Isn’t that how life works, though? You are okay with people until you find out they’re a piece of shit, and then you decide to not associate with them or their products? Wow what revolutionary fucking thinking. Weird how you don’t just say your actual point, which is “shut up and keep consuming”. But all you dorks are…

imagine being so far off of the wave length of this conversation but thinking you have something to argue anyways.

No. Why do you want to downplay her behavior?

I swear 1984 is second only to the bible as something quoted by those who didn’t read or understand it.

She’s probably been a TERF way longer than she’s been publicly a TERF. But even so that’s like “well they weren’t ALWAYS a racist only recently!” as a defense.

No one is accusing him of a crime.

I can’t even tell if this is a joke or real. Trump and his ilk have permanently killed irony for me.

Why does it have to be an either/or proposition. Like, well because there’s assholes all over the world making things that I generally like apparently I’m not allowed to criticize or boycot something? I can choose what I put my money towards and it’s absolutely in my right to not buy something if I personally feel…

I really don't have to give money to people who, all things considered, would really be okay with me being killed.

I mean I guess I don’t know enough about the industry to know what someone in his position does, but if someone’s politics boil down to, “I don’t like acknowledging that minorities exist and have the same value as straight white men” I don’t really want to consume anything they have a creative input on, because that…

And spoiler, fans of the franchise tend to the sort who do get put off by right-wing and/or anti-LGBT politics and it’s one where recent attempts at games for the franchise have massively underperformed compared to the social clout the series had.

This isn’t a case of him liking pineapples on pizza, this is a case of morality. Yes theres plenty of shitty people out there working on all sorts of cool stuff, and what we’re doing here is trying to make sure that big corporations understand that hiring people like him or taking on projects from people who think…

If it means that enough of us vote with our dollars and stop buying these games, and studios/publishers take the necessary steps to weed out these asshats to avoid slumps in their quarterly reports, then I’m all for us finding out. Let the purge commence! I got plenty enough games in my backlog to hold me over until…

Yeah, but when I buy a Star Wars game I can at least take comfort in the fact that George Lucas isn’t the public face of a hate movement.

Keep exposing them and we will stop buying there stuff. 

And said (world’s largest finger quotes) ‘agenda’ is always just “I am made aware of the existence of females, minorities, and LGBTQ people in my video game”

They never seem to notice the politics of literally every single war game in existence along with dozens of others,* but the second a character can be identified…

lol at that last article. A consumer... revolt. “Consumer revolt”. Did the consumers stop consuming? It seemed they mostly just harassed, doxxed and threatened women on social while continuing to fork over money for whatever videogames they wanted whenever they wanted, whenever the market brought them out (often…

I mean, the game was pretty fucked already given how Rowling is making money off of it via licencing and likely residuals too and the best management could give as a response was “well she’s entitled to her views”... which makes sense now.

This can’t be right, Rowling picked him personally.

“Not that they endorse anything that I’ve said, of course, but at least they seem more concerned with making good games than with pushing some kind of a social justice agenda, so there is hope.”
