Shadowstalker16: 100% of Hindus offended by latest Dragon Ball episode :

Its the same guy from the Overwatch triggering and SMITE triggering before it, as well as others. He still talks as if he talks on behalf all Hindus, and his organization is based in the USA and its members are tied with various Hindu nationalist groups in India.
That guy is basically a religious fanatic. SMITE's depiction of hindu mythology is actually rather accurate, and Overwatch makes reference to all cultures in one way or another.
Klumpen0815: Isn't Ganesh one of the most peaceful and chilled gods around?
How does he fit into Dragonball?
Shadowstalker16: In reality, he is not a god of destruction, but the god of beginnings / new endeavors. But the gods of destruction in the anime aren't purely destructive either, as in they aren't evil / malevolent. Even then, the guy is saying that inappropriate (mercantile) usage of deities or concepts hurts the devotees, which is a double standard considering there have been kids' movies and cartoons where Hindu gods are characters and many series of literary works with non canon interpretations of Hindu epics, and ofc no religion is reserved from being artistically interpreted, especially in the USA where this guy's organization operates. DBS is still worse than DBZ but I hope it doesn't get cucked.
Wasn't Ganesh also a destroyer of obstacles? Basically a god that got rid of things that obstruct one's progress. Or was that another deity?
