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”.
Political action doesn’t exist only when viewed. Political actions taken against the LGBTQIA+ community are still political actions taken against the LGBTQIA+ community, regardless of whether the game is on the market.
Edit:
The context was @[email protected] saying that the censorship was meaningless because it happened without the game being sold yet.
