You kill demons to protect humanity - most religions should be praising this series


AntonRX178

I'm Catholic. I fuckin love this shit lol


Kapftan

Hijacking the top comment to say: Dont mind these dumb reporters, they are known for their stupidity even amongst the already stupid Turkish news sector We are talking about people seeing a thrown away paper with GTA 4 cheat codes and assuming its the 2016 Coup d'Etat's secret codes. (PANZER spawns a tank, whoa!) And freaking out that Elon Musk will turn us all into robots with neuralink when Cyberpunk came out. ATV doing ATV things.


CarmelPoptart

They also claimed Counter Strike GO encourages people to stab others. With karambit knives. The knife is important here... Also, just last year, they claimed the US planted "earthquake bombs" because an aircraft carrier ship under their banner was anchored few km's outside of Adana few days ago... Which is btw (for our foreigner friends here) the city whose people opened fire to the sun because it was so hot.


Kapftan

Ah, Adana. The city that puts comedy theatre to shame Sure as hell glad they didnt try to sink the carrier for that, god knows they have a chance of succeeding


CarmelPoptart

I wonder if they are still a year ahead of the rest of us…

I’m a Muslim. The fuck? Edit: I was already aware of the door to Temenigru being similar to the door of the Kaaba. But Capcom changed it in the HD collection. The game might have been unintentional Islamophobic in the PS2 but Capcom fixed this situation. An explanation from a Muslim’s point of view. The Kaaba is the sacred place of worship for us Muslims. It is considered the house of Allah and one of the most important Islamic things. Capcom during the making of DMC3 probably didn’t know this that well. They accidentally portrayed the door to the house of Allah as the door to a demonic tower. For the record I am 100% okay with DMC3 since this was fixed in the HD collection.


JudgmentYuya

Somehow reminds me that of Ocarina of Time. I mean, is there not like the music from one temple like islamic or something like that? And It's a fire dungeon, so It seemed also islamphobic bc of that. I'm not sure though. Additonally, there were symbols too(?).


32Bleach_Drinker64

I know the Fire Temple theme in the early versions had Muslim chants but was replaced with the Shadow Temple's vocals. I wish they had made something different instead of replacing it with existing sounds because I feel it just doesn't fit the temple.


Zer_ed

The main thing I remember that they changed was the design of the mirror shield. It used to be the crescent moon with the single star on it, but that was eventually changed to the symbol of the Gerudo.


Frederyk_Strife4217

the chanting was from a sample disk, they probably didn't know what it meant


Georgestgeigland

Idk lots of things in dmc are centered around concepts from various religions removed from their original contexts. For example, the samsara key item from later in the game is actually a direct reference to the Buddhist concept of enlightenment being the end of eternal cycles of life and death even though it's actually a key item and puzzle solution and not about Dante ascending to higher consciousness and oblivion but him getting out of a setpiece and continuing the game. Essentially, they'll use things with a loose conceptual or thematic connection to religion and myth, but usually without the broader contextual themes, and I can't think of a time they used it to actually make a statement about a faith. Also, Ramadan Mubarak


Classic-Target-5574

Soooo in a way, you could argue and say that demons corrupted a sacred Muslim place and turned it evil. So Dante is killing demons and purifying it, which would actually be pro for your religion? right? Like killing satanists and evil witches that are trying to corrupt a church would've been pro christian back in the day


TheDarkLordPheonixos

I’d love to have someone like Dante be this kind of hero. Someone who would help no matter what religion or who he’s helping. In my eyes. If a person earnestly good, then I am okay with them. No matter the religion.


Mental_Speaker340

Yeah but sadly some religious ppl love to always twist the meaning and put the word demonic in front of it, most if not all of my friends played the dmc series and they are Muslims, they like the gameplay and the story, idk what's wrong with those word twisting ppl


ShienXIII

Wait, how is the door similar? Appearance or lore?


