I don't know why that makes me the most angry out of everything in your post.

>HAHA, TIME FOR A LENGHTY RANT

Okay, /vr/, riddle me this motherfucker right here

Why on earth people still think that the Icon of Sin (or the Baphomet, because that's what it's actually supposed to be, since the "Icon of Sin" was colloquially named JUST because of the last level's name and nothing more) is Satan himself and you get to fight him in Doom 2 (or any other kind of environment, like Sgt.Mark's most recent custom WAD)?

Why, of all fucking situations in which you can encounter the Lord of ALL Hell, you should be fighting him while he's stuck between cables, tubes and a rusty wall while its forehead is exposed? Would a deity with such a legendary omniscience, stay still defenseless while you shoot military rockets at its exposed brain?

>B-b-but he spits demons!

NO, FUCK YOU, HE'S SATAN, WHY WOULD HE SPAWN HIS LITTLE MINIONS WHEN HE COULD GET OUT OF THAT WALL AND ASSRAPE YOUR SOUL?

Let's get some things clear. The Baphomet wasn't considered a *true* depiction of Satan himself until Eliphas Lévi made that occult book in which he depicts him as that humanoid goat with tits, wings and all that shit. While it's one of the most well-known depictions of the Lord of Darkness, it's not even regarded as the ultimate form of him in many other cultures.

In the Final Doom manual he's named "Baphomet", in TNT and Plutonia it's named "the demon-spitter" and "the Gatekeeper" respectively. NONE of the official games regard him as the true Devil, so what's on their goddamn minds when they decide to call him like that?

WHY?
