The name God is considered vulgarity. Really? | Forums

So, I just made a Task Force and they rejected it because I said "God bless and have fun!". Apparently the word "God" is considered vulgarity by Ubisoft or the GR folks because once I removed it they allowed me to create a task force.

This is pretty ridiculous.

Should of used Allah.

We live in a very strange world that "god bless" is no longer allowed.

We live in a very strange world that "god bless" is no longer allowed.

We live in a strange world when people react in such an over-the-top and presumptuous way to what is a very obvious design decision.

The world "God" is not allowed, not because Ubisoft hates God and won't allow you to use "God bless" as you seem to think, but to stop people saying "God is a ****" and "God smokes weed" and "The Christian God is the least popular of all Gods", or even "My God is SO much better than the other God".

That kind of stuff might cause someone to get upset, and write a strongly worded forum post criticising Ubisoft. So, instead, it's easier just to prevent people using the word "God" when creating clans for a video game. Deal with it.

Cause he doesn't exist that's why


lol
Seriously tho, I think it's good they excluded religious terms. That avoid any "misuse" and other ideological "propaganda"..
Keeping this out of video games is a good thing.

It's becoming standard I guess. G rated filters are applied over in the EA Battlefront forums as well (but it IS Disney). I'd expect at least PG-13 here but I guess the irresponsible parents who let there 8 year olds play M rated games yet complain about the material on the game and internet have won.

I imagine that it is to prevent people using God's name in a derogatory way and causing offence to people, rather than anything that Ubisoft have against religion.

Um, that's a thing that Ubisoft has done with their games for a while now, particularly their more narrative-driven games like AC Unity and The Division. Ubisoft doesn't care about people using God's name in a derogatory way. They do it themselves. Go watch a video of the ending of GRW (if you don't care about spoilers). Look at the end of AC Unity. Check out AC1. They don't care about offending people because they know that their religious commentary that they force into their games is going to be offensive to some people.