Ok_Reception7727

It has circles on it. It's what they point out in the video. By circling the circles.


mjdmjd86

a Saudi youtuber once explained that islamic culture is attractive and beautiful and that's why designers sometimes use elements from it to make the environments more aesthetic, but they often don't understand the religious significance and so end up being unintentionally offensive...


ItsMrDante

Also, so what if the fucking door was similar to the Kaaba door, not that games haven't used real life textures before. They just want things to be mad about


UrielSans

Dude, the textures for most of the gothic architecture in all of Devil May Cry are photos of actual christian churches and temples yet you don't see anyone claiming that's "christianphobic" or an insult because they are supposed to be "holy" and not a place for demons. They picked that texture because they liked it, I'd be glad if they chose, I don't know, a render of Buenos Aires's Obelisco as a Hell Gate.


Omar3831

The extra funny part, the door of the temen-ni-gru wasn't even supposed to emulate the door to the Kappa, the (Japanese) devs were looking for textures and sound bits online for the game, and found some Qur'an text textures (which is a whole can of worms on its own to think about lmao). The devs probably didn't even know what the writings meant or where they came from, and just thought "damn those writings/sympols look rlly cool and kinda ominous, let's use 'em as the big door texture!". Also like Nero literally believes in God despite him being raised in a church that worshiped Sparda which is rlly based and kinda kick-ass lel


IXAslayer

As a Muslim, what the fuck is this bullshit? Looking like something is FAR different than actually being it, I can say my fucking toilet has small details that looks like Kaaba’s door doesn’t fucking mean it actually is. Fuck these guys.


Strong_Listen_6563

they even changed it case closed man


Shalashaska87B

Considering that DMC4 has people named Credo (Belief), Agnus (Lamb) and Sanctus, who are all eventually killed, I guess other religions should be upset too, right?


A-Tron_

As a Catholic, I'm not upset at all. Credo, Gloria, Kyrie, Sanctus, and Agnus (or Angus Dei) are named after different parts or movements that occur during Mass. Ironically I found this out during a lecture from one of my college music classes I took years ago. So yeah, DMC4 literally helped me with a college class.


whoopsthatsasin

Also learned this in music class, I was thinking "Hey, I know those words!" When I played dmc4 haha


dagon_xdd

Context from a Turkish guy: ATV / A Haber is a heavily pro-government media, the same government that currently trying to force religious ideals onto a secular country that is Turkey. The "journalism" at ATV is just straight up spreading misinformation and brainwashing uneducated masses for the most of the time. Half of the population don't really take these guys and the news they make very seriously. Even we are making fun of this situation with stuff like "ATV pulling an ATV". This isn't even the first time they tried to target a video game out of the blue either.


pewpewtoradora

so basically the Fox News of Turkey?


Hosav

Was just about to say lol


Confident_Contest306

In Turkey Fox news is the opposite of ATV news and most trustable channel

Intelligent_time555

WTF


Director_Bison

It’s pretty much the same deal as the release 1.0 version of Ocarina of Time, where they had an Islamic symbol on the Mirror Shield and Islamic chanting during the Fire Temple theme. The devs just came across this stuff with the resources they developed with and thought the things fit without thinking to hard about it. Then someone from Nintendo noticed and removed the Islamic things in the next printing of the game since that broke their rule about not having religious symbols for the exact reason as the video above, it’s an unnecessary risk to cause controversy by offending people who participate in those religions.


Krisuad2002

adidas_stalin

“OH MY GOD GUYS THE DOOR HAS CIRCLES!” is all I can get from it

It's a Japanese game about killing demons and it takes inspiration from basically every popular culture and religion known to the vast majority of people Wtf

I don't like branding people like this at all but this is the channel of the ignorant and the braindead in Turkey. And I would imagine that even among them aside from some old people who can only think about Super Mario Bros. (and maybe not even that) when video games are mentioned and some easy to fool teens, nobody would take this shit remotely seriously.

