dont give characters different motivations or character traits.

That’s the thing, Season 1 was fantastic for me personally but at the same time now that I am aware of the twist I doubt I will ever watch it again because part of the fun in S1 was being confused and slowly connecting the dots to make sense of it.

Yes, I get the motivation. I just think it’s an unrealistic goal and ...kinda counter-”progress?”

“If a good movie is successful, people will make bad movies." Is this a joke I'm missing? 

The author got their journalism degree online.

No. But death threats and doxing are.

Holy shit, this is a heroic effort to spin this as anything other than a result of harrasement. Unfortunately, it’s also completley devoid of nuance.

I’m a bit disappointed that there hasn’t been much of a rebuke from the trans community for this behaviour, since a group of people who frequently have to deal with harassment, doling out harassment themselves at the drop of a hat is a bit of a bad look.

They’re making real money, which in most places they have to pay real taxes on. “Providing entertainment” is absolutely a real job. Do you think people on the radio aren’t working “real jobs” either? How about comedians? TV show hosts? It’s all entertainment.

Really bad to downplay her harassment, but whatever fits the narrative I guess...fact is she did get harassed, just because you chose to ignore it, doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.

Some notes/corrections:

Likely a contrarian opinion but I don’t know how it’s ok for a bunch of people to bully Pikamee out of something she likes to do while at the same time same people say they don’t like bullying of any kind. Seems a bit hypocritical to me.

No see it is more than that. Pikame really was harassed and it’s bullshit to downplay that with “no evidence” crap. This is at it’s core an article about not believing a woman was harassed, but if she was it wasn’t that bad, and you can see where I’m going with this. This article is worse than un-nuanced. And while…

It’s a valid point. This isn’t how boycotts work, aggressively asserting someone js fundamentally against your cause because they decline to participate

This is the point that so many are missing. People are gonna be people. You shouldn’t have to appeal to their base instincts for basic rights but you unfortunately do if you want to get anything done. Treating people with the assumption that they’re transphobic because of buying a game is going to make them think…

I mean, angry feminists will generalize a lot about how all cis men are terrible — and when people want to point out that’s not true or the lack of context, the response is usually #YesAllMen.

But I get what you’re saying and you’re right — just pointing out that anger does away with a lot of nuance and granularity.

You can thank those harassers for that. That’s “activism” for you.

So this means with the announcement that Saudi Arabia is now a 8% shareholder of Nintendo, all these people who went rabid about J.K. Rowling will now boycott Nintendo just a hard. Time to start harassing anyone who plays Nintendo games on twitch.

you sound like you are implying that harassment, bullying, doxx threats and death threats are okay if they were not the “direct” cause or the “primary” reason for her departure.
