The female Unitologist villain happened to bear a striking and very unfortunate resemblance to my cousin, who I love very much and who also happens to follow New Thought spirituality. She is a very gentle and kind young woman, and seeing this twisted unintentional vilification of her, let alone get killed VERY graphically, was what made me hit my breaking point and just hate everything about the modern shooter industry.
Coincidence as it was, in the moment it felt like an attack on my family, even if that was totally not the intention.
But I understand taking it out on MixerMike was wrong.
He is not to blame, the games industry is. Again these bullcrap focus groups seem to decide everything. New Age/New Thought is a very real and legitimate religious movement however comparatively small it is, and I find it incredibly unethical that EA chose to base their "religion of evil" on that instead of their NAMESAKE, Scientology which is in fact a very evil organization, that does terrible things to its followers and anyone who speaks out against it. Because New Agers wouldn't sue.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to playing Quake II and making my own Doom WADs. Id Software would never do this.
