I don’t think an actual Jew would equate a religious symbol with a swastika

But I do agree that religious imagery should never be in public

I just hope the very level headed decision by Microsoft to remove the imagery is going to be mistaken for their tacit approval of the link that dude shared.

It makes sense Microsoft did the thing and removed it, the linked article is … political af

Wow I didn't expect so many religious people on Lemmy. Fuck christmas and every religious holiday. No special treatment for pale skins or anybody else. People are so indoctrinated into these rituals that they think it's "normal". Keep that bullshit out of my code please.

You don't have to be religious to think a fat dude in some red clothes that magically travels around the world giving out presents to good children isn't a fun yearly tradition. Frankly it's kind of an overdramatic reaction to a small red hat overlaid onto an icon. Should configuration be provided to disable the functionally? Sure I don't care, hell have it disabled by default I don't mind but it's stupid to make a huge stink about something so minor.

If anything modern day santa is more of an invention of Coca-Cola than Christianity or Paganism.

Santa isn't red and white for no reason

Santa is the bringer of the New World Order

It's true that Christians have killed more people and commited more genocides, and are obsessed with putting their religion in everything... I think I'm on the side of this guy tbh

Of course you are...

As an organisation they have historically been and continue to be, truly shitty.

But what are you using for sources here ?

Santa is pagan, they put that dude on cereal boxes.

It's always baffling how people can define something as unacceptable. Says who? You? Who are you to just make that decision so unilaterally?

You can have your opinion, but it's just that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

And their opinion is that this is unacceptable and outrageous.

What's more infuriating is that they immediately gave in and removed it without any discussion
