Tommy’s reaction when his wife points out that, yes, literally they’re Communists, was pure gold.

Soviet and Communist aren’t synonyms by a long shot. 

My heart gets filled with joy imagining how the people who have been complaining the show has been “woke” due to LGBTQ+ characters will react to this: the world as people knew fell apart at lightspeed after, due to the Capitalist way of suplying for demand, global market distribution of goods facilitated the…

“What we know now?”

Hey now! Kevin McHale wouldn’t have played a kid in a wheelchair on Glee if he knew “what we know know”. This is a joke because we know everything we knew then now and I’m making the comparison to what you just said.

I’m not insulting you with this snark I’m insulting Evangeline Lily* Even two years ago any sane person…

For a community that’s fighting for acceptance and inclusion, they sure seem to be taking a page from the people they say are oppressing them.

So did you arrive at this comments section via magical teleportation or did you click on the article?

I wonder if the same hate-spewing, comment warriors railing against a trans person expressing thoughts on a game based on the works of an anti-trans creator also have the same energy to go over to The Root and complain to black writers for reporting on issues that affect black people?

Just read the article dummy, it’s not clickbaity at all and is a thoughtful exploration of the issue

Oh she’s definitely a transphobe.

Meanwhile in America

As a prior victim of DMCA takedown abuse on YouTube, I thought we had it bad. But if any Joe Schmoe can use it to yoink entire games off storefronts too, then that’s absolutely fucking broken and a nightmare for game devs.

Harry Potter is ultimately the Chik-fil-A of the fantasy space now- some people have fond memories of it, it’s ultimately not very good, and the people who profit from it use that money to push a hateful agenda.
