It's not like one of the things that Kali is a god of is sexuality or anything am I rite

I mean, the Devi skin compared to all the other Symmetra skins isn't as sexual, it still sexual, but unlike the other skins you didn't see a bit of ass from the side, but because this is a religious thing it is totally understandable. The whole Jesus stripper thing will offend a lot of people, and a lot of people won't even care, the people who will care the most is those people who tell us video games are advocating satan, and how Pokemon is teaching kids how to catch and enslave monster, those people will get pissed of the most if such thing happened.

Thats a bit of exaggeration of religious people and im athiest. Some people take their religion seriously and not all of them bash and fewer still in that heineously exaggerated way. For instance. In pokemon go there is a pokestop that has a pic of jesus on the cross, and it reffers as "cross guy". Now this offended my mother. That doesnt mean she is going to say pokemon is satnanist or harry potter magic is evil. All blizzard needs to do is slightly change a skin to not look exactly like their god. Body model can stay exactly the same. Its not like they screamed and picketed they simply asked.

Im a Catholic, and i met some people in my town who actually are against anything, especially when Pokemon GO! came out, im not saying everyone, but people will go that far. Going on about making a change to it, im not sure if i heard this correctly but it was stated that the guy wanted the Skin "Removed", and not because of it being sexualized, because some photos of Devi look exactly like the Devi skin in Overwatch. Rajan Zed wanted the skin removed for the reason that "the Devi avatar can be controlled, which is unlike the belief of Hinduism where devotees place their destinies in the hands of the goddess", so basically he does not want us to be in control of a goddess to do things in the game, obvious fighting and killing other players. The Devi skin being sexual wasnt mentioned but it could also be a minor reason of why they wanted it removed. http://topyaps.com/devi-skin-overwatch

Sucks for them because a lot of pokestops are churches.

Changing the skin would essentially be removing it. A game that had you play as jesus shooting stuff would still more flak then they are giving

*gets Jesus player model in gmod and kills stuff with it*

Thats not the same thing as blizzard doing it so why
