    So, human rights stuff aside, how/why the fuck do we need a genderised solitaire?

    It seems to be one set of cards, as a part or a deck. Its pretty much a nothing burger.

      There was the whole thing about payment processors raising a stink because of Steam, which is comparable and I have no evidence Dementia Don simps were not somehow involved, since this was started via some republican christofascist Karen association. But even if that does not suffice it for you, I’m not wondering about to the present situation, I’m wondering about the situation of when (not if) it happens in the future.

      That was done by Australians and had nothing to do with the US government. Stick to the facts.

          “Non-traditional”? Homosexuality has been around and recorded since the Romans and even prior. 2000+ years isn’t traditional? That’s just as long as Christianity.

                      Clearly not if you think said “sexual deviance” should have its culture shuttered by state force.

                        Russia issued a lot of legal requirements that don’t make sense. For example they at some point asked more money than we have on the planet, from Google.

                        Complying with the law on a territory not controlled by sensible human beings should be considered questionable at the very least.

                              There’s no misinterpretation. You openly support the state banning LGBT expression. That’s a form of persecution.

                              If the government demanded that Christian-themed games be banned, that would be persecution to Christians. This is no different.

                              Why shouldn’t a Solitaire game be allowed to have LGBT skins or themes?

                                          Non-traditional as to the religion. Orthodox catholic church is fucked up in head, and lately been standing on a wrong side of many things. Even going so far to in-fight with each other for their statements. They are like The Mouth of Sauron - they preach on behalf of government and lately it feels that they spit to vile shit out of their mouth just to please their government.
