[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.

I don't think we should have a Christmas festival due to the religious connotations. It's good for a company like bungie to have know company religion so having a Christmas festival would be retarded. They could probably just loophole it by calling it the snowflake festival or something and I'd be fine with it. But if anyone gets offended by a Christmas festival they're retarded.

Edited by Pure Potential: 10/29/2015 2:12:54 AMI don't think calling it christmas would make sense it would fit the Destiny chaotic and random story style. If you follow the story or dialogue it seems like massive parts of history have been forgotten. Festivals are fun but if it's just this event with a different skin it would be disappointing. Snow would be nice but that's a lot to ask.

I hope they do something for Christmas that's my birthday c:

Make it a holiday festival instead of a Christmas one. Problem solved
-
Not sure where you get this "some people are offended.." thing. A lot of posts in forums are saying people are against it and I've yet to see a single person. lol.

In destiny there exists a new world order. Religion is passé. Now you either new monarchy, dead orbit, or future war cult. Now go and kill some -blam!-ing aliens!

I'm not really a fan of Christmas to be honest. Not because religious reasons just because I don't like it. Seems to stressful and well... Snow that shit sucks. But I. All for a Christmas festival with neat little things to do

8 RepliesI think they got the term "merry Christmas" banned in Canada because all of the immigrants were complaining it wasn't part of their religion

3 RepliesPeople who are offended or "offended for the offended" just need to leave the planet... Please... Pretentious cry babies who find anything they can complain about to use for their entitlement. Weak minded pieces of shit.

The main people that are offended by this holiday either wipe their ass with their bare hands or think some alien race is going to come and save us. Who cares what crazy people like this think anyways.

7 RepliesEveryone gets offended by everything. Society is full of pussies.

5 RepliesEveryone who doesn't support Christmas in a game made by an American company, in which the vast majority of Americans celebrate Christmas, Christian or not, is retarded. Christmas hasn't been about Jeebus for like 100yrs. Sure, lots of religious stuff is put in it, but no one actually cares about that. Christmas is now more a time of celebration and giving and a fat dude in a sleigh giving stuff out of love

Well bungie is a american company so we should celebrate it our way.

4 RepliesEdited by Black Howling: 10/28/2015 3:55:34 PMWe once again live in the Rotten Age of Political Correctness. Everyone is offended by everything. It's also making a lot of scumbags and companies a ton of money... Unfortunately, it's looking like it'll have a lot more staying power this time around... P.S. I'm outraged and offended at anyone and everyone who replies to this, so don't.

I don't celebrate Halloween but there is still a festival so why not Christmas?
-
Happy Festivus... for the Rest of Us!
-
Who doesn't want gifts

They did not call the Halloween event Halloween, they called it "Festival of the Lost". Since several major religions have holidays in Dec and Jan they can do a generic winter holiday theme.

3 RepliesWould you be offended if it was Allah/Krishna/Zeus/Yahweh or any mythological god?

Get over it life isn't fair.

I'd enjoy a Christmas event, odds are though it'll just be a winter themed event to make everyone happy

Come on guys! Let's put a big ol [b]Christ[/b]mas Tree right in the center of the Tower! Oops,did I offend someone?

1 ReplyImagine how the poll results would look if you had an option for just "No" or "No. I'm not offended, but a christmas celebration does not need to be in destiny"

Please snow in the tower! And a Christmas (or seasonal) tree! :)
