To all the people virtue signaling with "How would you feel if it mentioned a genocide". I survived the bosnian genocide of 92', what followed is some decade of religious and ethnic persecution, I've been beaten, spat on, had rocks thrown at me, all by the hands of catholic serbs. I would not have a problem with a genocide being mentioned. Hell, I'll take it one further, I would not mind a genocide joke. I'm indifferent to serbs broadly, and in a more general sense, I consume their media, interact with them normally, and some of my favorite singers are Serbs. A word, an act, or a statement, are only as offensive as you give them power. I am not dismissing the fact that there are people that find the word Kamikaze offensive, but I thoroughly believe that giving the word further power is the wrong step. I am adamantly opposed to removing the word Kamikaze specifically for this reason, this term is something that needs to be diffused, not something that needs to be empowered. To my people, the term Balia is equivalent to N-word for black people, it carries the same level of historically charged prejudice and offensive intent. I would not mind it being used in any game or work of fiction. I understand some individuals have lower disposition as others, so I can't expect everyone to come out with same level of tolerance as me from the get go, but feeding into the persecution syndrome rather than correcting it is the wrong approach. I am of the firm belief that actions such as call for censorship of any individual word are the wrong approach to a situation and will inevitably result in persecution of innocent people just living their lives. What comes to mind is a recent ban of a player in Warframe who said Limbo was Gay, the individual was homosexual themselves and were essentially banned for associating Limbo with themselves. I recommend anyone who is not familiar with it, to read up on Martin Niemöller's short poem "First they came". Remember, you may think you're being in the correct side, but correct isn't always right, path to hell is paved in good intentions.

This is something I wish I could take credit for. U bring honor to these forums soldier. Offtopic salutes you!

