... Or the Church're causin with Resident Evil?

Who remembers the controversy that Resident Evil 5 led to accusations that the game would be racist? At the time, journalists, critics, understood the subject and another staff had nothing to do claimed that it was absurd a white protagonist killing of a legion of black. The issue has been discussed thousands of times for production, and I lost count of how many times Jun Takeuchi gave statements on the issue (if I was tired of reading about it, imagine how much he was tired of responding). In the end, close to the game's release, little is heard talking about it, but there is still (va) a hint of controversy: Many people believe that Sheva might have been inserted as a second player to drown out those issues, as well as the insertion of enemies of varying ethnicities.

This time, there is a racial issue that appears as pebble in the shoe of producers of the series, but the religion. Soon after the release of RE: The Darkside Chronicles last week, three British members of the clergy said that the game is promoting occultism and glorifies violence, "If we had fun with that, we open to influences that put us at risk. "

In response to statements by senior religious, Leo Tan, one of the accessors release from Capcom, tore the verb and considered atidude clerics absurd and it would be "typical rumors generated by religious hysteria" and that "most of the characters in the Resident Evil struggle against evil, not the supports. Still, the most controversial phrases, the accessor that "it is very easy to sprinkle and judge video game players so stereotyped."

Despite statements sharp accessor Capcom, he played a very important point, and that should be his main argument: Resident Evil is a game that puts players in the position of someone who fights against evil and not someone who does evil . Like thousands of other video games, RE creates an alternative world, a fictional story and an adventure that allows people to take the place of heroes, not villains. For any normal person who sees it in a healthy way, RE is fun, and just.

Debating about religion is tricky, but there is no denying that the statements of members of the British church was somewhat thoughtless. There are thousands of entertainment formats based on terror, with scenes of violence and others, including exploring the occult. It is the freedom of each one, idependente the form of thought, religion or belief to use this as a means of entertainment or not.
