    People don’t need your approval on how they spend their money. Nor do they need to justify their choices.

      True. Just be aware that when someone says “this looks like bigotry,” if the only response they get is “I don’t have to explain myself to you!” That doesn’t make it look less like bigotry.

      Any reason at all would have looked better. Or just not replying.

          Sure you can when their reason for not buying something is clearly bigotry.

              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.
