I never said it would empty her bank account. Rowling has explicitly stated that she reads support of her franchise as support of her views. She uses the platform her place in the franchise affords to preach her message to people. Refusing to support her franchise is therefore, in her eyes, the same as refusing to…

The final product is: You’re part of a slave-owning race and violently suppressing a slave rebellion. The slave rebellion is organised by hook-nosed gold-obsessed subhumans. You mount your sentient, sapient slave enemy’s heads on your wall.

The people who made the game are already paid. The only people hurt by a boycott of this game are Rowling and Warner. Both have more money then God, but Rowling sees the constant flow of income as support for her views and Warner could be motivated to stop helping her with that.

Except you’re not being asked to be the only person. You’re being asked to be part of a large number, and perhaps help grow that number. You can’t lift an elephant by trimming it’s nose hair, but you can join a hundred other people in hoisting a pulley.

So tell me something. You would be ok with the hundreds of people working their asses off to make the game potentially lose their jobs because of something 1 bigoted woman said?

What if, hypothetically, there was a right-wing grifter in twitter right now? And what if, hypothetically, that right-wing grifter had recently written an enormous tweet storm about how the “lateness’ of the first murder and halfway-point twist means Glass Onion deceived it’s audience and is therefore a bad movie?

“Officer Hubert was falsely accused in the press of planting 20g of cocaine in a suspect’s car. In reality, it was methamphetamine and a ghost gun.”

I honestly didn’t think I’d be this entertained by the running gag of the Australian/American language barrier. “Jumper!” “Jumpah?” “JUMPER!”

Half my family are nurses and paramedics. I grew up with ambos telling horror stories at BBQs, from the typical OD patients turning violent the second the Naloxone kicks in, to the guy who found his own son’s corpse at a car crash. It’s a stressful job, they need to vent, but I’ve never known a single medical…

Infamous: Famous for some bad quality or deed.

You put so much effort into being an obvious troll. What do you actually get out of it? Are you really so attention starved that a bunch of people saying “You’re a dumbarse” actually feels good?

They’re accusing him of faking the bomb threats, too. Their evidence? He had an assistant transcribe one of the threats on his office landline voicemail, and posted that instead of a copy of the tapes that are currently in police evidence. Oh, and apparently there’s also super special punctuation that you’re supposed…

No, the reporter asked Frasier.

So I thought about it, taking into account the source of the info (both Sigarusa and her ex). Look at the situation, look at the context, and come to a logical conclusion. “Who gains to benefit?”

And you’re out here chewing on the controller and wondering why Mario isn’t jumping.

If you’re experiencing symptoms like “full body aches” it’s bad enough that you should avoid spreading it, whether it’s COVID or flu or anything else.

This is so weird. I mean... actually look at the photos. I fully dressed kid just standing there, not posed. One has a white bear dressed like a Hot Topic Goth going to a rave. The other has a purple bear in leather daddy gear. Neither is posed in any suggestive manner. They’re surrounded by handbags, sunglasses,…

They’re not great, but they have characters, themes, situations, world building that excites people and makes them want more. Some stories, whether they’re high art of pulpy trash, become a part of us. They can change the way we speak, shift entire swaths of the population’s perspective, alter our perception of…

Appropriate username - Everyone’s sick of your shit.

It’d be dumb if you’re talking about technical achievement or financial success. If you’re talking about what makes a movie worth watching, cultural impact isn’t a dumb metric at all.
