You misunderstood my post; my claim was that refusing to serve people based on race or gender, as was once the norm in Western society, is the sort of unethical practises you get if you let companies "do business the way they want" without oversight. Letting companies just do as they please because "it's legal" or "they're a private business, they can do whatever they want" is a terrible idea as they inevitably screw over everyone. 

Have you watched almost any teen drama made in the last 30 years? Sex hasn't been taboo in a very long time.

Come on.  You are being disingenuous.  A post was made that banning this game was the same as the cake situation (refusing service), you agreed... and took it to the next level by talking service as it relates to gender and race.

Gender and race are constitutionally protection.  Videogames aren't. 

That simple.  But whatever, this thread has gotten so absurd, it isnt worth the time.

Good for Google.  

I was simply adding to their post, giving further examples of the kind of other things that happen when companies can do whatever they please.

I think we do agree though that this has kinda gone off the rails. Happy to agree to disagree and move on if you are, no hard feelings.
