    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.

              That is a non-answer to my question. I asked if you deny that denial of the political and social significance of this political action taken because of bigotry is a defense of bigotry.

                I think you make it more complicated than it is. I just don’t care the flag being removed and think people overact to this. Especially because the game didn’t came out yet. In other games where you can date LGBTQ+ games without a flag doesn’t make it less LGBTQ+. Having a flag in the game or not doesn’t change anything.

                  You do not care, perhaps, but your personal opinion on the significance of the flag in the game does not change the fact that its removal was political. The thing being removed was a symbol and the removal was political, therefore the action of removing the thing symbolizes (per the flag being a symbol, obviously) a removal of the things the flag stands for. Which are LGBTQIA+ rights.

                  Your personal opinion on the matter may be different were you a member of this minority. Either way, though, I have given you a series of axioms indicating that the removal is a symbolic opposition to LGBTQIA+ rights.

                    I think the removal of the flag in the game is a non issue, if everything else including all interactions and freedom is preserved.
