Are Some people seriously against a Christmas Festival because it would "Offend some people?"

I'm all for a Christmas festival!

16646

I would prefer we had none (because I'd be offended)

347

I'd prefer we had none (because I think I'm standing up for would-be offended people)

516

[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.

  • Just do a Christmas festival going off all the people I've met since the BETA they are mostly American, English, French, Australian, German. And we all celebrate Christmas as it is an around the world event

  • I am against any religious content in the game. Once we do Christmas, we also have to do Ramadan, etc.Let's keep religion in the appropriate houses of worship. I do think however we should have a new years event to welcome all the Xmas noobs :-)

    • I'm for it but they won't call it a Christmas event because some people don't celebrate Christmas it will most likely be called a festival of some sort like how they didn't call this one a Halloween event it was the festival of the lost

      Just call it the festival of giving where there will be a option to give gifts to others ( in no way trading ) just giving and only on festival approved items. Items could be all types of celebration themes rolled together . ( snowflake ghost shell for ex.)

      • I can see it now... [i]Cayde 6 dressed up as old Saint Nick and he needs your help to get his stolen present back (there guns, all guns). All you have to do is every strike ever made on Dec. 24th or pay a small fee 2500 silver to aquire all of Santa Cayde's arsenal of giving. Nooo, we don't have any wrapping paper! A time locked quest on the 24th appears with only 5 hours left to midnight. You have to hunt down the Grinch (aka the Cryptarch) at the bottom of the King's Fall raid on HM. After beating Oryx who is wearing a little red hat and elf ears from a full clear (no checkpoints silly), you find our Cryptarch in a green suit tied up next the loot chest. His heart grows 2 sizes and if you're luck (50% chance) he gives you the wrapping paper (aka engramer)... or you could by pass this timed event for a mere 3000 silver ;-) Finally it is time to save Destiny X-Mas! You sparrow race across all the zones dunking presents like rift bombs in another time locked event fromm (11:00-12:00pm pst) ideally not messing up the timming our rout as then you have to restart the current zone. You can at this point if you want to purchase a sparrow of twice the normal speed that looks like Santa's sleigh with a Cayde 6 thumbs up logo on it for a mere 3500 silver (you can buy this any time as long finshed the last two parts but the actual quest closes at midnight).[/i] Congrats you save Cayde's Destiny X-Mas! Bungie holiday event staff and there stock holder now come over to your house and make sweet love to your rectum for the rest of the evening if you bought all 8000 silver. [b][u][i]Merry Destiny X-Mas guardians! See you at new year ;-)[/i][/u][/b]

          Just like the response on the proposal for a Ramadan Sugerfest activity was so positively received here on the forums ???? If you oppose a Ramadan ...or any religious fest... you are a hypocrit as well ;-) Most people find perfect sound reasons to fulfil their own needs...but when it comes to those of others they dont allow them... I simply do what I like... weahter people like it or not... F*CK EM ! But I agree... most peeople are sheeple and very much effected by peer pressure and they lead their lives the way they think others see it should ... LOL ... people are sheep ! Look at the level of intelligence of the comments on this page... if I didnt know better... I swear most are mentally challanged kids of 10 year old ... (xmas has nothing to do with religion... if we allow xmas we have to allow ramadan.... Just a few examples of full retardedness)

        • I don't see why anyone would be offended. The Christmas that is celebrated has nothing to do with religion anymore. Unless there's some new religion about Santa Clause, elves & presents?

          • Not everyone celebrates Christmas. It's based on a religion. Not everyone is a Christian/Catholic. With that being said, I feel like most people celebrate Halloween, that's why there's a Halloween celebration.

            • I think there should be sections for each religion maybe? Like Eva Levante would be Jewish, Cayde-6 would have like a make up Exo holiday, Ikora Rey would do Kwanzaa. Idk that's kinda what I would want to see, just a suggestion.

              • I think the issue will be solved by changing the name. It could be called the festival of winter. How about the winter age or winter is coming. [spoiler]Game of Thrones[/spoiler]

                Christmas is a Christian holiday. (Stolen from pagans, like Christianity usually acquires everything - historically speaking.) As long as we get a Satanist holiday, then go for it.

                • Its not so much offensive as it is just discrimination, in the same way you wouldn't want a Ramadan event.
