Thing is, religious symbolism is used to make things
to:
Thing is, religious symbolism is used to make things \"deeper\" or more ominous pretty darn often, and it doesn\'t mean that the writers have a beef with Christianity in general. I mean, the only thing it has in common is the terminology, and the rest is generic fanaticism- and being against fanaticism isn\'t a radical, subversive statement that needs to be buried under allegory. Same with the \"anti-communism\" thing. I\'d buy it if it bore any resemblance to, or referenced, real communism, but I\'m not seeing it. It\'s generic, extreme collectivism.
Also, if a few people accuse the devs of \"having an agenda\" but you can\'t pinpoint what that agenda even is except \"maybe these things, or a combination of them, or all of them\", it\'s kind of a weak argument.
But the main thing is that this entry comes off as you airing out your personal grievances. YMMV usually involves ideas/opinions that are shared by the fandom, or at least sizable parts of it. And when it has speculation, it\'s not meant to be one person\'s speculation, or even a few people on the fringe. Multiple people subscribed to the \"female characters were made ugly on purpose b/c feminism\" theory, but that got cut too.
If there\'s really more than a few people who have these concerns, maybe there\'s a place for pointing out that parts of the fandom feel this way/are having this discussion. If it can be more of a commentary on how the fanbase as a whole feels about it, and less a personal complaint, that\'d be way better; this YMMV page already has had enough instances of people putting entries here just to complain about what they, personally, don\'t like.
If it\'s a personal pet peeve, and you just want to vent, a review, or the forum, or the Darth Wiki, or maybe Headscratchers, would be a better place.
And the Collectors are actually pretty similar to the kett in some ways. They\'re only sympathetic because they *were* Protheans (but aren\'t anymore).
