Apple Removes Civil War Games from App Store Over Confederate Flag Usage
- briandear 11y agoAre Nazi flagged games removed too? This gets onto an extremely slippery slope. It's funny how the left wing has no problem with burning the U.S. Flag but flip out beyond rational reason over a confederate flag. Does the Serbian App Store forbid games with a Kosovo flag? Or vice versa? How about Turks and Armenians? This can really get silly; especially since there is a stockpile of racist, sexist music being happily sold on iTunes. This is ridiculously childish. A flag isn't racism; people are racism. That psycho kid killed those people without regard to flags. Banning Nazi flags in Germany has done nothing to end neo Nazis. The inconsistency of this move by a Apple isn't surprising considering they condemned Indiana over gay issues but continue to sell millions of products in places like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. I love Apple but this political direction they're taking seems misguided and almost patronizing to me.
