I've spent the last couple weeks feeling like nobody cares about EVE anymore or that maybe I've lost perspective. New Eden seems full of complacent want-it-nows and yes men. But when I saw someone actually defending glowing Christian iconography 3x larger than a station, I just thought I'd give an enthusiastic response. I mean, wth.
I wasn't defending anything other than freedom of expression. It's up to you to be insulted or 'unimmersed' if that's a word.
To your position though, New Eden is populated by the descendents of Earth. I'm sure that all the 'Terran' religions made the transition to space and New Eden, so I'm also sure that you can role-play that into your reality and say "D#%med Christians, always having to make a statement!" in character and just move on. Having been role-playing for 35 years now, this is a pretty common thing you'll need to deal with.
Just to point out, the entire Battlestar Galactica line of Sci-Fi is heavily Christian influenced. Space and religion aren't necessarily separated and to ask them to be in Eve is probably unrealistic at best. |

You cannot miss it or opt out of seeing it. I mean, why do we fly spaceships in this game? Why not cars and buses? Because EVE is a sci-fi space game and to that end, immersion matters. Maybe it doesn't matter to you and that's fantastic. But I'm Yonis Kador and I can guarantee you, it ***** with my immersion. It's not like players have unlimited freedoms with speech in-game anyway. If that cross was instead a giant penis with dozens of **** jokes hovering above Jita, I'm sure CCP would remove it. In both cases all I see is someone taking a giant dump on the game I love and yea... that offends me. **** me for caring about EVE.
Weren't/aren't the Amarr Christian? Just imagine that some of their fanatics put up a cross. That doesn't really mess up the immersion then. Roleplaying and immersion can be fun, but it shouldn't go too far. Take that stuff easier, laugh at it and warp out. |

I don't much care for religion IRL. I'm quite against all of it. But the 'problem' of seeing big religious icons at any station is quickly solved when you warp away. EZ. It'll all go away in time anyway.
This is EVE
