Wonderful. An intelectual response. You are not wrong in your assertion.

I applied the one most common factor. There was no intent to ignore nor dismiss the rest with a singular focus.

I have merely raised the most prominent question as posted by others.

The term pride can be applied to ones work, family, country. In this however, Pride combined with Rainbow is about LBGT (and however many other letters of the alphabet are now being used to describe “Pride”).

This is NOT a debate or even definition to which I care to debate nor should it be debated in this forum as it has been a point of contention for thousands of years and is still not resolved. Rather, the matter is, should it be a part of an game that is played internationally, lumped with religion, et cetera? I know of several people who refused to play simply due to the inclusion of an Anch in the game. A pity really as the items are not portrayed in a truly religious sense. Would more people play if all religious items were removed? Likely yes. Would it be in keeping with the Rogue-like history? Absolutely not. People haven’t argued largely over the choice of holiday foods, then again, some have. A rainbow potion supporting “Pride” however is neigther holiday nor a holiday food, it is a political statement of support. That is where the controvery lies, not in the subject of Pride.

No, ignoring fear and hate mongering does not make it go away. But do we really want to address “Pride” in this game, where not only will the matter not go away, as this thread clearly demonstrates, it adds fuel to the fire.

True, developers can opt to change things, and many do just that. I however like SPD moreso than any other PD.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still play. It is merely a concern raised, a Pandora’s box if you will, to be addressed. How it is addressed is up to the developer. He may change it, or, leave it.
