Snakes?

So do we also complain about FF making Shiva female when the mythological source of the name is male?

Or Hraesvelgr and Ratatoskr being dragons when in Norse mythology they're an eagle and a squirrel? (And don't get me started on Odin.)

First I wanna understand why OP thinks that because the devs are "from east" that gives them some sort of immediate cultural sensitivity to hinduism when hinduism is mainly concentrated around the indian sphere of influence but the devs are from japan.

The word "was" is carrying the world there. If you think that past influences inherently move the needle towards more cultural sensitivity then I'm going to have to disappoint you. Judaism, christianity and islam all share the exact same roots but the seperation between them is unfortunately pretty harsh in many occasions.
Yes there are people practicing hinduism in japan and while ~500k people is no small number, compared to japan's population of ~125 million that's not that many.

Awareness and number of current practicioners not correlated. it’s about education. With so many Sanskrit words in game, they would have hindu employees for sure.

What about the other part of my post, the one before I talk about current practicioners. And if you're right and they have a bunch of hindu employees, then what's the problem?

why are you even discussing after displaying your hindu hatred in previous post, i am not here to explain things to you, stop trolling.

Listen, that's just my personal impression about you specifically. All of your posts give me the impression that you are not who you claim you are and instead someone from a western european cultural background trying to stir up drama on the forum (which is based). From the start, the weird generalization of japanese people and hindu people as 'from the east'. The idea that the depiction as snakes is inherently something evil (which would perfectly fit into a christian background). Calling hinduism a pagan religion also feels to me like a very western viewpoint, it's essentially otherizing every non-abrahamic religion. Historically this term has a lot of negative connotations.

Pointing at the attack on charlie hebdo also feels very weirdly specific as does this weird sentence about:

There are war happening, terror attacks for cartoons, who knows what happens for drawing Bahamut.

Is this supposed to be a warning? I dont believe you are trying to threaten anyone here.

They rever everything in nature, snakes, monkeys, elephants etc etc, doesn’t mean others will represent them as monkeys in a video game.

This is a small thing but: what about you? Dont you want to include yourself in that statement? Given how personally invested you seem, I find it weird that you arent even including yourself here.

How to reveal without a doubt that you're just trolling in one easy step: attempt to gaslight someone else and accuse them of trolling. Not that it wasn't obvious from the get go, but here we are.

its that "cultural sensitivity" of the OP at work there by grouping a large region all together and thinking they are one...
