The Santa Claus hat isn't a Christian icon. Santa Claus isn't a Christian figure. That being said, cancel culture is bullshit and not free markets. It's bullying. Free market is "Don't like the Santa Hat? Don't use VSCode."

It doesn't offend me that they added/removed the Santa Claus hat; I don't care. What's offensive is the last part of your statement.
> to avoid offending their massive variety of customers.
What about the people it offended because someone "didn't like the icon"?
Cancel Culture is trying to censor a comedian like David Chappelle because they found his jokes offensive. Now if you can't see the issue with this, that's fine and we won't agree on the subject. That being said - your post is very offensive to people sharing opinions and I think we should take it down. It's offending a variety of readers.. And take down my comment because it offended a variety of readers.. better yet, let's take down hacker news because there's so many offensive things on here lol
Free market - just don't use VS Code and use Atom.
