Satanic video games

D&D has demons (some of which make Pacts with people). Does that make it Satanic? No, because there IS no 'devil' in the setting unless we count Asmodeus.
However, you don't necessarily have to include them.

Forgot another one. While nobody seems to really care about it, Friday Night Funkin' (FnF) has demons in it. The Protagonist's Girlfriend is a demon, as well as her parents. There's also the character Spirit, who literally outright states he wants to posses the protagonist to escape(he's trapped in a retro video game). And well.... I don't think I need to say a single thing about Monster/Lemon Demon

He does **** like this:

But as this game can be played on Newgrounds, I think that alone speaks for itself.

I think those new and fairly popular games Penitent and Blasphemous are... well, literally blasphemous and satanic parodies of Christianity. The sequel to Stasis (an old point and click adventure game) also seems to be infused with horrid satanism.

Not to mention just about any horror game, including RE4 remake (what was a generic satanist cult in the original became an overt parody of Roman Catholicism in the remake).

The Roman Church got nips seething to this very day.

Very big battle between what's gayer the blasphemy or the "story driven" part.

I think a better argument for a game that is more leaning to satanic is one that attempts to muddy moral waters, getting the protagonist to find compassion in an evils plight or condition to which they join forces to combat another evil all the while building a connection that makes the protagonist almost view that initial evil as less or no longer evil. Those types I think are the real dangerous ones as it is a subtle means to normalize the acceptance of the evil.

I kind of see a lot of that in how media has progressed with various topics like sex over the decades, slowly pushing the limits, creating scenarios proclaimed harmless, conditioning thought for acceptance, etc...

Finished it. Wasn't worth the 4 hours or so. Worst part was the protagonist having an affair with a gypsy, because of course she does

Diablo is literally satanic, no clue why it's so popular or even acceptable to play. The gameplay mechanics are enjoyable enough, but why wasn't it a Warcraft spinoff or anything else that is more tasteful, and where such dreadful imagery wouldn't be present?. I am tempted to say that both it and Doom are products of the late boomer/early gen-x era where irony and "sticking it to the system!" were paramount. After all, your parents must have yanked you away from your favorite video game, dragged you to church and told you to behave!. Stupid mom, stupid dad, I'll show them. HAIL SATAN!, LOL!.

But I could be wrong, after all the Rock and Roll industry was heavily based in occult practices and beliefs (as were the Blues that inspired it). So there could be something else, but who knows. And despite the fact that you are fighting these demons and monsters, both Doom and Diablo are relentless in their violence and dark imagery. Even the front box of Diablo depicts a demonic character, snarling at you. A tradition that carries forward with every instalment. It cannot be good for the soul, and it in fact isn't. Things are never just as they seem, nor can you decide to ignore these elements as they will penetrate your subconscious mind regardless. Hollywood changed the West with their propaganda, yet we think video games can't do the same?. The only reason people are complaining about modern entertainment is because their intentions are very explicit and in your face, and the scary part is that many of these Youtube talking heads would defend "classics" like Die Hard to the death, when it in fact still contains numerous subversive themes and plot elements.

Bottom line; don't play Diablo.

Disagree heavily.
Diablo isnt satanic, its about a larger conflict between good and evil and what role mortals play on it. The imagery is striking, but never glorified, you are meant to fear and dread whatever is under that church. The way its shown that the weak and innocent suffer the most in these sort of conflicts, that power corrupts, that self sacrifice for something good and noble is needed, that it is not enough to vanquish evil once, evil always comes back, vigilance is important.

I dont think its a super deep game, but I dont see it as in any way satanic, as theres nothing there that glorifies satan.

That's the sort of blanket excuse fans give for the satanic themes of the game, if they don't dismiss the concerns regarding it outright. Regardless of what the lore does or doesn't say, the imagery contained within the game is not good for your soul by any means. Exposing one's eyes to images of gore, extreme violence, or debauchery desensitises the individual to such topics and allows them to accept even more degenerate things. It's just a fact, it's why Hollywood had come so far with manipulating the masses since it's inception.

The jew uses media to subvert Western civilization, do we think games like Diablo or Doom are any different?. If the theme is truly Good vs Evil, why not depict this battle in a better way, rather than making everything demonic and grotesque looking?. Of course, similar criticisms can be levied against other dark fantasy titles, but the point is explicit with Diablo and Doom in particular. They hold nothing back whatsoever.
