And not just sales numbers. Gotta get those reservation numbers up too! Gotta get those used game sales up too! Gotta get those warranty sales up! Don’t forget to push the crap at the front of the cash register to get those multi-sku transactions!

Especially for places in strip malls like Gamestop. If you are in a actual mall you at least have other people near if there is an emergency.

Single staffing a retail store is dangerous and stupid. Especially when that single employee is there for nearly 12 hours. Good for her. Your life is worth more than a pittance from a company that doesn’t care about you in the slightest.

Folks that don’t think the transphobia is reaching “getting round up to be killed” levels haven’t been to Texas or Florida lately.

The folks in charge here are trying to get lists of trans people in their states and are super fucking chummy with pastors that have been calling for us to be lined up and shot in the head.

I think there’s a clear enough difference between being unable to avoid unethical consumption and being able to avoid it but doing it anyway. The scope of megacorporations makes it difficult to even see all the connections, let alone avoid them; likewise for the state of global manufacturing.

Especially when the main thing she’s often ridiculed for were statements about having bad actors in female only spaces

The problem is many countries only view the straight man as being worthy of human rights.

> Trans rights are human rights, but every country does human rights differently

If people want to selectively buy or boycott things, thats fine

Do you apply this reasoning to companies too? Keep buying from Nike despite the child labour because you can “separate their shoes from their business practices”? What about Nestle’s colossal rainforest damage and water theft? Or Activision Blizzard’s sexual abuses?

Honestly I’d be fine with that as long as people would shut up about this stupid terrible universe and this stupid game for like 5 goddamn seconds cause honestly any time I see HP fans at this point I know to just avoid them because there’s a non-zero chance they’d attack me for being trans.

That’s not even touching on…

I mean, to be entirely honest, anyone who is actively supporting Kanye to the point of going to his show should absolutely be ridiculed.

She’s already fabulously wealthy so it’s hardly as if she gives a shit anymore anyways.

Trans rights are human rights, but every country does human rights differently

There is a trans NPC in the game. Not a particularly important person in the narrative, but the dialogue makes the trans identity clear.

As a mod in some other forums, this is practical. It’s not to say that the mods don’t clearly support trans rights and have a position on the issue (they do!), but as a practical nature of online discourse and the free nature of modwork and all opening this can of worms is a wonderful way to attract the worst kinds of…

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…

GameStop has always done this. The upper management know that working for a video game store is incentive enough to lure people in and they take advantage. They were doing it when they were four different companies as well(Babbages, software etc, Funcoland and EB).

Funny, the real robbery is how much they pay people to work there.

About a decade or so ago (shortly after PS4 and Xbox One launched) I was a Gamestop employee. My first full non training day actually. I was told to go out and clean the window and door just before closing. As I was out there a guy ran up towards me with a gun and put it to my back and walked me inside the store. Kept…
