A former BioWare employee says that EA’s new management wasn’t on board with the developer’s inclusiveness.

    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…)

      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.

                  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.

                  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.

                    I don’t have to proof the opposite something you claim. The article does not proof your claim, nor is it subject of the article and my comments. I am just talking about a flag or something flag like shaped coloring of LGBTQ+. And for me it doesn’t matter if the flag is removed or not, as long as the game is intact. Don’t call people by doing claims you cannot proof.

            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.

                  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.

                    That’s not the issue. I would have an issue if they removed gameplay, story or characters involving LGBT+. I’m just saying the flag being removed doesn’t matter. And there are other topics where removal of flags doesn’t bother me, even if the content is applying to me. And yes, I’m being genuine here and do not act on bad faith (as someone accused me off before here). Let’s be clear: Removing LGBT+ lifestyle and content in the sense of freedom to do what you want is important to me. Not the LGBT+ content specifically, but I don’t want games to be compromised in their vision. And I do not think removing the flag does compromise the vision.

                  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

                    So you don’t know, but believe in something without evidence. The only thing this post is about the flag, not about the functionality. If they removed the functionality, it would be not okay for me. But a flag in the game doesn’t matter at all for me.
