People: “Say, couldja maybe not buy this game and give money directly to someone who doesn’t want us to exist?”

Actually had a friend have several people angrily proclaim that they were dropping support for trans people and going “full on JKR supporter” because she spoiled the game to point out a few of the problematic things in it.

There’s something about not being supportive in the first place if spoiling a damned video game…

“Sure, you could make the connection that buying the Harry Potter game directly lines She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s pockets, but as we know, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.”

Your professor, Eleazor Fig, dies at the end and Rookwood is the one who cursed Anne and framed the goblins

I’m trying so hard not to judge people for playing this shitty wizard game, but the more I hear about it, the worse it sounds. Setting aside JKR’s awful dehumanization of trans people like me (which really can’t be set aside, but I’m doing it for the sake of argument), it’s a buggy mess with like 2 enemies, heaps of…

Game Director: “Okay, we’ll take the muscle-head guy and the skinny chick.”

The Nazis literally had the same position on transgender people as the Republican party today.  So yeah, if you’re against trans rights you’re probably a fascist.

one of the most innovative men to ever live.

“Yawn, another (liberal) author for a video game website trying to take a hit at one of the most innovative men to ever live.”

Never takes long for a Musk bro to show up and post something cringy and hilarious.   

“Woke” is another word co-opted to be an insult, in a long line of things people co-opt because the truth behind the terms and/or discussion make them uncomfortable.

My purchase basically hinges on these tracks being present

By your (non)logic, minors should not receive any sort of medical or psychiatric care because they are not in a position to consent or to consider the health ramifications of their choices. That take is so disingenuous, and condescending to youth, to the point of being insulting.

PERFECT assessment. 10/10

So....a solution? Sounds like you don’t want them to explore these cultural identifiers and the explorer-genre tropes. Should half the cast be fired and people you find “approved” be playing this game?

This is super ironic to me. Let me tell ya, I’ve been served, time and time again, the eternal argument AGAINST backward compatibility by Sony fanboys saying that they much prefer Sony invest its money in making new games instead, and that BC was for Xbox losers, that anyone who wants to play old game should just keep…

The sickest part of all of this is how so many people don’t just want to ignore how someone can use their comedy platform to dehumanize people who are already under attack. No, that’s not enough. At the least, they want the dehumanized people to shut up and not complain. Hell, they want those who’ve been attacked to…

Not watching won’t do anything when you already gave them $13 for the month. Cancel your damn subscription and leave it canceled. And cancel Prime while you are at it, too.

It probably doesn’t amount to much, but as a white, cishet dude I’m sorry that the rest of my ilk are massive cockwaffles.

Can’t help but notice the lead photo is somewhat different to how women who do hot tub streams have always previously been depicted on this site, namely not leading with a photo of them in a bikini in the tub itself.
