Dawnsinger: Could you please, after insulting us again if you must, not link to where some legalese is, but to where the hate speech is, and why it is such? The option of recoloring a game character, I suppose? Or has anyone actually read and compared the alleged codex entry changes?
Oh, and please stop flaunting ultimata.
I don't know why you specifically took offence, but if you don't know yours and your fellow human's rights, then obviously there is lack of education on the matter. How else am I supposed to say it? Ignorance on the topic, lack of knowledge on the subject matter, short of learning in the matter at hand. I mean, there are only a number of ways I can express it, and yet you took offence.
From the United Nations page:
Hate speech can be conveyed through any form of expression, including images, cartoons, memes, objects, gestures and symbols and it can be disseminated offline or online.
Hate speech is “discriminatory” (biased, bigoted or intolerant) or “pejorative” (prejudiced, contemptuous or demeaning) of an individual or group.
Hate speech calls out real or perceived “identity factors” of an individual or a group, including: “religion, ethnicity, nationality, race, colour, descent, gender,” but also characteristics such as language, economic or social origin, disability, health status, or sexual orientation, among many others.
Warhorse's artistic vision called for having a character with X characteristics (in this case, skin color). A person came along and removed this character because of his characteristics, and also removed any reference to homoerotic references (which could be not initiated by the player to begin with should the player choose to never initiate, and would therefore never encounter it), removed romantic requirements for two characters and made them "easier to bang" because why should we think that a woman should be called intelligent, and also added the Russo-English spelling of Kyiv/Kiev in the game, because I guess "Ukraine who?"
So, again, taking notes from the UN page, this is "discriminatory, biased, bigoted, intolerant", and "removes characters with real or perceived identity factors".
This has been discussed ad nauseam. The facts are there and the law is clear. You can consider them ultimata, but it won't change anything.
I can't simplify it more than this.
Edit: Also, I've set my account for deletion. Good luck.
