Cultural appropriation, as a "bad thing", is an inherently racist idea. Humans are minds, not DNA, and minds see successful ideas and learn them.
To say you can't, because your DNA is not regulation-approved, is grotesquely racist.

Good thing using mythological entities as characters in games isn't some sort of trend.
Like Amaterasu in Okami, or Shiva in every Final Fantasy ever, or the Greek, Roman, Norse, and Egyptian pantheons (all of which still have active worshipers) in a dozen games, sometimes as enemies (Titan Quest and God of War, I'm looking at you), or Bhaal and Tyr in Badldur's Gate, or Raijin in Mortal Kombat, or Jesus in Fist of Jesus. You get the idea.
Yeah, it is a good thing this isn't a well-established trend.

This is quite literally the most hilariously blind comment I've seen on this board.

I can`t figure this guy out. He could be a true hippie or a scamming self publicist. If you look at his Twitter, he has a scattergun approach ranging from the OP (nonsense) to including "true African religions" into Rio Olympics (dunno, maybe?) and banning child marriage (sure!).
Regardless, he seems to piss off people who piss me off -like Bible bashers and noted bigots - so, for now, I approve.

Here comes the culture wars. You can bet that if it was a Jesus skin things would turn out very differently. It's good to have majority religious status as opposed to minority religious status in the USA. That being said, I don't agree, in principle, that any creator should appease the religious feelings of anyone claiming offense.

LOL Blizzard goes way out of the way to make a "diverse" game and this is what they get for it. When will they ever learn, you can't ever appease liberals.
