    Just like rainbow crosswalks the flag itself isn’t that important, it’s the fact they’re being removed that’s the problem.

      Not for me. (Edit: As long as they don’t change the actual functionality to be LGBT. I just say I don’t care about the flag itself, as long as we can fuck whoever we want. And they seem not to change that. It’s really just a flag…)

            .ml usually sucking cock on Putin and Xi, two leaders/dictators known for their inclusiveness of the lgbtq+ folk

              Oh, I was not aware of that. And I am not against LGBTQ+ people and I’m also not for Putin or China. And to be honest I never saw such comments in our community.

              I’m just saying, that I personally don’t care about the flag itself in the game, as long as the functionality itself is preserved. I don’t want to have a compromised game, but a flag is not compromised to me.

                Good. But this isn’t about you, it’s representation of minorities that they’re slowly removing and undoing years of blood, sweat and tears shed by people willing to fight.

                  My opinion is about me. A flag in the game has nothing to do with blood, sweat and tears of real life. It also doesn’t change the functionality, you just don’t get the flag in the game. Which is not important to me.

                    Except it has, the flag was only there because somebody fought for their right exist. But the more you write, the more you fit in with .ml

                    I don’t know if you’re being genuine, but it doesn’t matter to you because to you visual or symbolic representations of the validity of LGBT++ lifestyles don’t apply to you.

                    If you really don’t care then you can just say nothing. But because you’re saying something it actually sounds like you do care — about preserving a corporation’s right to remove a sign of queer representation from a game.

        You don’t see the removal request as an indicator that there might have been similiar attempts during actual development?

              That’s not what is reported and is something you read into and we don’t know. If there are other requests, then its a different topic. I am strictly talking about the flag, nothing else here (as it is reported).

                  Same could be said about you. Calling people in not good faith because they disagree or don’t believe without evidence isn’t good faith either.

                    There is evidence, you just chose to ignore it. You want proof by pointing at instances in the final game, which will never exist, but the burden of proof rests on you just the same.

                    Actually, the same could not be said for Creamfresh. You’re the only one defending censorship and suppressing an entire group of people and using seemingly logical arguments in bad faith to make your appalling stance sound reasonable while dismissing any rightfully upset counterarguments. Grow up.
