I'm hoping this post is more informational, than probelmatic, or dramatized. I think the irony of me revisiting this game, and finding there to be a voudo event is pretty fun. With how small this game is, I doubt I'd find anyone else who's haitian, as am I however something about it does rub me the wrong way.

Of course with the event ending soon, it's far too late for anything to be done now, so I just wanted to take it as a time express my opinion, and educate others. Personally I feel as if this shouldn't have been a theme for an event.

Voudo is a closed practice, commonly seen preformed amongst haitians, those from lousiana, new orleans, ect ect. One of the first things you notice me saying is vodou, instead of voodoo. This is beacause the term is considered highley offensive, and the prefered spelling is vodou.

The practice is aready demonized, and misunderstood as it's usually boiled down to something "scary" ontop of the fact people don't do further research to understand why they use the objects they do. For example: Vodou dolls aren't even that commonly used within the practice, and when they are it's not some manipulation tool you stick pins, and needles with!

Another thing that confuses me is the amount of tribal accessories in the event shop, when things such as "ritual face paint" and "nose bones" aren't something seen in vodou practices. Theres even a pelt listed as "black magic" which I find directly alarming when black magic is a negative term used to describe vodou.

On another highly concerning note, (I will not say who, or where I found it, as I'm sure they didn't know!) I saw a member contemplating using real lwa symbols on a design, as being influenced by this event which is a HUGE no no.

Anyways, thoes were just my thoughts on the event. I hope this isn't against any rules. I just wish the event took a different approach, or wasn't done at all!
