A genuine question, why is that a bad thing? The worst thing that could happen is someone would get curious about the word and try to learn more about it, consequently reading about Hindu mythology.

There's tons of material in Hinduism + Buddhism would be amazing if adapted in books/movies/shows/games, but it hasn't happened because everyone seems to be so touchy about it (despite the fact that the religion itself doesn't have a singular book, god or commandments specifying what's good/bad).

Also before the usual retort comes back, my family is Hindu.
