Someone a while back took offense at the glyph pretender. The glyph is based on the Muslim declaration of faith, and he found it's inclusion in the game offensive and possiblt blasphemous. But it was huge no deal and he dropped the subject after a few emails, there certainly were no mobs involved. And a Hindu gentlemen was concerned about the Deva, since he found it disrespectful that people would be hitting and killing an image of a divinity. To the best of our knowledge no one rioted because of that either.

Most people are reasonable even when offended.

Well, no, but that's primarily because you still haven't added peasant infantry armed with torches and pitchforks to the game.

But there are!

Thralls! Vampire Counts generate them. Armed with pitchforks and all.
