Number one, incomplete understanding of how to use quotation marks. 

“Honestly, I find myself wondering why the hell we’re still fighting over straight cis men (arguably the most unimpressive of our species) in the year 2023"

I’ve lost a lot of interest, not going to lie. I figured that leak with the eight currencies was real, I figured, but hoped against, this being a live service but here we are.

wild how i wrote this to specifically call out halo infinite then didnt even need to mention it by name

For a community that’s fighting for acceptance and inclusion, they sure seem to be taking a page from the people they say are oppressing them.

I would take you less time to Google why Rowling is transphobic than it took you to type out this comment, much less expect someone to reply to it.

Honestly, Rowling’s supporters really love their double standards. They’ll go out of their way to proclaim every Harry Potter project to be the greatest creative work in the history of the universe just because their idol’s name is attached to it, but then the moment someone has something negative to say, they demand…

Separate the art from the artist

Separate the art from the artist

You cant separate the art from the artist when the ‘art’ is what keeps her relevant and influential enough to promote transphobia on a massive scale.

Rowling has explicitly stated that she considers support for the HP franchise to be support for her and, by extension, for her transphobia. Given that Star Wars is now firmly in Disney’s hands and has been in the hands of many other people, it would be harder for Lucas to lay claim to the franchise in the same way.

Except JKR still has creative control over the franchise, so its not quite the same thing.

Its always fun when a guy who's talking about immaturity starts his comment off by calling people "bitches".

hmmm, interesting comparison, although I think that George Lucas explicitly selling the franchise to Disney (he still gets royalties??) could hypothetically softer the impact a lot more. It would amount to Disney doing some damage control, and further emphasizing how separate GL is from SW, I think.

Hearing that the game is a very bog-standard “AAA” release just makes the garbage people championing it to own the libs look all the sillier.

Why be one of almost zero artists to be dumb enough to try and sound good in a venue like that? She did sing it, just not live. She’s there for aesthetics and to be shown as part of the moment, which she was.

I thought everyone knew this stuff is lip-synced. The league requires it. They’re putting on live entertainment, and they don’t want any hiccups. These performances are logistically immense, and this is not like a concert where they may have a day or more to set up and test everything. They literally have minutes to…

Because the reverb of a football stadium set up for a football game is not the same as it is for a concert. Everyone lip syncs their performances for Superbowl. EVERYONE. What I think would be an issue is if she lip synced someone else performing the song. What she did though is lip sync a performance she created…

She has to either see it herself to do anything about it or else be like “hey, can you look at all these videos of me getting blasted in the face by ten guys?” to someone else. Obviously she isn’t sitting there being forced to stare at it for the full length of the video, but she’s going to see something, even if just…

This whole thing is so silly. The game is already rated for nudity, so why is this a deal at all? Am I missing something? Like who’s the person who bought Witcher being shocked that a naked person has genitals?
