Is there some kind of a bot or something that could cross reference all the titles and references for international sensitivity?
I lived in Serbia for 26 years during wars and bombing campaigns and stuff. But not a whole lot of the world was concerned. Some were making fun, in Hungary they were selling “hard rock cafe, Belgrade” T-shirt’s.
Anyway, lots of people die around the world at the hands of psychopaths every day. I think we should be changing the titles, graphics, gameplay etc so to not be offensive, if towards no one else, at least our American friends.
I almost went to that damn garlic festival, decided against only last minute when I found out the lines are so long
Could you localize the title? Show a different one if someone’s visiting from the US? Both the words “might” and “right” are very controversial here today.
Thanks for the idea, I think I could do something like that, based on the locale, show “Friendship” instead of “Might” and “Magic” instead of “Right”, I think those two words should have little political relevance, what do you think?
Both magic as well as friendship are themes of the game, so I don’t think it would be very misleading either.
I think that this is an excellent solution!
I’d maybe change the loading screen to include more genders and replace the combat system with a dialog system. The US needs much more dialog, much less (preferably none) combat. All localized of course. Wolfenstein had to do something like this for the German market, but i forgot the details, it’s this place overseas somewhere, next to Europe i keep forgetting that people live there.
I honestly didn’t know that this can be so triggering. I never ever look at the title of the html pages, but visiting this thread today got me all stirred up. This event happened like an hour drive from where i live. Thanks @titansoftime for being on top of things and pointing this out, web 3d graphics should not be a place for this kind of stuff.
Oh man or like my art history books! I literally burnt all of them mentioning the ancient egyptian goddess Isis, when the terrorists started trouble in the middle east and endangering our freedom! I like art and architecture history though, i wish they rename her to “Britney”, ruins of the “Temple of Britney” The ancient Egpytian godess Britney, it sounds so much better and doesn’t invoke fear and terror.
People’s kids got murdered, but I’m glad you find this amusing…
My intention was to let the author know of something so they can be aware. Should have been a DM in retrospect. I have no intention in getting in an ideological debate over political correctness on a webgl forum.
And I appreciate that. I don’t think people here find the event amusing, but we all have different coping mechanisms and humour is one of them.
On my personal behalf, I apologize for any comments that were perceived as making light of those who have suffered as a result of the aforementioned tragedy.
