I'm kind of offended they changed them all. At some point you just have to say 'okay this is just complete bullshit' and stand for the things you create. Otherwise everything ends up in this corporate bland soup of nothingness. Of course we know where Microsoft ended up, but I doesn't have to be that way.
By all means be pragmatic if it's a government complaining, but you don't have to take all crazy feedback at face value.
- anal_reactor 28d agoUnfortunately the wider cultural movement "we must avoid offending anyone at all costs" got us here. It's not only corporations, many people also behave like this in private. It's sad, but it is what it is, the only thing you can do is searching for small pockets of people who aren't insane.
- MBCook 28d agoIt doesn’t matter if Microsoft cares about offending people. If some executive is not going to buy 2 million licenses of Windows because they are personally offended by the font used somewhere, then Microsoft is gonna change it. In this case, it’s pure business.
- bigstrat2003 28d agoYeah, I feel the same way. Most cases where someone complains that they are offended should be handled by not responding to them at all. Instead, organizations will bend over backwards to avoid even the most esoteric claims of taking offense.
