User Banned (2 Weeks): Misogynist Rhetoric

You don't seem to understand what I'm talking about? I've never said anything of the sort exists in this game. I've said, repeatedly at this point, purposefully making a setting where a Christian Pope-backed hunter is completely justified in putting down a monstrous "Witch" creature and the monster army she created (compared to real historical events of what actually happened and all of the terms used) leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And this same guy also did a lot of work both sidesing the victims of Gamergate in that posted article, including the lovely quote at the end stating:

"Here's to the hope that during its second anniversary, #GamerGate will already be a memory we're too busy to think about because we are playing and discussing fantastic video games — neither being shamed for it nor feeling the ideological agendas pushed down our throats".

That's not a good attitude to give victims of Gamergate (which were overwhelmingly women) as far as I'm concerned, but I won't speak for them.



Yes, I do! in fact, I know that witch was primarily a gender neutral term until the 1950s or so, with more gender neutral "witchcraft" stuff depending on the language and culture it was applied to (zangu, kalkutun, brujería, ect).

But that doesn't really go against anything I said. It doesn't change how people's depictions of witches are portrayed today. And when the (known) tallies were added up globally, about three-fourths of convicted witches were women or girls.

Then you will also know that In England, most of the accusers and those making written complaints against witches were women. And it still holds no relevance because I have yet to see a female enemy in the game. You have made your mind up on the game and I can't change it. Looks like you are on a personal "witch hunt" against it! lol! The game is good. Gunplay is magnificent and it is super impressive for such a small team. I'm done with this nonsense.
