Your argument would hold more weight if the terrorists were white and committed the act in America. As it stands there is really no correlation between the two. The only people upset about it all talk about the fact it's portraying a white cult which is hilarious considering these are the same people that go on and on about PC culture and SJWs ...

I just think this is a narrow view of the situation and of the way these people take in these sorts of things. In the view of many of these people's it's the Muslim extremists that are the problem. Seeing a Muslim extremist attack in the news will obviously just reinforce that idea in their heads, which then makes it even harder to accept seeing themselves being portrayed as the enemy in media. I get that this is just a matter of opinion and there's no way of telling just how much, if any influence the attacks have had on this particular outrage fest, but to me there's a connection. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. ...

I never said the game had anything to do with Muslim extremism anyway. You must have misread. My only point is that they don't see themselves (whites) as the enemy, or as terrorists, and may find it offensive that they're being portrayed as such while those they see as the real enemy, and actual terrorists, are running amuck IRL. Yeah, video games don't always portray real life and they shouldn't anyway, but we're talking about Internet rage and a game series comprised of mostly hardcore gamers.

Looking it up Capcom said that they never changed anything about RE5 after the criticism. That they had people in Africa looking at the demographics there (I seem to recall most the enemies in the game being black or Arabic in the towns and primarily black in the more rural villages) and reflected that in the game.
Ironically whining about the forced diversity seems just as dumb as accusing the game of glorifying white on black violence. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

Children of God (had their followers rape and molest their children) The Branch Davidians (Waco siege) People's Temple (Jonestown mass suicide) Those are just the heavy hitters with big known stories. There are several Christian cults out there around the world. You also have cults like Scientology as well that aren't associated with Christianity. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

Not offended, but i do think its an extremely stupid theme for a Far Cry game. Completely forgetting about Islam and the Middle East, there's so many other cool places they could have taken this. Isnt Far Cry also supposed to be about the environment and animals? What the hell kind of animals could they add in, domestic dogs, cats and pigeons? Even if they went out on a limb to add bob cats and the occasional bear, those pale in comparison to Primal and the previous Far Cry games.
I thought it was rumored to be in the Wild West, that would have been pretty cool. Forgetting going back in time for a second, all these places have potential: South America, Russia, China, Mexico, Australia or an arctic environment like Alaska or Siberia. ... Copied to Clipboard!
