Microsoft removes a Santa hat from a piece of software after a single complaint of “pushing religion being very offensive” and the hat being “almost equally offensive as a swastika”
The complaint on Github: –
The Santa Hat on vscode insiders and pushing of religion is very offensive to me, additionally xmas has cost millions of Jews their lives over the centuries, yet even if that was not the case, pushing religious symbols as part of a product update is completely unacceptable. Please remove it immediately and make it your top priority. To me this is almost equally offensive as a swastika.
The response: –
we're sorry we hurt your and other's feelings. We'll remote the Santa Hat.
They then deleted a bunch of the replies and locked the discussion.
