This Wired article wasn’t criticism, it was a hit job. The dude basically hated Sanderson from the get go and in spite of all the evidence that he’s a nice guy decided “hey fuck this guy”

originally I did not agree with Rowling’s stance, but with all these complaining and virtue signaling attempts makes me want to support her more. This is doing the complete opposite of what people are trying to preach.

Its like the religious sidewalk preachers, it just makes me want to do the opposite of what they are…

My goodness. Someone who has the ability to think for themselves! I appreciate your reply! I’m not trying to be a troll. I really don’t understand what JK said that has everyone so angry. No one here wants to say. Sorry/not sorry, but I agree with what she had to say. She was speaking from a biological female point of…

Honest question. You want people to care. You want people to change, but they’re supposed to either take your word for it or go look by themselves?

Kinda like the way you just did? I read her comments, and I just don’t agree with what people are saying. That’s why I asked.

While I’m not a Harry Potter fan, I do enjoy gaming. This is what made me ask what the fuss is all about so I read her tweets and her essay and I didn’t take it as she’s transphobic. She didn’t come across as being afraid or have hate for the trans community. I see that she did have concerns as a biological woman,…

How does she celebrate every time that happens?

And drug dealers, human traffickers, serial killers, arsonists, rapists and paedophiles? Those people don’t “go away” with a reduction in poverty. These are people that deal in human suffering, to make money or indulge their baser desires, not out of need, but greed, and a lack of empathy for their fellow human.…

Why not a police sim? It’s a game and games should allow one to take up the mantle of someone else and walk in their shoes, be it a person of another gender, profession, country or a dragon, a spirit or a cloud.

Liberal: I believe in tolerance and holding space for multiple viewpoints.
Also Liberal: If you are pro-life you are stupid.

Okay as someone who hates Donald Trump, why is it our business if a game developer chooses to spend their money backinng up the politician they like? If conservatives bash someone for financially backing Joe Biden, it is (or at least I find it) distasteful, but it’s hypocritical to suddenly not be okay with an…

You don’t get to speak for every LGBT+ person on the planet. I find this absolutist culture absolutely reprehensible. I couldn’t sleep for two days when Trump was elected, and his nightmarish crusade to stay in power on the basis of lies, in an attempt to in effect end political freedom in this country, was indeed…

I mean... they can have games that feature political turmoil from the characters and setting, without trying to make some sort of grand political statement about the real world.

But I guess that kind of nuance is a bit difficult for some of the contributors around here, who would rather just post reactionary news…

Peppa Pig is one of the better shows targeted towards younger children IMO. 

Spoiler: The game will sell really well because it’s a AAA Harry Potter game.

If under 5% of all the men you ever had sex with actually took actions to give you pleasure... might I suggest:

Adding to that, these seizures are not inducible on people without a specific gene predisposition.

From a neurologist friend:

I’m Chinese, and I’m stealing that joke. Not that I have many (any) opportunities to knee people, but if I did, I’d yell, “See these knees? These are CHI-KNEES” as I do so.

But it isn’t racist. This is just being ridiculously blown out of proportion, which is a shame for the cast/crew involved, as the movies is now doomed. China is so fucking racist - why the hell are we still pandering to their shit. We all still remember John Boyega almost disappearing off The force awakens poster, the…
