Yeah. Lots of words to say nothing of value or truth. 

This exactly. My wife literally runs an LGBTQ+ book club for teens at a youth center, loves the HP series because she grew up with the books as a kid, has done out reach for and marched in our cities pride parade and hates JKR but doesn't let her being a piece of shit ruin something she loved growing up.

It isn't black and white and someone else's refusal to see that isn't my fault. 

Not looking for online validation. I’m asking people to be discerning with who they attack for playing a video game. This isn’t a black and white issue at all and I’m actively here talking about it.

And you are wrong. Be better

Once again, from a strictly ideological perspective, I'm on your side. However, saying "If you don't immediately agree with me 100 percent, I won't defend my argument and I won't interact with you in any way", you're being ridiculous. Not everyone is a hard-line internet douchebag. I once explained to someone that gay…

There right here in this thread calling people transphobes, jansports, and Hitler

She. Didn’t. Make. This. Game.

But it’s true, you don’t have to hate everything someone’s ever done in the past due to what they did in the present.

And I have the right to question that criticism. It seems a hell of a lot more like people trying to make themselves feel better or like they are the superior allies than focusing on what matters more. Being allies and standing against real harm. Stop focusing on who’s doing it better or right and focus on who’s…

And I'm glad you have found a way to be at peace with being hateful yourself. Be better.

You can take it back by supporting those who are making new and inclusive products in that world. Her getting paid is a biproduct of licensing and not a direct payment to her pocket. If she wrote another book, I’m out. But allies making a game she gets a percent of, I’ll take that distinction and encourage it if only…

So much wrong.

It's funny no one is going to intelligently debate this. The trans don't care about logic or anything sensical. It's all about them :)

That’s a ridiculous stance. If a person donates $100 a month to charities supporting gay people, and then buys a Chick-Fil-A sandwich, that negates everything else? Screaming at someone for buying a video game isn’t supporting trans people, it’s screaming at someone for buying a video game. They’re not the bad guys…

People can protest however they want. I’m not judging anyone for boycotting or telling them there are better ways to protest. I’m giving a perspective and trying to raise a level of understanding.

No, that is what you are saying it means.

And the developer of the game included a trans character that wasn’t highlighted in marketing, and provided character creation options that support cis, non binary, and trans players Should they not be acknowledged for those efforts?

And I believe you are incorrect on all counts there.

Yeah, and by that same logic playing a video is not the worst someone can do. Scale matters. Intent matters. Lumping people together into a bin with transphobes and Nazis is throwing the baby out with the bathwater in this case. It is counterproductive and damages the very cause the community and its allies are…
