low key Donkey Kong sounding just like Seth Rogan is hilarious to me. It’s a little jarring but then I picture DK ripping a bong and watching cartoons

Mate, Marnie is very much a child. The franchise is about children being sent out into the world to catch them all. What are you on about?

Huh? Characters like Mallow and Misty are under age. 

Someone way smarter than me mentioned in the HP game review comments that she probably could have been talked around or made to understand the impact of her comments, but the reaction was so aggressive that she basically doubled down so hard that she’s never coming back. I don’t know. 

One thing some people have said about her that I disagree with is the idea that the things she’s said and done in recent years means she was never a good person. It seems to me that until a few years ago she was arguably one of the most admired celebrities, and I think deservedly so. The drop in her reputation wasn’t…

The roots of Rowling’s transphobia are pretty clear, actually. She’s said before that if transitioning had been an option for her as a kid, she’s afraid she would have taken it, because being a woman seemed like such a raw deal.

That’s pretty much it. Being a woman is so awful, so dangerous, in Britain that women like…

I mean, look, my kid loves Harry Potter. She’s a kid. It’ll happen. She’ll probably want to play this game. I will probably let her play this game. I’m not going to saddle a barely pre-adolescent with a boatload of sociopolitical baggage because she wants to play a wizard pew pew game. I *will* have appropriate…

I’ve said this before but fuck it, it needs to be said again and again until people get the message. I will die on this hill.

It’s not confirmed who voiced her but all evidence points to rebecca root, a trans woman who was a credited voice actress on the game. So way to insult her for no reason.

You actually can make a trans character. Take 5 seconds to actually research the game itself, and you’ll realize the developers went to great lengths to distance themselves from that vile woman and create an inclusive progressive game world. But nah...people just want to feel superior and live out their fantasies of…

I love this post. Yes, sharing this information to people who are determined to play it is a much better way to go about this.

Considering libel law in the UK is basically just to protect the royalty, nobility, and rich from criticism (and seriously punish the critic(s)), it is, unfortunately, working as intended.

Shit like this game allows people to pretend they’re making a difference and so they inject an unhealthy dose of moral superiority into their already overinflated egos. They claim it’s about trans rights but they won’t actually lift a finger in any way that actually makes a difference. Not buying the game is easy.…

For those who wish to play the game without enriching Rowling: buy a physical used copy from a non-professional reseller (or an independent game store who deserves your money). EA/Rowling see not dime one from such a purchase. Even better, if your local library has games to borrow, borrow the game from there. In both…

Some people have made it their entire identity to attack people who are planning to play this game as bigots or bigot enabling and I just can’t with these people. I’ve donated a not-insignificant amount of my time and money to progressive candidates but im going to enjoy creative mediums and I separate art from…

The book has an ambiguous ending that ultimately sidesteps the issues that the movie has that linger that this review highlights. Honestly, if they really wanted to make it clear it was all “real” I would have preferred they ripped off the ending of “Cabin in the Woods” completely and just leaned into the idea that if…

This is the first time I agree with this article after reading many articles about this movie. The book seems 100% better because in the movie it suggested that only if a gay family were to be broken apart that we can save the world. I was happy to see gay protagonists until it ends with them suffering. This is some…

Have you seen the young leading me coming up lately in Hollywood.  They all look 14 years old and seem to stay that way for a decade.   Tom Holland is 26 going on 12.  

It seems simple enough. Age Damian down a few years to, like, 8. Then you get three or four movies out of him. Also, the plan to have the live-action features integrate with animated shows using the actors offers a way to get the most out of a young character. 

a) I didn’t see ProZD hating on the game, merely doing one of the parody trailers which I myself admitted were pretty enjoyable.
