just atheists/agnostics who think they're funny by being ironic.
>>345325983
this is the reason why ayy lmaos laugh at us.
>>345330078
No, I'm just saying that one person isn't really an argument against one other saying he does.
>>345325983
Also OT it's actually relevant that Zed want's to remove it because a lot of people get their knowledge about Hinduism(or whatever the thing is) from games.
Take 'Karms' for example, in Hinduism it's greatly tied into reincarnation but now because a lot of people in west learn from it's meme representation, that's what they think it really is, although the idea is in buddhism too.
Of course it's ignorance of masses to blame for that, but knowing that masses ARE going to be this and still choosing to do something sounds dishonest(even if Blizzard had no bad intentions here).
Idc in the end, blizzard can choose to remove if they feel like it, but they aren't obligated to.

I don't know, South Park did both. Didn't go smoothly, but it did go. Hell, Jew class in the game. And JC summon.

A similar things happened with the game smite. Because of the goddess Kali, she was depicted with no bra but instead a necklace of skulls to cover her up. This outraged some hindu people even though traditional hindu depictions of her were much worse as she was completely naked and covered in blood and other body parts. Kali was still eventually changed to be less revealing.

> it is something people lacked since forever
Religions are exponentially losing interest among the new generations in all the growing countries, while it remains stagnant in literal shitholes where people die for drinking liquid shit.
Religion was something we needed when we couldn't explain thunderstorms and earthquakes as primitive beings. We should be past that stage now. We can explain and observe every single thing that was at some point attributed to the work of gods.

I'm never converting to any religion, so I don't see why they care. I didn't know about the concept of Alaya-Vijnana until I watched G-Tekketsu, looked at the Wikipedia article afterwords, and even then, I don't see how this is a big deal or something that it even matters if I have the right interpretation of as I don't think any more or less of buddhists now.
>>345330965
It's just religious people who know they have not one valid argument so they desperately resort to fedoraposting.
Let them be.
>>345325983
Pooinloo here.
When I saw that skin on Symmetra I honestly thought it was really, really fucking cool.
I love it when a mythology I'm familiar with is interpreted in cool ways in games. Like playing SMT and recruiting Hanuman or Parvati or something. The Krishna design in SMT IV Apocalypse looks neat as fuck too.
I mean fuck, there's this really obsolete Hindu practice in which a widow has to self-immolate after her husband's death. In P3 I found a Persona named Sati which is literally a woman burning alive.
That's not racist that's FUCKING AWESOME! The devs did their research and it's neat as fuck to see in video games. Multiculturalism and diversity in vidya shouldn't be shoehorned in like that one dev of Uncharted 4 says it should, but stuff that's done well like this is fantastic imo; when it's not just so that they can say "We're progressive guys really, please notice"
