I think i get what you’re saying and i also don’t care, but when a dev puts a flag in and people start getting weird about it then I start caring a lot.
I’m not queer, but I find throwing trans and rainbow flags around is a great way to get fascists and bigots and otherwise miserable people to out themselves.
Then it’s all equivalent. We agree nothing in the game is materially more important than anything else—it’s all just pixels and noises which trigger experiences in a player.
In the context of a video game it’s important to the video game and the people who make it and play it. In that context it’s a problem.

Just like rainbow crosswalks the flag itself isn’t that important, it’s the fact they’re being removed that’s the problem.

You don’t see the removal request as an indicator that there might have been similiar attempts during actual development?

Not really surprised given the instance you’re from.

I guess the .ml mob is trying to downvote you. Shameful instance.
