Disappointing to whom, people online who are deeply unpleasant and have no impact on the buyer’s life who post for clout about how tangentially related products from WB as a parent company also give money to JK? Wow, what a loss. I’m as devastated as a non-player of this Babys First AAA game can be, I can’t sleep at…

It’s not an easy ask when people go down the rabbit hole telling me not to buy my weekly DC comics because its owner gives money to JK Rowling. “There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” means just that.

You couldn’t even be bothered to correctly write “anti-trans” much less edit a correction in. I guess you care more about speedily posting than invoking the violence perpetuated against a group of marginalized people.

In any case, the argument that boycotting does good against JK is a valid one to make, but it also…

The mistake you made is assuming these people are capable of reason. I’ve just given up at this point because it's grown so tiresome. Eventually people will stop caring about this once websites like Kotaku have milked it dry for clicks and they’ll find another target to direct their performative slacktivism towards. 

You do realize it is entirely possible, to completely disagree with the things JKR has stated, to be a supporter of trans rights, AND still like Harry Potter right?

I don’t know, it seems like a pretty blatant rip off of Quidditch. And if they changed the broomsticks to, like, gliders or something it would likely lose a lot of the immediate appeal it has to fans who would only pay attention to it because it’s invoking Harry Potter. I’m no attorney, but I can see the argument.

First, figure out how to reconnect with reality and discover that playing the terfy wizard world game isn’t the be-all-end-all indicator (or an indicator, period) of whether or not someone supports trans rights.

And getting her home required the US to release one of the most notorious black-market arms dealers in recent history. One who is responsible for thousands of deaths and massive geopolitical destabilization.

Go have a good cry Crissy.

The whole community? Everybody? Or just a few without a sense of self-deprecating humor?

Then show me the “backlash” and the “outrage”. It shouldn’t be too hard, given that it’s apparently so prevalent that they wrote a whole article about it.

Literally the episode hasn’t been out for even a day and there’s already a  “controversy.”

This is like the fourth “you’re a bigot if you don’t eat the slop” post on avclub about this specific show. please get a new promotional angle I’m begging you😭

“TLOU has faced homophobic backlash since it was only a video game, so it’s no surprise that there are folks out there working themselves into an outrage over two teens kissing. But, “I think Bella put it perfectly a couple”

How fucking fragile could you be? I took it as self referential “humor” about his own hypocrisy of doing drugs while questioning big pharma who are plenty guilty of other human travesties. Have we gotten so fucking sensitive we can;t tolerate a single thing that deviates from our politics? We melt when we hear a…

You’re asking me if someone with XY chromosomes and testicles is a woman? Seriously?

We don’t know that it was a payday. Wood is clearly on a mission and I could see her dragging a reluctant accuser into the situation. Meanwhile there are also damaged people out there who say and do all kinds of irrational things for attention or inclusion. This doesn’t invalidate any other claims against Manson but…

Too many accusers have shown us why we should examine each case individually. Lets change it to HEAR all women...knowing a few are going to sketchy as shit, and sorry, ERW is suspect as hell. When you start fabricating legal letters as she allegedly did, the blind faith game is over. I have to start asking questioms…

Y’all give women too much the benefit of the doubt. There are very evil ones out there. People like her should be in jail. There are real victims out there and this insults and dangers them.

My definition of men are people with XY chromosomes. There are an infinitesimally small number of actually intersex people who I guess are allowed to call themselves what they want. I feel bad for them.
