She’s one woman, sure. But she has a lot of clout, especially with your typical White Lady Who Wants To Be A Writer And Drinks Too Much Wine.

The problem is that she has enormous reach and gives transphobes a sense of legitimacy. She galvanizes transphobes and helps transphobia seem like a mainstream and reasonable position, leading to extremely harmful legislation. It’s something the UK is struggling heavily with right now. Her reach extends way farther…

It’s called a contract.  WB could most certainly put severance of her rights into their terms.

Arguing whether a video game is fun or not is an opinion.

“If I said I don’t agree with people eating so much as to be obese does that make me an obesephobe?”

She’s going to get a cut. A huge one. Asking the question is the only moral ambiguity happening on this page.

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…

Actually look up the definition of “Phobia” in a dictionary. Any dictionary.

Either you say goodbye to Hogwarts in whatever form and actually stop buying the shit, or don’t, and stop pretending that your outrage is backed up by anything.

So please explain what isn’t “vulgar” about portraying transpeople as mentally ill or lending succor to paedophiles and happily becoming the public face of a movement designed to remove rights of transpeople?

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…

Don’t be so fucking stupid.

I mean, it surprised no one that the guy who decided he was the best person to portray a transwoman’s experience (rather than, you know, a transwoman) was a shallow husk here too.

I did enjoy how Generic Upper-Class Actor No. 10482 (or as credited “Eddie Redmayne”) after previously jumping on the bandwagon of current or former cast condemning her came out with the “both sides are just as bad” spiel and painted Rowling as a victim too the moment production restarted on yet another crappy Fantasti…

Does this fallacy have a name?

This isn’t going to be news to anybody, but journalistic standards of objectivity are completely incapable of dealing with the situation in which the White House is occupied by a liar and a con man. Entire generations of journalists have been trained to assume that both sides of any issue are occupied by people…

“These revelations come via Will Sommer at The Daily Beast, who dug deep into the career of Dr. Stella Immanuel”

For real.

And yet, when Michael Weatherly was accused of harassment, she backed him. I don’t get it.

Yup, it’s pretty clear “BioWare magic” is just borderline abusive crunch time.
