I'm very comfortable with games that display the Nazi flag, why shouldn't the Confederate flag be different?

  Are you in post WWII Germany? The justifications for Apple's or Europe's limits on speech are wholly unaffected by any one person's feeling comfortable with it. That reasoning aside, I think that ignoring or changing parts of history that some find uncomfortable, even if they evoke strong emotions, seems like a dangerous game. It seems wiser to draw the line at "all speech ought to be protected from those who have power to control it" and then make thoroughly thought-through exceptions with well-grounded and regularly reevaluated justifications. edit: markbnj makes a good point, that whatever the justification for Germany's limits on free speech are, they do not apply to a game trying to reenact historical events https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9779899 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9779899
