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?

Edited by whoviantyrannus: 10/29/2015 12:56:19 PMDecember should be The Month of The Traveler where new stories are introduced, new weaponry, new gear, new everything. "The Traveler came to help us so we should do the same." Like the Festival of the Lost where you get candy, The Month of the Traveler is about giving, helping others, and spreading joy/camaraderie in-game. There should also be new holiday specific Bounties (idea: you complete one of the bounties by giving gifts/glimmer to the robots and people walking around the Tower or help them with specific tasks they cannot do on their own or even dancing/waving/playing side-games with a set number of other players). I have so many ideas for Destiny it's insane.
