Are Some people seriously against a Christmas Festival because it would "Offend some people?"
[u][b]EDIT[/b]: Third option is "I'm against it because I think I'm defending would-be offended people"[/u]
[b]EDIT2[/b]:
58 people are "offended" by it.[b] EDIT3[/b]: 125 now (67 person increase)
3538 people are for it. [b]EDIT3[/b]: 7098 now (3,560 person increase)
[b]One thing we can all agree on is we need:
THE TRI-ANNUAL DIABEETUS FESTIVAL WITH WILFORD BRIMLEY AS BEETUS CLAUS.[/b]
Are Some people seriously against a Christmas Festival because it would "Offend some people?"
I see some people arguing against a Christmas festival because it's "offensive" to some.
Seriously?
Have we gotten so sensitive that nobody is allowed to have any fun or do their own thing anymore without crying "but it offends [i]me[/i]"
This mindset is toxic. You aren't allowed to do anything you like anymore without some random kid saying "You can't do that because I don't like it too." If [i]the whole world[/i] doesn't agree with you, we just can't do it.
Forget that the [i]majority[/i] celebrates the holiday in some way.

7 RepliesI'm happy people are agreeing that this would be cool, but when the same poll was made for Ramadan, the majority said no. It's disrespectful, depressing, discriminatory, and unjust. Why? Cuz them damn Isis muzlum tururists are guna kill us all? No. Not all Muslims are terrorists. In fact no [b]true[/b] Muslim is a terrorist, because Islam is a very peaceful religion, yet when people see Isis on the news they suddenly think that all Muslims are evil. Which would be like saying that all Jews rip you off, or all black people will rob you. Doesn't sound very nice does it? How do you think the Muslims feel?

Isn't that the way the nerfs work?

1 ReplyIt's because the new generation are Gen V. 'V' for VICTIM. Everything makes someone a victim of something.

It wouldn't be Christmas .... period. It would be some other festival that has its own traditions and things in the destiny. -blam!- everyone who's gonna ge offended over a festival in December in a V I D E O G A M E!

2 RepliesWhy does it have to be Christmas? Why shouldn't it just be winter holiday related. It's a moot point anyway since they'll never do something specific to a religion. I can't recall any games doing something Christmas specific. I could be wrong but...
-
I'm not even Christian and I would love a Christmas festival.
-
-blam!- everyone who it offends, it's an American game, made in America, and last time I checked, the majority of religious people in America are christians. Do a Christmas festival. If you're offended by that, you need to lighten the -blam!- up and stop believing the world should cater to YOU and YOUR beliefs. The majority outweigh the minority, get used to it.

Just make it a HOLIDAY festival.

How about a "winter festivle" that takes place from December 20-27 (or whatever the reset is within those days and last for a week) and their could be festive decorations and up-spirit music and we will be given a gift from the city below for our hard work.

[b]One thing we can all agree on is we need: THE TRI-ANNUAL DIABEETUS FESTIVAL WITH WILFORD BRIMLEY AS BEETUS CLAUS.[/b] And since Wilford [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIUdssOAn0s]is unavailable right now[/url], I volunteer my services in his place.

It has nothing to do with offending people, it's just that by having a specifically Christmas themed event, you're suggesting that celebrating Christmas is more important/valid than any other holiday around that time. A "festival" of some sort is different and universal, Christmas is not celebrated by everyone.
-
I think they're gonna put their own twist on the holiday season, like Festivus from Seinfeld...
-
If you are going to have a Christmas festival then you should also have it for Hanukkah, kwanza, and new year :)
-
Make it a Winter Festival. Then I'll be happy
-
I don't see why everyone cares all of a sudden. It's a video game guys, lord knows your faith shouldn't be tested over a video game..if it is then that's pretty sad.
-
Who cares? Why does a holiday offend you? Literally has no effect on your life. If they did a festival for Ramadan or some other holiday it wouldn't bother me. I'm in the US.

1 ReplyI am a Christian. I am against it because the Muslims would have to have one for their holidays, too. And I am def. Against THAT. Ahem. Let the hate flow, the ROP is a cancer.
-
I highly doubt it'll be a Christmas event, but more or less a winter event. Ribbons and such, but nothing like Santa Claus or anything of that nature.

9 RepliesWhy do we always have to celebrate a Western holiday? It's not always about us.

I mean I'm all for a Christmas like festival. Like the Festival of the Lost... It was basically Halloween but it was unique
-
People are offended because it belittles their religion in some way. "my religion is better than your religion" "my religious holiday is better than your religious holiday" The actual truth about Christmas is that not that many people celebrate Christmas for the birth of Jesus anymore. It's more about family get together and getting/receiving presents. Santa's presence is much more popular than Jesus because it's much more fun for the kids and the kids happiness is what matters most. Only strict religious families do the whole celebrating Christmas around Jesus's birthday. Mostly everyone celebrates Christmas whether they're religious or not cause it's just a fun holiday to do. People wanna respect other people's religious beliefs and so everyone says happy holidays to be sincere and kind to others personal ideals.

I'm not really heavily religious so any festival would suit me.
