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 would be “just fabric”, but its removal carries political weight, and denying that is an exercise in fallacy.
Flags exist as symbols. That is the entire purpose of a flag. Therefore, removing a symbol is a symbolic removal of the thing it stands for. The Pride Flag symbolizes LGBTQIA+ rights. Therefore, it’s removal symbolizes removal of those rights.
Edit:
The context was @[email protected] making the case that the Pride Flag has no meaning, and is “just a flag”.

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

A flag is more than a graphical element on a slide, you know.
