[quote]Almost no one in the West had a clue about Izanami yesterday unless they study Japanese culture and mythology.[/quote] Point of order - you grossly underestimate the amount of weebs circulating in the US these days.

good F-Ing lord. the amount of apologetic's you are spewing is sickening. first off NO. bungie never removed the context of the name by turning into the forges name. infact it only Complements it. Izamani in Japanese mythology is a goddess of Death and creation. hmm. how fitting for a forge name as we kill things at the izanami forge in order to create weapons. and infact heres another mythology piece from Japan. Izanagi. Izanagi is the husband to Izanami. Izanami vowed to kill 1000s of his people very day, while izanagi vowed to see to it that 1500 would be born everyday, i essence placing a burden upon himself. pretty fitting that theirs a weapon in the game called "Izanagi's Burden" and theres a triumph for getting 500 kills with it in the izanami forge. similarly the other forges follow the same naming structure. Voldundr is a Legendary Master Blacksmith in Norse mythology. just as Gofannon is also a famous Metal worker. anyway enough with that. 1). Yes it indeed is the name of the forge in destiny. Literally see above and even see the name of it in game its called Izanami Forge. 2). Inari is not a very good representation for a forge. she does not reference forging or is even a crafter herself. shes more of a god of the harvest. not of smithing. the only reason it is a "controversy" is because abunch of dumb SJW's decided "hmm what can i get offended over today?...OH izanami spelled backwards is Im a [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]....and that offends me" literally no reason to change it ever. either now or then doing so is such a stupid thing to do. just because some people intentionally go out of their way to find something offensive does not mean it needed to be changed. 3). it doesnt even matter if people know Japanese culture or not. they should just see Izanami and think its its just a name they chose. those who know the culture and their legends would quickly catch onto the reference to the God of creation and death. those who dont know dont need to care. literally what reason does a normal thinking person have for spelling something backwards other then trying to find something to be offended about? btw bungie make a great choice by naming the forge after a Japanese goddess of death and creation since one of the BA's founding families were Japanese. wasn't dumb in any way. except to uneducated nitwits like you.... 4). right.....being so easily corrupted by abunch of idiot SJW's on the internet intentionally trying to get offended. to people not brain dead AF. they think nothing of the name other then "oh its just a name" anyway maybe you need to stop enabling these SJW's who made a big deal about this crap in the first place. when it's literally a non issue. so stop making excuses for SJW's to have a reason to shit on bungie over a name choice. you appear as a moron and a fool when you do that. SJW's are massive scum bags. and your post you made here only enables them to keep doing what their doing.

Make sure you donate to them while you’re there otherwise you won’t be able to act like you know things in the future. Inari Okami would be a perfectly good replacement. Either part of the name (Izanami isn’t her full name I’m just Wikipedia explained to you) would be a cool name for the forge and not mean anything read backwards in English. Since Inari was the patron of blacksmiths in the 15th century Japan the name fight as well as Izanami. By your criteria it would have been a better choice. Boiling it down to “some SJWs looking to get offended” is just your interpretation. I see it as Bungie was made a mockery of and for good reason. They chose to use a name and didn’t notice, or didn’t pick a better one before launch. As a company producing entertainment for a world wide audience it is their responsibility to catch things that can be interpreted as offensive and not implement them. You act like this is people reading all the names in the game to find something to be offended by, and that is a ridiculous premise. Obviously it was discovered shared and used to mock Bungie for their failure to be a responsible company. If some people find it offensive it (I don’t) then they have to accept that. Clearly you aren’t trying to talk about the actual situation or have an actual discussion about this. Your post is only barely a reply to what I posted and more of a rant about how much you hate SJWs. Completely worthless to a forum about Destiny.

Why should they have changed it [i]at all[/i]? Are people seriously that braindead that they cant comprehend a name? Who actually cares its 2018 not the caveman era. Shut the fuk up and play the game like damn.
