I think if I had not disliked the movies following Endgame--which, “dislike” is a very generous word for my feelings about Strange and Thor--then I would at the very least also be exhausted trying to jump from movie to show to movie to show.

Rowling gets a share of every sale, the devs include an alt-right design lead, they hired an MRA voice actor who can’t have custody of their kids because he threatened them, the game’s plot is lifted from antisemitic propaganda about Jews being to blame for the Black civil rights movement (bonus: Shofar labelled as…

Yeah, I get you. On hand you could pay money to the tainted brand of one of the world’s best known bigots who is materially working to make the lives of thousands worse to play a mediocre game. On the other hand you could not do that.

Man, it sure is a pain to have to be reminded of the people who suffer hatred, discrimination, insults, pain, acrimony, frustration, and the million stinging pricks and vicious cuts of violence and bigotry by people who hate them viscerally and want them to suffer and die for the horrible sin of existing.

We’ve reached the point where just pointing it out is met with absurd vitriol and rhetoric; I don’t think people are ignorant of what JK is like at this point so much as they are just violently opposed to actually doing anything about it, or, worse, they start spewing the “but maybe she’s right” shit.

Like, there are…

The supposed “allies” in these articles’ comments sure do have an awful lot of effort put into making trans people look like bullying monsters than they do...actually being allies.

That, and when pushed too far, several of them have just straight up started spitting outright transphobia, so, I don’t exactly give a lot…

So wait. She was streaming the game and donating to The Trevor Project?

I’m loving the constant, constant handwringing about “bullying” now with regard to the game.

“We could excuse JK Rowling bullying trans people on twitter like it’s her full-time job at this point and giving to charitable organizations working against trans people, but the REAL bullying is saying we’re assholes for…

Dud you might not have said they were equal but you’re damn sure are treating them as if they are equal. Thats what I mean by false equivalence. You’re more interested in the feelings of some but hurt edgelord transphobes than you are the actual lives of trans people.

Not an either or thing pal. I can both think that the way trans people are treated is unacceptable and be against them bullying random people. Just because I agree a group is oppressed and don’t like that doesn’t mean I owe them looking the other way when they conduct themselves in a way I find abhorrent. I don’t owe…

Imagine needing a marginalized group of people to be nice to you in exchange for agreeing they should exist

“Different views”? This isn’t like your flavor of ice cream.

Okay, now you’re just twisting yourself into knots trying to justify buying this thing as some sort of act of charity to the developers.

seriously. these people want to act like we’re making a big deal out of nothing when there are literally HUNDREDS of bills out there RIGHT NOW intended to criminalize us for existing and restrict our rights

I’m assuming you’re being ironic on purpose?

You can support a little transphobic bigotry, as a treat!

*sigh* posting this is a mistake, because everyone on Kotaku is biased...

“People get tired of it.” If you think it’s exhausting caring about genocide imagine how exhausting it is having to justify your right to exist every waking moment of every day. If your biggest struggle is “people on internet are mean about me enjoying genocide simulator that gives money to people committing genocide”…
