I'm really not surprised to be honest. Hypocrites like them will do anything to further their cause. Organized religion is a vehicle of control for it's leaders, sad as it may be.... It's not that they have nothing better to do with their time, it's more that if they can cause a moral uproar/argument about a subject, then it's going to draw attention away from more important things.
An age old diversionary tactic :P The peons in the organization may actually believe the propaganda but then again; people who are "faithful" are far easier to manipulate than those who are skeptical.
There is too much faith in this world, and not enough inquisitive spirit.
Talking about religious groups in particular there, but that kind of stuff applies to a lot of organizations. People are paid to proceed rather than question whether what they are doing is right or not. Obviously the stuff in RE5 isn't racist, that's just ridiculous.
Yes, yes, yes.
And an example:
An article from wikipedia about Mass Effect:
"On January 21, 2008, a Fox News segment "The Live Desk With Martha MacCallum" discussed Mass Effect[74] with the heading '"SE"XBOX?' New video game shows full digital nudity and sex.' MacCallum stated that the game "leaves nothing to the imagination," features "the ability for players to engage in full graphic sex" where the player gets to decide what happens, cited critics as saying that the Mature-rated game is marketed to children and teenagers, and read a rebuttal from publisher Microsoft stating that the company abides by rating systems and provides monitoring tools for parents. Psychology specialist and author Cooper Lawrence and video game journalist Geoff Keighley were interviewed. The former described sexual content in video games as teaching their active users, adolescent boys, to consider women as objects of desire valued solely for their sexuality. She added that the game's player character is a man who decides how many women he wants to be with. Keighley focused on challenging the accuracy of previous statements, saying it is a choice to play the protagonist as a male or a female. He also described Mass Effect as having an optional, brief sexual situation as the culmination of a romantic relationship in a 30+ hour game. Adding to Lawrence's inaccuracies is the fact that the main character is not allowed to be with more than one individual, sexually and romantically. MacCallum and Lawrence admitted that they had not played the game."
