Holiday Festival Controversy
I was on the forums today and saw two posts specifically about holiday festivals in the Tower. There were two posts that generated quite a bit of controversy, one that called for a Christmas Festival and one that called for a Ramadan Festival.
After reading these posts I couldn't believe how hypocritical and backwards some people on the forums are. Most accept a Christmas festival but are absolutely offended by the mere thought of a Ramadan Festival.
Have we really fallen so far? Posting inappropriate phrases to bash the Islamic faith and making jokes about terrorism. It really is a shame.
Don't give me the cop out excuses of that Christmas is more commercialized and makes up the majority, those explanations are complete crap, not everyone wants to celebrate a holiday with Christian roots.
I for one don't even think that Destiny has any of the faiths we have presently. They praise the Traveler as their Savior and the Speaker is sort of the Pope to the people in a sense. I don't Christmas exists. I do, however, think that having a seasonal festival of some sort would be great
TL;DR
[i]What justifiable reason can you give me for such a huge difference in opinion?[/i]
PS- for those that agree what do you think would be a good idea for a festival during the holiday season?

4 RepliesFestival of Winter: The House of Winter takes over every location for two weeks. Be careful about the 'snow' you find everywhere; it's actually crystallized Ether. Draksis Clause visits the Tower and gives presents to all the nasty little Guardians who betrayed the Traveler this year; good Guardians get a Black Engram. A special Public Event has Draksis Clause drop from the sky in his magical Skiff and fight you alongside Randolph the Red-Nosed Vandal. Win and he lets you loot his sack of presents. Lose and he puts [i]you[/i] in his sack to deliver to good Majors and Ultras.
