If UK law is so easily influenced by celebrity opinion, I agree that that sucks. However, dismissing my opinion as “Americanocentric” doesn’t make sense when the game is to be sold in America, which has a wider audience, and honestly has many times the number of trans people in its population as the UK. So our…

Hate speech is an opinion. Why is anyone arguing this at all? It detracts from discussions of the actual issues. Stay focused on what’s actually important instead of this idiocy.

..hate speech is not an opinion.

So when are any of you going to boycott the thousands of other companies who actively donate to republican/conservative campaigns? The people that actually pass laws that determine the fate of trans people?

Uh, she does have the right to her opinions.

It’s not like she’s personally leading a hate group complete with rallies and henchmen. She’s one woman with an odd opinion. Care to take a guess of how many other authors you could find out are just as bad... or worse?

Honestly I like her and HP even more now. She was smart enough to sell the rights, and she is a person not afraid to share her opinion and not bend to the online bs woke mob.

Some people here seem to think she needs WB...WB needs her. That’s why they’re defending her. She’s never not going to get a cut of anything Harry Potter. Ever. Be prepared for that. She will monetarily benefit from anything related to the franchise until she fully sells the rights. How could it be anything otherwise?…

Look at this thread. Both versions of this story are filled with comments from people who want to know that she isn’t profiting from this “before they buy the game.” That’s not moral strength in the face of unacceptable behaviour. That’s whining and bitching from people with Gryffindor scarves and wands, hardcover…

She’s definitely a transphobe. That being said, what are you all hoping for? Are you seriously imagining a scenario where she licenses a multi-million dollar video game of her IP and somehow not get paid? Sack up. Either you say goodbye to Hogwarts in whatever form and actually stop buying the shit, or don’t, and stop…

hate speech is not an opinion.

This just in! Author of book not allowed to be removed from IP despite being a dick! 17th Century Philosophers Rejoice! 

At this point, I wish both sides would shut the hell up.

which side is the front?

A little surprised Tesla hasn’t rebranded it or spun it off and started selling licenses already.

They need to make Tesla’s supercharger an SAE standard so other companies don’t feel like they are losing face by adopting a competitor’s system.

And why is that ratio of green bean sludge to those crunchy onion flavored things so high? I mean, the crunchy onion flavored things are the best part. Why is there not a large bowl of those next to the green bean casserole so you can add more of your own (or, ya know, just eat the crunchy onion flavored things)?

Counterpoint (actually it’s the same point the article is making): It’s a single meal (or a single weekend). I kind of agree that their bodies may not self-regulate for the following meals, but for one meal, who cares? And like the article says, we all eat like crap for that meal, why not let your kids make the same…

I *still* wonder why someone has to go and ruin marshmallows every year. 

But why is it automatically racism and not just a shitty self-important boss? Is it possible that Facebook just has bad managers and bad corporate culture? I would guess yes, but you wont see a group of white people writing an open letter blaming it on being white
