Banned For a Pride flag with an X over it?

[George Droyd]

So its ok to have a pride flag as an avatar but not ok if you put an X over it? Then when you try to read their Community Guidelines it comes back as an 404 error. I already know they are violating my civil liberties I just want to print it out to show it to my brother whos an attorney. Does anyone have a link to the Official community Guidelines?

You’re gonna appeal to civil liberties, though?! Yikes.

Thats fine I have screen shots of it all. How your Community Guidelines come back as 404 error and its almost as if its done purposely to keep me from confirming that my avatar isnt is violation of any of them. Im also documenting how your also censoring my concerns as well. Thanks

So one of you is a Mod since you were able to censor my concern and all im asking for is an Official Link to your Community Guidelines. Are you refusing my request?

That's correct. They know what message you were trying to convey by putting an X over it, and they aren't interested in arguing with people who pretend they aren't trying to provoke anyone.

There's nothing to "see" about that, those are clear plain out facts. Common sense really: their house, their rules. Rules which you agreed to when you signed up to this place I might add.

And this applies all over the place.

Florida, US: a woman took her children to a Christian private school with a huge sticker on her rearview window on which she promoted her "adult streaming service" on a certain website. First the school banned her car from their premises because they deemed this a severe breach of their uphold morals and standards.

So now the woman was forced to let her kids off on another side of a busy street. So she started demanding that the school provided a guide to help her children safely cross that street.

That conflict eventually resulted in the school expelling her children.

And yah, this has gone through the scrutiny of many legal counsils and the general concessus was very plain and simple: private school, private grounds, ergo they have every right to deny someone access based on their arguments. "Freedom of speech" doesn't apply in the very least here.

Your situation isn't much different, addresses another subject of course, sure, but in the end ... private grounds, their rules and thus their decision to make.

Quite frankly, I would ban such stuff on my place too. An X on top of something generally means "nope", maybe sprinkled with "I am dearly against this" which is amoral in this context. A gay pride flag isn't a statement against anything & anyone, a gay pride flag with an X on top is a statement against. That is the problem here.

It's a hate crime, plain and simple.

Valve may be able to hold you accountable for what you post or upload to Steam - they probably have a stronger case against you than you do them.
