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.

it's a shit skin anyway
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.
she isn't literally a hindu goddess she's just wearing a hindu themed costume
>>345326620
>my made up fairy tales need to be respected
I believe in a god who makes fun of other gods and questions their existence. You cannot do this to me now.
>a skin representative of Shiva

Yeah ok.
>>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.
What are some games that show either Jesus, God, or Mohammed?

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.

What do you want
>>345328638
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.

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.

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.

>>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.

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.

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"

This. I used to be hardcore atheist til I realized how important spirituality really is to humans. It makes people do stupid things but it also helps people so great things.

I don't dislike religion for the set of values it could bring. That can be a positive. I dislike religion because it exists under a fake premise where people willingly know it's bullshit but just go with it because of muh tradition.

Have you ever been in a church? Have you felt the, for lack of a better word, "energy" in the room as the pastor gets the whole room worked up? It's a powerful thing that has allowed humans to do things they could otherwise not do by themselves. I grew up in churches despite never believing in God. But I could sure feel the energy in the room every time I attended.
I don't think wisdom is the right word for it because you can be spiritual without ever being wise. But I don't think listening to a sermon is the only way to tap into it either.
I think the underlying current involves harmonizing with a community.

In most first-world countries religions are taught like "some people believe..." whereas in non-secular countries the same events are taught as "this happened". So that's what I mean by being forced. Nobody becomes religious as an adult if they were an actual atheist before, the only time this happens is when someone pretends to be an atheist because they're an edgy teenager who doesn't want to go to church but secretly they still believe it.
>>345332938

Honestly, there's a lot of OBVIOUS racial stereotypes in Overkek. I personally don't mind them, but it's baffling why white Twitter spouting SJWs haven't picked up in it. Probably because they're too fucking dumb to see it and not nearly as progressive as they claim to be.

this same exact thing exists outside of churches too. it's present everywhere, in religion, in war, in sports, etc.
harmonizing with a community is certainly spot on, but it must be said that it's not some exclusive thing to one particular theme imo.

Religions were invented because humans could not explain things and couldn't live with it due to narcissism.
All religions involve the creation of humans being the most important, some religions center around earth and humans entirely, as far as saying that the universe EXISTS as merely room for humans to be in.
You are already living in such a world, familia. You always have.

Mao Zedong
I'm sure you'll call that edgy, but seriously, this guy led a huge revolution that changed China forever. He even changed their language system that had existed for nearly 2000 years and completely eliminated the old way of thinking. Whether or not this is a "good thing" (China is shit now) is beside the point. Without any religion, he changed the world.
>>345333689
I already said that listening to a sermon is not the only way to tap into it. I already said I think that the important part is harmonizing with a community. You can convince a group of people do something great (and I don't mean great in a moral sense, just look at the nazis) by getting them to believe in SOMETHING, not necessarily a god. The keyword here is belief.

atheists still give a shit about things to the point of being a different kind of toxic when they exist in extreme form.
agnostics just don't care man, they find everyone inspiring and worth drawing from because they see the values in taking such a neutral stance instead of standing so firmly on a particular side of the fence.

A lot of people who did immense progress in fields like botany some centuries ago generally lived alone for most of their lives.
Plenty of influential writers and painters being known for being complete shut-ins to the point that it developed into a mental illness that killed them early, yet they still produced works that amazed people centuries after their life. Nihilists included. People who always carried an extremely negative outlook on existence included.

You are using the word incorrectly you fucking retard. There is no such thing as just being an agnostic. You are either an atheist or a theist, there isn't a third position, it's a binary issue. This is because you can either believe or not believe, that is just how that works. If you don't know, that is the same thing as lacking a belief.
I's like to interject for a moment, but the religion itself is not what decides if the person is annoying, but how fanatic this person is for its religion.
Id take a chill christian over an extremely bashful and annoying atheist any day of the week.
And when this person gets TOO annoying, it straps bombs on his body and KABLAMO!

i'm specifically only referring to the extreme side of ones beliefs, as in to the point where they're forcing it down other peoples throats in exchange for sparing their life.
i don't think there's anything wrong with their way of thinking, that's not up to me to judge. i just think it sucks when people are so quick to draw diversions between one another. does that make sense?
>>345334885
Anon I have not said that you can only accomplish greatness through shared belief, only that it is historically a powerful way to do so and should be respected to some degree.

Yep.
So really there are two options
1. They're an agnostic theist, and they just want to believe in a God, but don't require any evidence.
2. They're an agnostic atheist, and they don't believe in a God, but don't believe they know for sure (this is almost every single atheist).
So simply stating "UM GUYS I'M AN AGNOSTIC LOOK AT ME" is the most useless statement of all time.
It provides nothing, and says nothing about how you view the world.

Well, to be fair, ANYTHING will be offensive to some minorities.
Just because something references something, does not give anyone free reign to have it removed. Sometimes in life, we will have to be reminded of the way things are (Or the way things were).
You have to keep in mind, there's a character who is known for being a "terrorist", and he has commited mass murder.
That's something that everyone SHOULD be offended by. But it's part of his story, and we accept that.
Maybe McCree is a little racist. Why can't we accept that as being a cannon part of the overall story of Overwatch, and go on with our lives?
The same with the Devi skin. Why can't we just acknowledge that it's meant to be a costume of a mythical character, and nothing more.
The individual complaining is trying to get in the spotlight for a moment.

I encourage you to thoroughly read the discussion before replying.
While music is absolutely another example of this harmonization (and it should be noted that many churches utilize music during services to heighten this feeling) music alone has never moved people the way that combinging it with a religion or ideology does.
I prefer Symettra's other legendary anyway. It looks like it was inspired from a time before Symetrra would've had equal rights.

If currentchan is so contrarian, why do so many of them still hate anime? I mean, that's a pretty popular viewpoint among normalfags
>>345336198
I am not offended by anything personally.
But McCree is making a smug and proud observation about how they slaughtered the original inhabitants of some place.
I'm pretty sure that's infinitely more offensive than tracer's pose or the god skin. Personally I don't care and I want to preserve and showcase people who may be racist etc.
It was for the people whose profession is getting offended.

atheists most definitely DO care about religion a lot, it's literally part of what makes someone an atheist, choosing to specifically not believe in religion and being concrete on the concept that gods definitely do not exist 100%.
merely making observations that's all, i'm not agnostic myself.

Twitch and pewdiepie have popularized "anime" and "weebs", as a matter of fact. Knowing some super generic anime references like senpai and DBZ is mainstream now.

I guess that's just a culture war thing then.
As a Hindu myself, I find Symettra's skin just fine. Nothing is really being trivialised. She's dressed as a tribute to a big part of Hindu belief and culture.
If Rajan had actually played the game he'd know that you're simply playing as an autistic sperg and not an actual goddess. If anything it's just cosplay.
