What next? Tibetan flags? Uighur flags? Palestinian flags? Basque flags? Chechen flags? Israeli flags? South vietnamese flags? Taiwan flags? Dominion of Newfoundland flags? Black nationalist flags?

Who's the judge?

The game publisher is the judge in this case. Not everyone will agree with the judgement of course but I don't think there is something inherently wrong with that.

Palestinian flags have already been nixed: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/12/10/student-order...

That is one particular instance at a university. It does not mean "Palestinian flags have been nixed"...

For forza: as a private company they can ban whatever the hell they want. Vote with your wallet.

Voting with your wallet doesn't work, because the amount of online racing games for the xbox specifically and even videogames in general is very small. Sports games increasingly are becoming a near monopoly as licensing becomes very expensive and limited.

It depends. Which ones represent the right of owning dark skinned people? I would be happy if they ban those too.

What about the persecution and/or sterilization of a people?

Before it was invaded by China, Tibet had serfdom and what most would consider to be slavery. Also Tibetan punishment for crimes often involved removal of eyes or amputation of limbs.

4chan anons should have made a real flag of a nation as some sort of meme for slavery. That “white power” thing feels half assed now, just feeding the racists.

Microsoft, which is party beholden to the court of public opinion.
