Apple Removes Civil War Games From App Store Over Confederate Flag Usage
MacRumors ^ | June 25, 2015 | Staff

Posted on 06/25/2015 7:54:45 AM PDT by C19fan

Apple has removed seemingly all Civil War games from the App Store for displaying the Confederate Flag in "offensive and mean-spirited ways," our sister website TouchArcade has learned. Apple has sent a removal letter to affected developers to inform them that their app does not comply with Section 19.1 of the App Store Review Guidelines.

I used to think this mob rule was for political correctness but no more. There’s just not enough public angst over this flag thing to warrant the big companies jumping on the bandwagon (btw, bandwagon is a propaganda technique).

Anyway, there has to be other reasons for these fools to join in the insanity.

With a CEO who is member of a government-certified victim group this comes as no surprise.

Do you really think so? Once you give those out to destroy our traditions any opening at all, they just push harder. These folks see compromise as weakness, not as reasonableness. Our pols are either too stupid, too removed or complicit in this re-writing of our culture and history to stop it.

ISIS destroying thousands of history of culture and tradition is doing exactly what the thug culture is doing to the US. Tell me, which of these things will be back when it all dies down?

Apple, like many other large corporations, is run by leftists.

For leftists, the ultimate good is The Revolution. As is written in the Book of Alinsky: The Issue is never the issue. The Issue is always The Revolution. Everything that came before must be torn down.

Leftists are never satisfied, can never be satisfied. No matter what you give them in the name of "compromise", they're always demanding more. At some point, they demand what you cannot give ... that always ends badly. Leftists are always perfectly happy to kill you if you don't comply.

Be aware. Be prepared. Do not hesitate.

What about all the nazi, soviet, and other emblems on wargames?

Even, what about those nasty French emblems in Napoleonic wargames?

In fact, why don’t we make a list of players who play the WRONG side in wargames, and also fix the games so that only the RIGHT side can win?

Let’s not do things in a halfhearted way!

I’m gonna demand they remove the Hammer and Sickle from all the WW2 games. My family suffered under the Soviets.

Gotta say, reading the comments of MacRumors readers - not noted as being a hotbed of conservatism, mind you - the response to this is a pretty much universal “are you ****ing kidding me, Apple?”