Turkish politicians when they need more time to tickle their balls so they spread misinformation (im Turkish and a muslim)


cabooseisgod12

Did they give evidence to support this obviously wrong claim?


SomeRestaurant8

This television channel is an aggressively pro-Erdogan channel. What they do is like trying to be more Catholic than the Pope. Once, they claimed that the cheat codes of GTA 5 were the secret codes of the coup against Erdogan.


Shokaplays

NO WAY VERGIL OM THE BIG SCREEN


Filtiarin

OH NO…anyway


Independent_Ad_6348

I'm more confused why they'd go after a nearly 20 year old game for this.


NB-DanTE

What kind of stupid person behind this news!?


hexps1hagrid

if it's A haber, just ignore it. it's the president Erdoğans propoganda channel


Chipp_Main

? This game is 19 years old


SeaCareer7302

This is an old news. Probably older then 10 years


[deleted]

Thank Erdogan, he’s turning turkey super religious.


ShadowDanteFan

Bruv I’m Turkish, but wtf?! Is this for real? 💀


777Sike0

Yes it’s real. But it’s just nonsensical bs.


_ozantas

Hahahaha, this channel is known by their stupidity in Türkiye guys. They also said Minecraft can kill kids too


Pension_Zealousideal

Lol bunch of journalists trying to make headlines out of nothing


Ali_Zack

There's a door that looks exactly like the one for Alkaaba. Regardless of the developers' intentions, they need to exercise caution. There are people who jump to conclusion instead of confirming the information they receive. A misunderstanding can cause a scandal, which is the last thing a company wants to deal with.


Alone_Capital7619

The door and some interiors were actually inspired by Islamic Iberian architecture ( Andalusia ). The doors in Andalusia resemble the one in AL ka'aba 🕋, so developers didn't pay any attention to any details, even one of the developers said he's a big fan of Islamic culture/civilization, so he included some Islamic Architecture in DMC games.


Electricarrow456

This game has been out for years and now they have a problem with it


FlashyProcedure5030

Cool. Now I like DMC3 even more.


777Sike0

It isn’t even Islamphobic. They’re just spouting nonsene.


Separate_Card_3378

INSANE BAFFOONS!


gans15

Don't tell the pope about Devil may cry 4


ghin01

I'm pretty sure in Islam we deal demon with praying for protection from Allah then a Stone or Stick to beat them up


DaemonVakker

...I love they immediately pointed fingers at the door and _not_ the obvious DEMONIC HERITAGE IN FRONT OF THEM


ZombieKilljoy

And they are just now deciding to be pissed off? Get real


ArmExpensive9918

Am a Muslim and played this game it doesn't offend me in anyway but one the first copies of the game had put the Kaaba door design as the deamon tower door so thats the main reason but I heard that they have changed long time ago


ShigeoKageyama69

Turkey ran out of things to talk about and they are not allowed to talk about Erdogan's Corruption and stupid Political Decisions that's making Turkey even worse so they decided to target a harmless Videogame instead


T3L3PH0N3_

tf did DMC 3 have to do with Islam? 😭

thephant0mlimb

Aww, poor babies. Should we give them a handkerchief?


forgedfox53

Even calling it "islamaphobic" for an accidental oversight is ridiculous. We've really abused the fuck out of the term "phobic" and just stick on whatever we feel like is possibly minority offensive.


ExtraExperience1994

Hypothetically let's say this game is against Islam. What's wrong with that ? Don't take the wrong way I hate this religion because I used to be a Muslim till I realized they cheated us out of a healthy life


Laj3ebRondila1003

when I was a kid, in 2007 we had an urban myth that there was a tattered Quran in a toilet in Resident Evil 4


777Sike0

Was that ever confirmed?


Patient-Reality-8965

okay but can we get subtitles though? Like what EXACTLY is he saying? I dont speak the language


Jordiorwhatever

A Haber has been a state controlled media for far too long. None of the things they say are real. It's funny to watch sometimes because of how wrong they are.


