The Confederate Flag

Shit nigga I agree that companies like Apple distancing themselves from anything with the Confederate flag in it is a shit move, and specifically a disservice to the maker of Ultimate General: Gettysburg (which is a great game made by a cool dude). But its not an attack on freedom. So long as people can wave the flags privately I don't think its worth sweating about.
It's not something I'm mad at the government for, and I never said what the likes of Apple are doing is or should be illegal. It's their company, but it's still

What have we learned today?

Cocks, Confederate flags and George Lucas are @*Asterisk*'s triggers.
Life's too short for triggers.

They told them to take the Confederate flag out. The makers of the game told them, basically, to fuck off.

But they restored it unaltered.

My guess is this was some marketing tard's idea, and once someone without shit for brains saw it, they realized it was retarded and reversed the decision.

I guess we'll see what they do on any other stuff that got unfairly targeted by this BS.
This is indeed very good, and also something I somewhat expected. I'm pretty sure you could play Doom or Wolfenstein on a school computer during break if you want as well.

What disappoints me is that shit like this happens every single time there's a sensational crime of some sort. Like with South Park and the images of Muhammad.

Guys Star Wars did have rebels except they were fighting for democracy rather than fighting to marry their cousin and have slaves
Luke kissed his sister
George Lucas is a hero for removing this confederate filth from pop culture

I only brought up Star Wars as an example relevant to my position on the Confederate Flag. Can you please not bring it up again unless it's relevant to the thread? Or at least a funny joke?
 
Want to fly one on your own property? Be my guest. On government property? Fuck no. (And take down that bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest. The guy was one of the founders of the KKK, for fucks sake)

I just don't understand why people think it's such a celebration of heritage, when the flag has been used to represent such negative bullshit. Slavery, racism, lynching, the KKK, traitors, etc. So many hateful causes, but people are all like, "IT'S SOUTHERN PRIDE, Y'ALL!!!" Pride in WHAT??? That you're proud you fought against the US? These people also seem to be the first to talk about their patriotism -- but they're flying a flag that was used by people who wanted to LEAVE the US. The Confederates were traitors. And don't kid yourselves that it wasn't about slavery -- Alexander Stephens, the VP of the CSA said as much in his "Cornerstone Speech", that the cause was founded on the notion that blacks were inferior, and that the white man had a God-given right to own slaves.

I don't want to ban people from flying it on their own private property. You want to do so, go right ahead. I'll think you're a racist and/or stupid fuckwit, but hey, go for it. But as soon as it goes up on public property, that's where it ends.
(There's this teabagger in my neighborhood who hangs up various flags -- hung the flag upside down back in 2008 after Obama was elected, the Marine flag, the Gadsen flag, etc. She once had the Confederate flag up. I was like, bitch, you live in PITTSBURGH)

I keep bringing it up cause the fact that you think what George Lucas did is immoral IS a funny joke :story:
 
I absolutely support the removal of the Confederate Flag and Iconography in many of the places where they currently stand, and even the renaming of places, if that's what the voters want.

Again, I'm using "immoral" in a very broad sense of the term. It's sort of like how you can use the phrase "rock" to describe the Rolling Stones and Nickelback, or use the phrase "game" to describe Red Dead Redemption and Duke Nukem Forever.

So are you saying you dont believe Nickleback fucking rocks? I was on your side until you said that, too far man. They make songs that respect Marines, songs that respect wolves, and countless songs to game to. Nickleback is a treasure, and I demand an apology.
