Also the question: on who does the responsibility to be tolerant and understanding lie in such a situation? Is it our responsibility to change green hats to blue, or their responsibility to understand that not everyone sees any negative connotations with green hats? I think in this case, where there is absolutely no protected class being victimised (cuckolds are surely not a protected class), it should not be changed.

Both. And with fix being so easy and self-contained, it shouldn't even trigger any discussion. You just fix it and are done with it.

If fixing it meant more work, like redesigning all of the artwork, then you can ask the other side to be tolerant and understanding. In this case, there was no need to.

I agree the pragmatic thing to do is just to change it, but how much work the fix requires is not really the point here. We're talking about something more than what is simply the optimal business decision. I think it's wrong to indulge people's prejudices.
