Apple tend to be hysterically puritanical about these things (and lately, hysterically PC) but it’s their store so why not just follow their rules?



It's not Apple that's hysterically puritanical, it's the market they operate in.

They don't give two f__ks about being politically correct, they're a corporation, their main concern is profit, and if you're not being hysterically PC in 2021, you're gonna loose money because of the radical minority that's ruining it for everyone.


I feel that Apple goes above and beyond. Like banning the confederate flag from all apps, I don't think people would have boycotted Apple if they hadn't done that. And Tim Cook's personal morals are very well aligned with PC, so I don't think it's just posturing.