Guys, it really doesn't matter if that word is used as a sarcastic word in context. Because, in fact, Kamikaze is not just the stupid behavior of the Japanese military. It's not just the Japanese. In fact, the word "Kamikaze" is very complicated and sensitive for Koreans because the Japanese soldiers took Korean 17-year-old teenagers and made them commit suicide attacks.As I will mention later, Japan is idolizing these war victims.That's why there's talk about being careful with the use of this word. Some of these Koreans were forced to join the army and others joined the army for a living.For this reason, families who were victims of war were ashamed to live among the same Koreans. So what happened to 17-year-old teenagers? They were ordered to die. The families of these young men who attacked themselves didn't even know how this man lived or how he died. They didn't even know where he was buried. Japan, which made him commit suicide, honored him as a war hero and took him to their shrine. There was no consent from the bereaved family. It was revealed in Korea in the early 2000s. But this happened in the 1940s. And the Japanese government still has no apology for this past. The Korean government has also refused to admit that these 17-year-olds are 'war victims'.Now the historical truths are revealed and we are in the process of finding out that they are war victims. Kamikaze is not simply a word that can be used as a suicide attack battleship. It is not a war crime that only the Japanese military used, but an incident that took the aggressor and the colonized people and used it as a weapon of war weapons. But you guys use this word without thinking. Of course, Asians, except Japanese, are bound to be sensitive and complex to this word. I think you may be quite ignorant of the Pacific War and the war crimes Japan committed against the aggressors, but there are many interviews that come up just by searching the Internet as "Kamikaze Koreans."In fact, there are many colonial citizens who died from the use of Kamikaze. don't even know where they lived, how they were used in this war, and what their names are. And there's a lot of news articles that tell you why the word Kamikaze shouldn't be used recklessly, but you don't even search. I'll give you an example. Think of that word as 9.11. Imagine writing 9.11 instead of Kamikaze in that word. Are you allowed to do this? I don't want to take this example, when I think about civilian victims at the time, my heart aches and tears come out.I pray again for their repose. But imagine that the civilian passengers on the plane at the time were also terrorists and worshipped the victims who were used and killed. And the terrorists want this word to keep being mentioned. It's glorified, too. That's what happens to Koreans who are suffering from Kamikaze problem now Japan does not feel ashamed of Kamikaze, and instead tries to idolize and deify it, Korea is suffering from diplomatic problems. You also think of the word Kamikaze simply as a tactic of a Japanese plane attacking the U.S. military. I think Bungie actually used this word because he(she) didn't know how to express the plane with the bomb going down. I think the author himself(herself) wrote the word Kamikaze with light thought.That's why there was a lack of historical awareness. So Kamikaze is not the behavior of the stupid Japanese military that belongs only to Japan. There are also colonial victims who died of other causes (you can say it's our grandfather's generation). There are your grandfathers and grandmothers who suffered from the atrocities of the Japanese army at the time. I don't mean to use this word Kamikaze, It is advantageous only for a country to idolize this war crime to benefit from using the word Kamikaze without thinking. Now Japan is not ashamed to use the word Kamikaze. Rather, they want the word Kamikaze to be known and the war to be glorified more. It means they fought the right war.That's why diplomacy in East Asian countries is complicated because they're victims of war. That's why we don't get along well. They still don't think they are war criminals. I think they are poor countries damaged by the United States. Someone was talking about the Bosnian war, so did Karadzic become deified? Did the soldiers who massacred civilians become idolized? I know the right people are still solving the problem of war crimes, and by the right judgment, he is now serving a life sentence. People who have suffered from Genoside are still victims of people. However, Japan has not punished any Kamikaze commander, the ones who created the order, and it is now worshipping them Victims of war crimes also claim that they did so because they wanted to.I would like to express my condolences to your experience in the war. But I felt sad that your words could be taken lightly by the use of these words of war crimes. If you're going to use sensitive words to create a game story, it's important to write down what the word is and how the material is used. That's why you have to decide whether you can abuse this word or not and write it. We have to make a game. That way, we will be able to develop further and give the next generation or the current generation a proper perception of history. And a lot of people say it's just a game.There are a lot of people who say, "You're too sensitive, aren't you?" Can you say that to the Jews who suffered from the [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]? If the game is about Jewish camps, don't you think you should admit it if you want to check how it's handled and don't want it to be handled properly or if you want it to be revised? But your attitude seems to have a lot of people like that. I think people need to be more sensitive than war crime words and think about whether they can use them. Someone should be ashamed. You're saying 'Grow up' to this right intellectual. Pray for your grandparents who have tried to make world peace and the right history. Because their grandchildren are saying such stupid things. You're showing again that you're ignorant of history and only playing games whitout thinking. Bungie's quick acceptance of this feedback was more important than anything else and knew what the priorities were. 'They should have fixed the game system first.' You may be ignorant, but you shouldn't use offensive language anymore if you know it.

I take it that we should also be offended about Cursed Thralls, Fanatics, and Screebs? Almost anything in Destiny (or any other game) can be seen as offensive to someone if you [i]want[/i] to see it that way Grow up. Censorship doesn’t solve anything, if anything it makes things worse.

OK... NOW I've heard everything. Imagine being such a millennial that you're offended by a term used for SUICIDE pilots from 1941 that sided with THE AXIS POWERS IN WW2! HOLY SHIT. Also Kamikaze is an accepted dictionary term. Look it up. It's not derogatory, and if you're offended by it, well... get used to the English language snowflake.

You are taking it to personal it’s a video game about shooting space aliens

I am shocked you are so triggered over a word in a video game. But then again you take offense in the 3rd Reich soldier name(which is idiotic in my opinion)so you are kind of lost already

I think the issue is cultural. For most Americans it simply means suicide attack by crashing your vehicle into the enemy. A single word that fully sums up the concept of what's going on. You can't really misinterpreting the situation when giant kamikaze spaceship is said. We know what it is and what it wants to do with those three simple words

<Humanity and "noble" don't belong in the same sentence. We're about to get reamed by an Armada of [REDACTED] under the command of a literal God of Darkness that wants to remove sentient life from the universe and let everything else run its course until fate decides their time is up and there are people in-universe and IRL that would still legitimately join them even with the fact that they tried to kill us during the Collapse. The Cabal of the Red Legion are, quite literally, on their last legs. They have no other options, so they send their station crashing into Earth. The word "kamikaze" in this context is a reference to military strategy, not an offensive term.>
