    shipping company should be able to refuse to ship products from businesses they don’t approve of

    Sure, I don’t have a problem with that. I would use another shipping company.

    What about either of those companies refusing service to someone because of their sexual orientation or gender identity?

    That is not remotely the same thing and a gross false equivalence.

    We’re talking about platforming incest hentai games and you’re making a comparison to serving Black and queer people. I don’t think we’re going to see eye to eye on this, have a good one.

      If you seriously don’t understand how often queer content is falsely linked to sexual depravity in order to censor it, please take a closer look at the rhetoric of the far-right in the United States and U.K. It is absolutely not a false equivalence, it is a very serious threat that other queer game developers are now very concerned about.

      No, it’s similar because it’s a business making a value judgement instead of a business judgement. It would be different if your exact argument hadn’t been used against those groups in the past.

      I doubt we’ll see eye to eye as well. I’m not okay with discrimination and I don’t think the beliefs of corporations matter, even when they’re being judgey about sex stuff I don’t understand.
