But it is going to make a difference. She uses her funds to push anti trans causes. She also uses her platform for that which gets more influential the more popular Harry Potter is. So if you give her funds and popularity she can do more of what shes already doing, and if no one was giving her money and popularity she…

What does separating the art from the artist have to do with what’s happening here

I have made the decision to separate art from the artist.

Damn, that’s pretty good.  Are you a professional at making bad faith arguments?

Since the start of this I’ve felt this has been a “tactical” mistake, for lack of a better word, and there will be nothing positive that comes from any of it. This definitely seems like one of those “let it go” moments, where people had the chance to play into the hands of the “bad guys” or let it go for the better…

Do you want a pat on the back and my endorsement for buying a video game? Do you feel like you deserve absolution for giving a terf 70 bucks? 

Reminder: telling someone you’re disappointed in them for playing Hogwarts Legacy is not bullying. Telling someone you’re going to unsub/unfollow them for playing it is not bullying. Asking someone not to play a game because the franchise’s creator is loudly, proudly transphobic is not bullying.

Sounds like victim blaming to me. As long as trans people shut up and stay in their lane they deserve human rights.

But I do feel like allies attacking people over playing is probably having more of a negative effect in regards to furthering the cause than anything.

I don’t at all disagree with the idea of boycotting the game or whatever other wizard merch so as not to line Rowling’s pockets any further. But I do feel like allies attacking people over playing is probably having more of a negative effect in regards to furthering the cause than anything.

“I can accept wide sweeping legislation that acts to restrict the bodily autonomy of individuals but I draw the line at being mean to a vtuber.”

Your entire reply is mealy mouthed and suspect. It is literally the lowest effort to not play a thing. There are plenty of other things to play. And your complaint about not being able call out marginalized groups, oof. you are just aching to use some slurs aren’t you? You are giving big “if you aren’t nice to me I won…

Pomu, from Nijisanji said in a recent stream that pikamee had told her *prior to her break* about her upcoming graduation.

Yah honestly I don't get the hand-wringing from ppl who really want to think of themselves as supportive allies but apparently the thought of not playing the mediocre wizard game and giving JK rowling more attention and money is just too much to bear for them. Play the game if you want but ppl have a right to be…

I mean it doesn’t even sound like the initial backlash against the stream plan was all that severe, at least the way it’s presented here. If the worst thing that was found was people threatening to unsub, that’s like, nothing comparatively. If they genuinely graduated her over that, then fucking geez did they start a…

I decided to click on the trending tab and take a look at this for myself for some ungodly reason, and holy shit, the amount of people who were “calling for war” as they put it, against trans folks over this and literally hoping people would kill themselves over the harassment was *insane*. It was the most brain…

I wonder how much of the extreme fallout for this game are actually "false flag" operations to show the LGBTQ+ community in a bad light

There’s really only one response to people like this:

Moist/Penguinz has been covering this guy for a bit now, and holy shit, what a subhuman. I mean, damn, he’s unhinged, and he’s probably going to end up hurting himself or someone else. At minimum he needs to no longer have a platform he can “perform” on, Kick needs to held accountable, it can’t just be known as the…
