You’re wrong about this. She would do what literally every other conservative person with a hateful viewpoint has done. Step 1, go crying to conservative media outlets about how you’ve been canceled. Step 2, now that you have a new consumer base and it’s filled with idiots your new material doesn’t even need to be…

I think they are referencing this tweet:

Your “allyship” is rooted in convenience

Literally the first comment here was the most upvoted before being taken down that had genuine, backed up evidence of different viewpoints and they were told to get set on fire.

Not to be a R A D I C A L   C E N T R I S T but seems it’s a lot of people being little bitches for a lot of reasons.

Exactly! Like when I taste delicious ramen and my clothes explode off and lasers shoot out of me. 

That is not how the Golden rule works! You massive idiot

The game features the ability to play trans tho and meet a trans person. Quite clearly distancing itself from JK Rowling in that important aspect. Also cutting them off as a penalty, even if it were just, for exactly the reasons you describe... what is won?

I think he is saying we/ you could be (a lot) more effective if we remain civil and argue the cause instead of boarding the outrage train. Now that is very simplified, but I agree. I think there are lessons in how this has gone down and backfired. And I think if your serious about actually winning people for the cause…

You get it!

You are almost onto something, but painting a picture like ‘dreaming of genocide’ is in incredibly bad faith. And I think that is a bit of an understatement. If you dont get that, I dont think you’ll have a lot of succes creating new allies.

Lets also not forget this game lets you play trans if you want to be and feature a trans NPC. Now i havent played it, but I think that is still a win. Biggest wizarding world AAA game distances itself from JK Rowling in word and deed.

Time may tell. But I have a strong feeling this boycott has had a significant adverse effect. Im still off the opinion that its misguided to boycott this game. You can be a transperson in this game. Also you can meet a trans person in the game. The creators made a clear cut choice not to act in accordence to JK…

Never said it shouldn’t be brought up. Just that there are probably plenty of better ways to bring people’s attentions to something shitty a rich asshole is doing and the people it’s hurting than aggressively shaming and lashing out at them. Maybe people are just shitty but I believe most people will take that kind of…

The cause is just but the method is flawed.

Yes, correct. If some dickbag bigot is trying to perpetuate the idea that a group of people are “the bad guys” those very people lashing out and attacking people are probably not going to do much to convince people that they are wrong.

Why should someone? Yeah, they could not play for what will likely be a useless show of solidarity. But the simple fact is it isn’t likely to have any effect other than people feeling some way about it.

Are streamers playing the game actively fighting against Trans people? Or just people who chose thier enjoyment/profit over a likely useless boycott?

...indulgences? They’re not trying to buy their way into heaven bro, and raising money for trans rights groups is generally pretty rad since that like, actually goes directly towards helping trans folks - either through broader pushes for improved and more inclusive policies to providing financial assistance to house…

There comments are far beyond reason and nuance at this point, friend, but thanks for trying.

That’s a pretty myopic view of how game development works. If a developer makes a commercially successful game, that increases their leverage when negotiating for new projects and higher budgets. That means more job opportunities, more bonuses, more raises and more promotions. If a game is a commercial failure, its…
