- lupusreal 2y ago> (except the middle east)! Indeed. Such displays aren't meant to change what people believe, only to make people feel good by affirming what they already believe. In places where the majority don't feel that way, the display is omitted. It's cynical pandering, not earnest activism.
- mikrl 2y agoI remember in the last year or two, a lot of fury about a mod that de-DEIed a AAA video game. People were asking what kind of monster would do such a thing and it was pulled from the hosting site, but it turned out the modder just enabled the Mideast localization for American versions of the game, to make the streets of NYC more decked out with US flags than they were in the US localization. So, who’s the monster? The modder for distributing a patch which flipped an internal switch in the game, or the people who put the switch there in the first place?
