Huh? What are you talking about? The name of the wind is excellent at characterisation worldbuilding and plot. And its treatment of women has no issue.

No its because Catholicism doesn’t function the same way. Due to how much it has spread, its size, and its organisation, you can just be catholic, even if you don’t like the pope or the organisation. Same way you can be Mormon without those things. But the Mormon church is more centralised and if you support it, well,…

If you thought the message of future was leave your found family you did watch the show wrong

Yea this is what im saying. I was involved in Steven universe from the start, and was in the fandom in circles of sane people who actually, you know, like the show, and while there were plenty of discussions about issues with it or irl issues it touches on, or the messaging, they were sane and made sense

Steven universe future is excellent, and the fact the people who you are talking about couldn't apreciate it kind of gives away the fact they weren't actually fans, they just arbitrarily hated the show

The “Steven universe” problem? What Steven universe problem? For one that show is better for what it is than most of sandersons books. For another, the fanbase of that show wasn’t the problem, the arbitrary amount of haters that show somehow accrued was. I don’t think ppl who thought the show could never do something…

This is not the case at all. Even in a non capitalistic system these problems would exist. For the first, devaluing the labour of artists would mean that they now can’t have being an artist as a recognised socially contributing type of labour, it wouldn’t be recognised as a work only as a hobby, so they’d have to find…

If you can't talk about politics you can't talk about art, because there is no such thing as apolitical art 

Indeed its usuallynot transphobic to play a game with gay and trans characters in it. Thank god i didn’t say that eh?

Having gone through the comment section, its quite disheartening to see how many people seem to for some reason equate the actions of however many assholes with LITERALLY ALL TRANS PEOPLE and allies or even the movement (which last time i checked was the trans rights movement not the lets harass streamers movement).…

Im 100% certain there was some amount of harassment because some people are assholes or think being in the right gives them carte blanche to do whatever

What are you talking about? Attacking trans people IN GENERAL because some assholes did a bad thing (amid a climate of valid criticism no less) is just straight up transphobic

But it is going to make a difference. She uses her funds to push anti trans causes. She also uses her platform for that which gets more influential the more popular Harry Potter is. So if you give her funds and popularity she can do more of what shes already doing, and if no one was giving her money and popularity she…

But to be pissed at trans people in general because some number of assholes maybe harassed a streamer you like you need to already be transphobic, same way you need to be racist to be mad at black ppl in general because a group of black ppl robbed your dad.

And no one said that was ok.

What does separating the art from the artist have to do with what’s happening here

So people aren’t allowed to point out how giving money and more of a platform to the most well known transphobe on the planet is not a good thing to do? Why? Since when is criticising ppl for doing something objectively bad “attacking them”. Harassment and death threats sure, but anything else is fair game

What are you talking about? Bow the fuck do the actions of however many assholes translated to all trans people or all allies or even the movement itself. This is “a gay guy unfairly called me homophobic so now i decided to be a homophobe logic”

Ah yes. A trans person was mean to me so i will now pass and support legislation to remove rights from trans people and start being transphobic.

Playing the game does indeed do nothing. BUYING it and promoting it however means you fund and promote jk Rowling, who uses her platform and funds to further anti trans causes
