people don't have to buy what you are selling. It's their decision, not yours.
I never said otherwise. I simply said "the reason they don't want to buy this isn't because of what the product is, it's because they are bigots who don't like the fact that there are people involved who promote inclusivity," and nobody has presented any alternative reasons.
People can absolutely buy or not buy whatever they want. And when bigots do things because of bigotry I can point out that bigotry when people ask why they are doing those things.
There is more to the world that your narrow US/Western politics. We just don't care to be part of your silly crusades when playing games.
I'm not the one curating lists to let everyone know some "woke" company worked on it. I just call bigotry when I see it.
Yet you've been consistently replying with nothing but weak attempts at evasion.
It's evasion because we don't have to justify our personal choices to you. You don't get to decide how we spend our money.
You have become such a slave to your corporate overlords, that saying "no, I don't want this" offends you.
And why don't you want it?
There's all sorts of things I won't buy and companies I won't purchase from. When asked why I'm perfectly happy to give my reasons instead of just saying "I don't have to and you can't make me!" Repeatedly.
The part of you don't understand is that people don't have to justify their choices to you.
You have been spending a lot of time "not justifying your choices" to other people, when no one has claimed that you have to. So what are you trying to achieve here if not "justify your choices?"
