A) They linked to the Rolling Stone article, which includes three paragraphs about his downfall.

LOTS of people have been covering that. It’s not being ignored in the slightest.

I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating:

The thing is, it’s not just about the money. That’s part of it, but it’s also about the fame and popularity. JKR is only as influential as she is because her property is incredibly popular, and millions of people, including powerful politicians, listen to her. In fact, she believe that her popularity is a sign that…

I’m involved in activism locally. I think most of the cannon fodder types aren’t actually involved with activists. They do a lot of loud slacktivism. There’s no one to call them in because they’re not actually part of the community and they’re often talking over the people they claim to he supporting. 

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.

The frustrating (and entirely expected) thing is that most of the backlash I’ve seen is as simple as “I am disappointed to see someone playing this game,” only for it to be framed as bullying and harassment.

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.

“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.”

Funko Pop!(s) as an investment?

Funko building a whole-ass IPO on what was clearly a fad is just fucking astounding to me.

The most accessible Soulslike to date is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order that had an actual difficulty setting. It’s the only reason I beat it and enjoyed it as much as I did. I’ve tried many Souls games and just can’t seem to git gud enough to get past the first boss in any of them. 

They will be provided 60 days severance, though that won’t cover the length of many people’s contracts, sources said

Eliminate “Right to work” laws nationwide. They’re oxymoronic (read: fraudulent) pieces of junk that let employers do whatever the fuck they want and remove employee protections.
Then ban union-busting (with punishment starting at the union vote automatically passing). The resulting employment contracts will almost…

If EA is anything like they were in 2009, they probably hung up that call - and then immediately celebrated their most profitable year to date.

For the uninitiated, this is more evidence to consider that—when push comes to shove—Capitalism will always side with the regressive/Right regeimes when it comes to business.

If you’re liberal you are conservative. Only in America are liberals considered left of center. Team red and team blue are two sides of the same exact coin.
