Comment on BioWare Was Asked to Remove LGBTQ Flag from Canceled Mass Effect Game, Report Says

Again, we have gone over the political meaning. The lack of change to gameplay is irrelevant. The political meaning of the action is the significance, not the evidence of that action to the end-user.

  If we speak about real world rights, then it would be significant. But in a game lacking a flag, I think is not important.
  
  Again, the censorship of the flag, which is a symbol, is symbolically meaningful. The degree of significance is not the subject of debate.
  
  The flag doesn’t matter, what matters are the actions and story.
  
  To the gameplay, perhaps. But I am not discussing the gameplay. I am discussing how the removal of the flag is symbolic of opposition to LGBTQIA+ rights.
