Sure if you think I crossed the logical limits I'd really love to hear about what are your limits on the statement "
They are under no obligation to respect or oblige us in any way."
So I'm guessing as soon as other people start harming us in any way you feel the above statement no longer implies. They are under obligation to not harm us? But they aren't under obligation to respect our religion?
I wonder who is creating a fallacy by using statements created for their self created logical limits.
Don't quite understand what you mean by my approach and my problem. I just proposed raising a voice as a fellow game developer working in the same company who is doing such things and make them understand that doing things like these are considered disrespectful.
All communities are biased sure. But not all communities are disrespectful towards each other. That's what I'm trying to clear out from the very beginning. Be Respectful. Is that so much to ask?
Again I still think it's the right to disagree on a topic. Offend is a more stronger word which always seem to imply to me as the person is just right out pissed or butthurt. Butthurt people usually tend to diss others or the topic they are offended with. If you are offended keep it to yourself don't try to create a discussion in public and diss the person or thing you are offended with. That's unethical. Disagreeing on the otherhand feels more passive.
Big things sure started with words only, GC. There is a difference in being tolerant and turning a blind eye to what's going on around you. Little things like these escalate into bigger issues.
Issues like these aren't a walk in the park, a random stranger just dissing you so you say be tolerant, ignore the guy and move on. The scale here is much bigger. Video Games are played by almost everyone
around the world and they effectively portray many things. Why are we letting our religion be someone's toy so he can do whatever he wants with it and we think "be tolerant and ignore it".
And don't get me wrong. Both the creator of the video here, and the devs are wrong. But you guys just seem to disagree with the video creator only. The video creator instead of putting the title "Blasphemous" Should have discussed that how lack of knowledge of other's religion leads to these situations and the developers should try to understand it while adding the point it may or may not be intentional.
On the other hand the devs sure take someone else's religion pretty lightly. Both are wrong in their own places.
The main thing I want to point is look how actively they raise their voice when games like
Six days in Fallujah come out which was depicting the American invasion. Like they are fucking scared They do understand my above point about how video games effectively portray many things and are played all over the world. But when they decide to use our religion without giving a second thought which portrays a negative view about us to the whole world, We allow them to just toy with it and do whatever they like and tell ourselves to be tolerant?
