Though it may just be lip service, we should at least thank them for their cervix.

Think the likeliest explanation here is probably that they used another “Total HD Textures Reworked Overhaul Supreme” mod that itself had incorporated, surreptitiously or otherwise, the mod in question. There’s generally a code of conduct around doing such things, but it wouldn’t be the first, second, or third time…

(I was trying to find an excuse to make vagina jokes but sure, be a buzzkill)

Or, modders should be recognized for their work and it’s weird that this mod made it into a release version of the game with no one from CDPR ever even reaching out to the modder for permission.

I think a voice actor trying to screw kids is justifiable outrage. I don’t know what a fujoshi is.

Oracle of Seasons/Ages were shown in the “Games to be added” at the end of announcement.

Only the first Metroid Prime? You already bundled the three once, Nintendo. Wtf?

I’m sorry people are angry and aggressive over people giving money to someone who advocates for legal restrictions that directly leads to the suicide of trans youths. Thankfully, you’re spending your time angry about the right thing.

Trying to imagine even one actual person who watches Rick and Morty who was so offended by Roiland’s actions that they’re gonna refuse to watch the show going forward, and who then read this list and said, “Hmmm. South Park. Never heard of it. Let’s give that a try.”

The tone policing is real.

All these people: “oh my god these people facing genocide are being so unpleasant about it and ruining my video game, god, I just wanna ignore their plight and loudly have fun with my video game that profits from hatred stop making me feeeeel baaaad while you die.”

Royalties or no, proving there is a demand for such a product by purchasing it and making money for the company that produced it makes them more likely to enter into another such licensing deal in the future, thus putting the money into Rowling’s pocket.

If The Anti-Trans-Lady Wizard Game came out and completely…

The disclaimer makes it worse, actually. So you’re fully aware that Rowling is complicit in an extremist hate campaign against one of society’s most vulnerable groups of people, but then you go on to say that this bothers you less than people telling you not to buy a crappy video game.

If the game is successful and remains popular for a long time, that keeps the HP relevant and in the public consciousness, (one could argue that this is the entire reason the game exists, as WB considers it an important brand but also one that is losing popularity as a film series. Thus the pivot to another medium)…

What I’m bothered most by all of this hate and policing streamers and calls for boycotts is all of these people are so happy to jump on forums, TikTok, etc. and announce that they don’t support the game and anyone who does is a bigot.

Which is why I and every other trans person I know (ie, people who aren’t terminally online and weird) wish people would shut up and just buy the game. Or not. Literally do whatever you want, but please stop asking me permission to do something you’re going to do anyway lol

“What I’m bothered most by all of this hate and policing streamers and calls for boycotts is all of these people are so happy to jump on forums, TikTok, etc. and announce that they don’t support the game and anyone who does is a bigot.”

So that’s the part of the discourse that bothers you, and not the transphobia? Some…

yeah a video game is a PURE luxury you can divest from. It’s not like coca cola or nestle who own huge percentages of the food market thus making areas where they have no competition.

Sure, you could make the connection that buying the Harry Potter game directly lines She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s pockets, but as we know, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

You put some of the vilest shit imaginable in your soup?

Gross.
