platedlizardSo, apparently the only 'generic' holidays we are allowed to have are Christian.
I mean, FSM forbid I dig up a Budhist or Hindu dragon or tree-related holiday to suggest a goddamn sprite for. No. Christmas, St. Valentines, and that Easter Festival of the Eggs thing were okay because 'everyone' celebrates them due to how commercialized they are so it isn't offensive (really? REALLY?!), but a non-Christian holiday is somehow horrible and would offend everyone.
I know what, here's a brilliant idea, why don't we either GET RID OF ALL religious holidays on Dragon Cave, OR celebrate a couple holidays from all the major religions.
But FSM forbid I suggest such a thing.

Date: 2010-10-05 01:08 am (UTC)I could accept the commercialization argument if DC celebrated, say, the Chinese Lunar New Year, or White Day, etc. But somehow the only 'generic' holidays are Christian in origin, and anything else is bad.
Anyway, I stepped away from the thread before I raged.
