WTF, is all I can say.

Recently had a look at the custom hero feature in BFME2, and of course my first hero was to be a white cloaked wizard who I'd name Jesus. As any logical person would like to see Jesus walk the ground converting the masses to your cause or destroying them with wizard blast level 3.

To my surprise and disgust, upon completion of my character creation, the name had reverted to "*****". Surely not, I thought to myself. So I tried, Christ, God, Mohammad, Muslim, Satan, and they all were censored. Mormon, and Messiah however were allowed. I'm yet to try Jew, or other religeons yet, but holy ****, this is ridiculous.

**** you EA, I want my Jesus hero and wizard blast level 3!

Learn Voodoo Powers
Voodoo is real. The power can be yours to control all others.

I stuck with messiah for now. He runs around going "bow before me!".

Still wtf do EA think they are, politically correct crusaders or something. =/

How about "Siddartha"? (or whatever the Buddha's name was)

Mefustae · **Reply #10 on:** March 20, 2006, 05:12:25 am

How about Shiva? Or Kali! Or Vishnu!!

an0n · **Reply #11 on:** March 20, 2006, 05:25:31 am

Jesus and Mohammed (various spellings) are perfectly legitimate names.

Flipside · **Reply #12 on:** March 20, 2006, 05:39:41 am

Oddly enough I know several Muslims called Mohammed.

Oh, and I'm going to hell for this one...

That's not Jesus. It's Sean Bean!

You need to pick your deities carefully!

"He's not the messiah. He's a very naughty sith lord!"

Martinus · **Reply #16 on:** March 20, 2006, 07:25:20 am

Figures.

My friend plays Counterstrike using the handle 'The . Jesus'. Obviously because nobody ****s with the Jesus.

He's never had a single person tell him it was inappropriate or offensive.

Grug · **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2006, 08:56:39 am

Yeah, I just can't get over it. Absolutly stupid IMO. =/

Yeah I went with Jebus for a little bit too.

LoLs @ Flip.
