Bish.8627 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Goat heads aren't instantly Baphomet. Blind faith is a burden sometimes jeez. Reminds me of the time a religious friend of mine told me don't play Skyrim, it is the devils game because they have dragons, and dragons have horns! Baphomet also has a human body, sometimes male, often depicted female, that is nude. I don't see that being added anytime soon. Enjoying dark or mysterious art doesn't suddenly make you a satanist. I have some imagery similar to that original Baphomet image tattoo'd on me, but I in no way worsip Satan, or any gods for that matter! Stop looking for problems where there are none. This thread just might make me spend money on this game for the first time since loot boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roksiel.6123 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Even if that was the case, I don't see the problem. You do know that some players like this sort of stuff, right? In fact, I'm not going to buy any new mount skins unless they release a raptor or something along those lines that looks truly demonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And am not an occultist. At any rate, I think the new Springer mount is a PUMAT of a goat, a kangaroo, and a Charr. Needs more Charr, though.

You both come off as 80's Satanic-Panic soccer moms and you're both equally absurd in your reasoning. To the point where one could throw around accusations of multiple accounts - were I not far too classy to do such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please--just don't. Just because demons are depicted with goat bits doesn't make all goat animals demons. Stop mixing clearly animalistic fantasy depictions with **truly evil demonic representations.** And as atheist since birth (my parents asked me in 3rd grade if I want to get christened, I declined), I really had to smile about that portion! "Oh no, truly evil demonic representations!!!" Is there anything like that anywhere on this world? Demonic representations? Truly ones? When I read my power bill, man, that is truly evil and demonic, but not a goat and a pentagram or such things like certain animals or random symbols.

ovinnik.9216 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Man, I wish. Imagine being given a piggyback by a naked dude with a goat's head. He'd steal your soul -- and you heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarktastic.1027 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Religious discussions really shouldn't be part of gaming forums. Symbolism from one culture can be twisted by another to be "evil." Symbols aren't inherently evil. Take a look at a certain symbol used extensively throughout Germany during WWII. One which had (for thousands of years) previously been used to represent peace and prosperity in countless cultures. Now I can't even post a picture of it on these forums because my post will get removed. The fact that your satanic symbol looks like a goat with a pentagram stuck to its head has to do with christianity's early interactions with pagan cultures.

Lobo Dela Noche.5127 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Thank you for pointing out the thread on Ars Goetia. That was really funny. If anyone thinks that some name or image in GW2 is going to be the kicker for going down that weird path you have some major issues yourself. On a side, I think I'll get that springer skin and get creative with those dyes. Thanks for pointing it out for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
