Hello everybody, I wanted to bring a certain point to the attention of all haven and hearth players, and mostly the developers. In this case I will be talking about anti-semitism. I've been playing this game for quite a long time already, and I've been enjoying it quite thorougly, although it has its ups and downs. One issue however that has been tormenting me since the beginning is the pure anti semitism this game displays. I was normally too afraid to speak out about this, but considering the recent protests of cishomotransfox-gendered people and feminism, I feel like this is an appropriate time to get my frustrations and oppressed feelings out.
When I made my first character, I immediately noticed the horribly sexist act of this game having a male character. As this is a game made in 2009, I could understand it and refrained from acquiring PTSD, but as times have changed I am in utter disbelief about how the developers have not done anything to politically correctify their game. It is already horrible enough that men have more privilege then women do, now they also have to obtain their own geders in video games? My mother had to stop me from calling the cyber police, but that does not guarantuee that I will not be calling them in the future, just so you can keep that in mind ^^.
The second issue however, the most compelling issue with this game, is the sheer and pure anti-semitism displayed through certain objects, or rather the lack of these objects. We all know that atleast 6 million of the jews had to die at the hands of the evil nazis, purely because of their race and religion. Now this game is adding salt to that horrifying wound by not containing ANY objects related to judaism AT ALL. It is enough that they had to be prosecuted and kicked out of every country they owned, but we are living in the 21st century. Love, diversity and multiculturalism is our weapon to battle nationalism, yet these game developers seem to hold no interest -AT ALL- to help us fight a possible second holocaust. I have to contain myself to not put these filthy anti-semites at the same level as hitler and his nazis, although they certainly do deserve it.
And this all while the developers are located at the heart of the movements of diversity and cultural enrichment. Have you really not learned anything, at all?
