I’ve been a longtime fan of rimworld and the new dlc, ideology, came out. I have a major problem with its handling of real world religions, my religion of Islam as well as others like Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism are featured as game mechanics and factions. They all have randomized names like the blue Islam cannibalism cult or the buddhist people’s nudist temple. I find it pretty offensive that I would have to fight other muslim factions in game and these factions often have beliefs (called memes in game) that are just contradictory to what Islam actually practices. When I bought this I was expecting something a little more secular. I wouldn’t have bought this knowing how my religion is treated as a tasteless game mechanic. I’m not gonna play rimworld again unless there’s a patch that removes all references to real world religions. Islam doesn’t need to featured in a game where the primary mechanics are death camps and cannibalism, it’s absolutely not okay.

Removes real religions
Adds Pastafarianism
calling pastafarianism not real? big cringe
I didn’t make the mod, but it just shows how much people don’t want this.
Yeah, I don’t blame them, using real religions was pretty tasteless
But calling pastafarianism not real is where I draw the fuckin line 😤😤😤
I have nothing against pastafarianism, I know nothing about it and have no idea why a mod replacing real religions with fake ones would use it.
its a meme religion centered around the flying spaghetti monster
meme religion
yet more insults
