Why do people think a upside down cross is bad?

[HisShadowX]

Its the sign of Saint Peter who started the Roman Catholic Church which was once a Jewish Cul worshipping the Rabbi Jesus Christ. He was put upside down showing he was the worst of the worse.

It's also used by Black Metal bands and for the common public to be shown as what devil worshippers use. Whether or not it is true I do not know the history, but if I would guess that would be the reasoning behind it.

You answered your own question.

This game does not take place in the real world. It's a cheesy B-movie-inspired horror title. 70s horror cheese has its own imagery and symbols.

The Catholic church is evil so it suits it well.

Problem is they think turning the cross upside down is something or a sign against Christ when it's not.

Turning the cross upside down IS a sign of the devil in the world of B Horror movies. Go watch a few hundred of them with satanic themes and you'll see it over and over. That's the world the game is in.

According to the the Bible, Peter chose to be crucified upside down because he wasn't worthy to die as Jesus Christ died...

It was adopted by various seculiar and non Christian based religions as an "eff you" to Christ. Symbols mean what people want them to mean. Doesn't have to have any basis on logic.

IE - Swastika was adopted by the Third Reich as a prominent symbol. The swastika is associated with evil, genocide, and that feeling you get when you know you're going to vomit, but it's just not quite there...

Some Native Americans believe it is a good luck symbol. (4 Ls. Love, luck, life, liberty, and many other versions and beliefs).

I looked it up because people seem to be obsessed with it. It seems common in fashion, even for total atheists. Apparently it means the anitchrist or something when upside down.

[Glitch Babe]

It doesn't have anything to do with the anti-Christ. The upside down cross was actually used by people as a more Christ friendly alternative to the upside cross. Its origins are Saint Peter asking to be crucified upside down, because he felt he didn't deserve to be executed the same way Christ was. Using it as a Satanic symbol is like using a non-inverted pentagram or even a Star of David as a symbol of Satan.

Indeed, the Swastika was around long before Germany was even a nation.
