No one is saying it isn't. It still represented the Confederate States of America in battle, so if you have a videogame trying to accurately represent a battle in the Civil War, "because it's racist" isn't a reason to make it historically inaccurate.
Perhaps no one you know isn't denying that the Confederate flag represents slavery and racism but there are plenty of people who do deny this. Move to Mississippi to find plenty of such people.
Apologies. I was referring to this Hacker News page. I was born in raised in Georgia, so I'm aware of such people. It just seemed like the argument wasn't strong in this context.
