    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.

        Your reply is in bad faith and quiet dumb.

        1. I am not defending bigotry.
        2. I was not talking about cancelling the game as non intact, but about the gameplay, story, characters and interactions being intact.

            1. No, you hallucinate something into. I’m not a defending bigots just because you say it.
            2. No. What I say is, that removing the flag will not affect gameplay, story, characters and interactions and stay intact. The cancellation is a different process.

            Your reply shows clearly that you don’t understand what I’m saying. I tried to explain it for you again.

              In denying the political and social significance of this clearly bigoted move by EA, you are defending bigots. That’s no hallucination. Then again, of course a .ml user would argue in bad faith.

                  Do you deny that denial of the political and social significance of this political action taken because of bigotry is a defense of bigotry? If so, you are relying on fallacy.

                    Removing the flag is overblown in my opinion. To me, people put too much weight into this, if everything else is preserved.

      Can I ask you something else: Would you consider the hypothetical game “intact” if intrinsically planned queer content was removed from the game after a totally hypothetical request?

        As I said, if they removed or changed gameplay, story or characters to censor, then I would consider a problem. I never had a problem with removing flags that symbolize something specific (also in different context). But the hypothetical game where queer content was removed is not what I was initially responding to, that is something you made up for our discussion. I’m just talking about the removal of the flag being okay.

          I think it’s incredibly naive to think that when EA shit their pants because of a rainbow flag they will stop there.

            It might be, but that is not my argument. I’m literally talking about the flag. If we talk about more than that, then its a different thing.

                  The removal request was political. That is the same as if someone were to tear down the flag of a nation from a plaza. Sure, it was “just fabric”, but it carries political weight, and denying that is an exercise in fallacy.
