I'm an atheist... I've got no dog in this fight, but the "crack the greater primordial piggy bank" message in game has a picture of a pig in a burka... I'm just questioning the optics. Anyone else pick up on this?

    It's remnant of Dust.

    So here's some wisdom for ya







    I mean not all piggy banks are actual piggys though? Remember when you maybe had that giant crayon as a piggy bank?

    Yea still technically a piggy bank by definition though.

    Op, such sensitive topics should be brought to kabam in a personal way, like send them a complaint via support.

    @klobberintyme said, this may become more complicated.

    I understand your concerns are right, but You could've contacted support personally and let them know about your concerns.

    Hands down the dumbest post I’ve ever seen on this forum.
    Maybe not?

    Should have clarified:

    Dust is a Muslim character. Muslim religion and culture have a specific viewpoint of pigs. Most importantly here, "Dust" is Marvel IP and thus Disney IP. "Disney game runs with insensitive Muslim image" is a headline Bobby Iger & co. could do without.

    This easily could have been avoided is the main point.

    Also, my portfolio contains 10 shares of Disney stock, so there's my transparency in this issue.
    This post gets a nod of approval.

    Head in hands.

    Op started the thread with “I’m an atheist”.

    Goes on to point out (rather tenuously imo) something that might be offensive to those of a particular religion.

    It’s hardly meant to be a Muslim dressed up as a pig. If that was the case, fair enough, complain away… but jeez, talk about overly sensitive. It’s obviously meant to represent an in game character.

    People looking for offence everywhere these days.
    Pathetic.
    This still isn't even close to the dumbest thing ever on here
    Right? I mean, there's all those 'take a month off from content and new champions to fix the bugs' threads for a start.

    The saga of redfire spending 60k on this game and his wife finding out and divorcing him via whatsapp or whatever it was might take the cake
    Pride month is coming. We're in for a whole lot of dumb posts from homophobic snowflakes.
    Last year was the hulking and Wiccan fiasco iirc. Yeah I can see this year beating that since it's gotten progressively worse on here since then with new champ releases

    Edit: oh man that was 2022. Time flies

    It's been brought up every year they've held the event unfortunately. We're probably going to see more of it. All these Herc stans don't know his history. I hope this year the homophobes take the month off.
