i know you guys were just trying to be funny with the illuminati picture but in the future i would recommend doing some homework before putting an image up like that going forward...
i would err on the caution that: "could this be offensive?"
if the answer is maybe?
then go with something else...
illuminati a thin veil to anti semitism
much thanks and keep up the good work super excited for live events

i'll just quote what is forum policy and i would think so too should be dev blog policy.

The very terminology is offensive to many and completely unnecessary. There are many of our players who are Jewish and they should not be subjected to phrasing which makes them and others feel uncomfortable.
I knew i would be flamed by people for posting this but i could not just let it pass...
sorry for detracting from the topic at hand which is live events....
going forward i will just petition things like this then complaining on the forums...

I'm totally unsure if you're trolling, but if you read the article you linked, you'll see the quote says "The alleged continued existence of the "Illuminati" looms large in many... crank anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic writings". You know that the "anti-semitic writings" are targeted *against* the (defunct since the 1700s) secret society known as the Illuminati, which is in no way connected to our development team except in name? Should Team Superfriends change their name because of the comic covers found on Superdickery? Or should we all worry much less about team names and focus on what the teams are outputting. BTW, if you're erring on the side of caution: "could this be offensive? if the answer is maybe? then go with something else..." you might want to have a look at your own name there bro.
Actually I happen to be jewish...
Look at it from my perspective... Here you are waiting for a new devblog cuss you love this game. And then at the end of it you see the symbol of your religion in red on top of a one dollar bill with the six points being devw heads all looking rather evil.
How would you feel... All im saying it was in poor taste to post that image...
In no way did I say you guys are bad or antisemitic... I think its merely ignorance on arrows behalf at the pic... I mean a megan David over a dollar bill...
Its a blatant stereo type that jews control the world threw money and some secret cabal... Ffs...
Im sorry that you are upset that I thought the image was offensive... But I will not say sorry for the fact I was offended by it. Ok, so you've corrected my spelling,do you care to make a valid point? -áThere are no stupid Questions... just stupid people... |

I agree antisemitic images have existed for alot longer than this image. But this image is anti semetic I can only assume your drunk... But yes please move past this and I hope going forward in the future your company will be more respectful of others religions...
I mean the swastika was around for thousands of year's before the Germans used it... So I guess thats an acceptable argument...
Just remove the image ane adl and benai brith does not need to see this. Ok, so you've corrected my spelling,do you care to make a valid point? -áThere are no stupid Questions... just stupid people... |
