I think they should be more offeneded that it is a crap game

fuck them
also fuck the religion that got offended by "faith fighter" (or whatever the hell that shit flash game was called)

lighten the fuck up.

Idiots.

So they're going to make a game about their venerable Monkey God that little kids will play and learn more of their venerable Monkey God... and this is bad how again, exactly?

Fuck them, Hinduism is just as extremist as the Muslims (If not more, lookup the Hindu Caste system, or just click here http://www.friesian.com/caste.htm) which is so God (lol!) damn primitive and idiotic.

Seriously, political correctness needs to be bitched slapped more often. x 2

I still think it's idiotic. But, I guess many countries don't understand the concept of free speech as well as the fact that the best way to educate people in your religious beliefs is to actually educate them rather than make sure that they only see what you want them to see.

Let 'em complain. What are they gonna do? Counter by making a game in which one of their deities beats up Jesus? I'll play that game.

Fuck dem, If I had a dump truck full of fucks, fuck no I wouldn't give NONE

Umm, the "Universal Society of Hinduism" doesn't actually exist. :-/

As a Hindu, the amount of fucking idiots in the post has made me lose faith in Destructoid ever being the mature videogames community it aspires to be. Seriously, to actually insult a person's religion in a post to the extent that has happened here is offensive to an extent I don't really feel to be acceptable. I won't mention names but it should be blindingly obvious anyway.

Re: The actual post, I suppose the content of the actual game is what matters and assuming the dudes who made it were Hindus I doubt there's a problem with that, twitch reactions with no consideration fail. After all, it's just a representation of the deity and if it brings enjoyment to people then so be it. Then again, if you imagine the shitstorm that would come from a game about Jesus I think it's actually fairly impressive that the complaint is so small.

(FYI, the caste system was pretty much destroyed following Indian independance. Given that most feudal systems (which amount to the same thing) within Western Europe developed in this fashion about 10,000 years after the text was written regarding that it's pretty damn advanced)

Actually, in India, the caste system still holds sway. The government IS trying its best to stamp it out, but it still persists, much in the same way Mormon polygamy exists in the US, despite the US government's best efforts to stop the abusive practice of forced marriages.

Natural20 - you have to realize that Free Speech also means the freedom to insult people and get insulted. Insults and Hate Speech are different things. Insults hurt feelings, while Hate Speech actively incites violence. Hate speech should be banned, Insults should never be banned.

I'm an atheist. Go ahead, insult me. Even if you don't feel like doing it. Go on. I'll take the insult, and you know what? I won't do anything. Nothing at all.

Every culture has bad, VERY bad parts to it. My culture, Australian culture, has far too much drinking and domestic violence. Hindu culture, also, has many problems with it. In recent years, Hindu nationalists have tried to get anything remotely "western" banned in India, going so far as to slam Coca-Cola and Pepsi for being "wrong". They also tried to unoffically ban valentines day and some tried to whack any woman seen on a bar on that day (not the "kill" whack, I'm talking about the old fashion whacking). India is pretty much split into two societies at this point - the people in the modern cities who are forward thinking and developed and generally great people all-around, and the people in the remote villages who are superstitious as hell, intolerant and a bit crazy (like many rednecks in deep south USA, or in the outback in Australia, or in the remote provinces of China).

Hinduism, like all religions, are not a good thing when allowed to have too much power. Right now, in India, too many priests and whatnot have GENUINE power over its followers, instructing them to do this or that, or demanding their orders be carried out. In the west, priests can say stuff, but most people ignore them. The problem with India is that religion is still too powerful, the preists and the clergy still run their rural villages like their own personal clan. I know the government in India is doing their best to stamp out such nonsense, and I hope they do.

Christianity has also had its share of witch-burnings, book burnings, intolerant periods - but that stopped about 200 years ago in most Western Countries. I know in my heart that India will also stop the "crazies" from remaining in power.

All the best religions are next-gen.

Natural 20 is retarded. He makes me wanna punch a Hindu.