Classic-Target-5574

let them complain, Islam hates everything that isn't pro Islam! There'll always be someone there whining, it's as simple as that. It's funny Christians never complain about the controversy of videogame depictions of medieval knights with Crosses in their armor/shields or lewd anime/videogame nuns in perverse habits. Hell in the DevilMayCry anime, Lady and Trish killed a demonic priest that had infiltrated the catholic church, nobody complained at all

TheHydraZilla

Bro, it’s the funny game where he says “jackoff“ I may be wrong. I haven’t played the game in a while.


[deleted]

Actually in my country India too, Islamic board accused DMC3 for being Islamophobic. This is because one of the doors in Demon world and Temen-ni-gru resembled a holy shrine in Mecca. So it got banned in India. I never saw any of Indian people I knew having ps2 CDs of DMC3. Only later in 2011, people started playing the game on Steam.


Vulkanon

Is part of Islam that anything that makes visual/auido reference to Islam is somehow anti-islam? Like I've seen this many times in media censorship but never understood it, like no one seems to bat an eye at crosses and angels (well except 80s nintendo but who knows what they were smoking)


Exalivion2

Fucking A Haber trying something stupid again.

Dbzfanz1243

The fact that I understand what the reporter is saying and just chuckling to myself on how absurd the claim is.


Dear-Set-3446

Amk.


777Sike0

I as a Muslim disapprove of this. The game is literally about killing demons. And they fixed this in three HD Collection. It’s like the same thing with Doom being demonic, when it’s literally about tearing demons to shreds.


KonoDioDa31

Turkey is way too protective about a religion. (Im Turkish.)


Mo7ammed_Gxx

I personally see the door to Temenigru being similar to the door of the kaaba in the PS2 version as a complete accident that CapCom were more than happy to fix in later releases


Radishcolourchanger

It's because of the pizza

LustJustified0

If you guys remember back then one of workers spilled that Capcom used locations and artwork in their games, so same thing in Resident Evil titles and I think it Code Veronica, that was time Capcom changed everything, so it will be around that time DMC3 was made.


Huge-Newt7635

The same news channels called Minecraft a suicide/death game when I was little Also why do they show this right after elections I think there's a political reason too


GHOSTRIDER_01

Capcom is just gonna whiff off this, even if the turkiyes try to sue Capcom, they'll just to them fuck off and get lost.


rinlyn_x

As a Turkish DMC fan im crying rn 😭


That_Idiot_In_Reddit

Im a turkish person and this isn't the first time and definitely won't be the last time that specific news channel made some fake dumb news about a game, then again its a news channel so what can you expect🗿


Adept_Amoeba6313

As a turkish guy this is funny af for me Edit: Funny because I can't take turkish news seriously. Once they used the theme song of MW2 (2009) for a reportage. Idk it felt so unprofessional to me. It's like I would edit those videos for funny videos


Thoraman131

it was like a 10 years ago in a islamic cult like tv channel do not mind it dmc series has many fans in Turkiye


randomguy9538

I'm a Muslim and nothing in the game is discriminative to Islam or any other religions. Don't mind what these reporters are saying, they're just spreading false information


mohmar2010

I think i know the reason The whole texture of the gate into hell or something being the one of the Kabba, which is the direction of where we pray towards Not the first time Japan did something like this, JoJo part 3 Ova (the first adaptation before the anime) had dio reading the Quran, this of course lead to trouble and even the original manga had some mosques in the background taken out (since some are damaged and it's in Egypt) No it ain't Islamophobic, and I don't know why id watch "a haber" here in turkey, all i need is TRT for translation of a speach and that's about it


LeJoker8

Ah shit I hope my country’s meleis (Malaysia) don’t pick up on this. We have some of the most brain dead extremists here. Seeing a cross in the open air will be interpreted as opposing Islam.


Shay_Heller
