How can IRA Fighter be seen as appropriate content for this game?

The IRA were a terrorist organisation responsible for the murder of 100s of innocent people. It is very offensive to have this in the game. These bastards bombed my home town in the 70s. Who ever decided to include this wants sacking!

That's like saying we shouldn't play games or watch movies that includes nazis because they killed millions of innocent people.

Its not appropriate to use it to celebrate st patricks day. Would you be okay with 911 bomber as a playable unit?

Honestly, it wouldn't bother me. It's just a game. Not like I complain playing as terrorist in counter strike. Almost every game these days have some moral gray area.

It would be ok to have u.v.f, u.f.f, u.d.a, l.v.f, r.h.c fighters for the 12th July celebration?

Yeah we don't need to start this again. It is a war game. It's sad that your taking a game that serious. Your angry because a game put a fake little unit in and then you start talking about the real IRA. C'mon man, it's a video game. Nobody is talking about the real IRA, and all the bad they have done. Just have fun and play the game. You don't have to buy the unit you know.

Plus Funzio had originally named it Fighting Irish but had to come up with another name after nerfing the stats. Just a game move on.

����The Real IRA is a different group from the IRA, when I named loyalist groups I was being sarcastic����

I lived in the shadow of the IRA growing up in England in the 70s and 80s everyone in my age group were disgusted by the inclusion of this in a game. Ive deleted the game and I won't ever go near a funzio product again.

Its just a unit. Who cares.

If i lived in a crappy neighbourhood and gangsters or something were ****ing with people all the time i wouldnt be offended because there are gangsters in a game.

Its not like theyre saying their good guys or praising them or anything. That sort of thinking is retarded imo. But u already quit so w/e.

Indeed, I'm totally looking forward to some tasty (politically incorrect) North Korean units!

I was born and raised in Belfast were murders and bombings was a everyday occurrence it doesn't offend me it's only a game, if you feel that way about a game u should just lock yourself in a cupboard under the stairs and not come out??

What?

Underwear Bomber! They cold get a LMFAO looking character to "tan my cheeks" in multi-colored Speedos.

Btw - didn't we already discuss this issue of being offended by the IRA character on another thread that ended up closed?

I was the last post on that one before it closed - a clever post about living under a rock. Maybe I'll start a trend and close out this one too :)


******* Thread Closed ******** - LoL

Copy and paste it into google translate, should get a decent approximation.
