    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.

                It is, factually, a political action. Whether it has significance to you doesn’t change that.

                  It is, factually, a political action.

                  A meaningless action in a videogame, where all other rights are preserved.

                  Whether it has significance to you doesn’t change that.

                  Bad faith argumentation. I can have an opinion without being in the club.

                    A meaningless action

                    We have gone over why and how it provably has political meaning. It is, per definition, not meaningless.

                    I can have an opinion without being in the club

                    This is irrelevant. I didn’t say you cannot have an opinion. I said that your opinion on the quantitative meaning (severity of the meaning) of the action has no significance to the qualitative meaning of the action (the fact that the action is provably anti-LGBTQIA+ in intent).
