Removing the Santa Hat on vscode insiders is very offensive to me. Getting offended by one person is against my atheist religion. Bowing before SJW's as part of a product update is completely unacceptable. Please readd it immediately and make it your top priority. To me this is almost equally offensive as censorship.

  • VSCode Version: 1.42.0-insider
  • OS Version: Windows 10 1909

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Get offended.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Too late! Spreading it wide on the internet of the hilarity of binding to an SJW troll.

Given that the article the original author of #87268 cited was titled "What does Judaism say about Christmas", the site it is hosted on is a self-identified religious text repository, and the article itself describes how Christmas is now de facto secular holiday, I believe the original issue author was incontestably acting in bad faith when he purported this request was motivated by offense to religious symbols.

Additionally, examination of his GitHub profile reveals just two non-fork repositories with a total of 8 commits. The combinations of name/employer/country revealed no other matching social media accounts in a web search. However the profile image shows up in reverse image search to public profiles of accounts on other sites with a different name. This is at minimum very suspicious.

There has been overwhelming opposition to this decision, and I believe it would damage public faith in the maintainers ability to discern when they are being trolled if it moves forward.
