Blunt force trauma to the chest can cause cardiac arrest. As Hamlin’s cardiac arrest occurred right after a tackle, it is not out of the question.

“Not really, a lot of their income - as well as the company they work for’s future financial stability depends on sales royalties.”

Can you point to this Harvard study/survey?

Of course, I was just addressing the point that the OP made. The continued success of HP means the continued relevance and platform of Rowling.

Saying that you don’t care Rowling’s views is no different than sticking your head in the sand. If it’s the choice of phrasing that you disagree with, sure but it doesn’t change the point.

If Rowling is not a variable for you, that’s your prerogative. But it is to others, and to dismiss their opinions while giving yours an aura of rational adult decision making is some bullshit.

“But to the 99% of normies who make up the HP fanbase, and also companies, theyve never heard the term TERF in their lives, they have a fond nostalgia for the worldbuilding, sights, and sounds of the HP universe, and that’s more or less the end of it.”

“I’m not sticking my head in the sand. I’m paying attention to the variables and making a difficult choice, like an adult.”

Yes, but if you are aware of exactly who the person you’re making richer is someone you find reprehensible, then sticking your head in the sand is certainly a choice, but not one people have to make.

“The story is the bigger issue though, like what the hell. Why am I mowing down sentient, intelligent creatures that want equal rights?”

“Your choice to purchase, or not to purchase, this game has absolutely no impact on Rowling.”

I’m pretty sure that the person you’re replying to is arguing that WB bought a license because it is a well established franchise with many fans. This part:

“Will people be giving a woman who already has an empire a trickle of more money? Yes.”

Because more people own Playstations. It’s simple selfishness. It’s understandable, but it doesn’t make it rational.

“Xbox is growing by trying to shrink PlayStation.”

Yeah you’re right. Every artist that made any piece of protest art wanted it disseminated and seen by no one. The less eyes on it the better.

I never thought I’d read a “the people living in $1M condos have it just as bad as the poors!” take on this site, yet here we are.

MyPillow employs 1,500 people, would you consider them when you had to get a new pillow?

Fuck all would be my guess.
