This whole boycotting thing would be much harder if we lost anything of value.

yeah turns out boycotting is really easy when you pick and choose based on if it's already something you like or not

when you just have to see mando and black widow so bad that you look the other way on disney's support of muslim genocide



also why isn't all WB content on the list?  WB own the harry potter license, supporting anything they do helps fund the next harry potter project

johnny depp was in fantastic beasts so you can't support any other films he was in

wait now I'm doing it

This whole boycotting thing would be much harder if we lost anything of value

This is what gets me.  They're super good at picking and choosing atrocities to pay attention to and more often than not, they go for the social expression ones that are several steps removed from actual quantifiable effects on society over the ones that are demonstrably awful and indefensible in every way.

You have to jump through mental hoops to assume lining the pockets of an already rich British author is going to fundamentally change anything.  It's like saying Roman Polanski getting a standing ovation normalizes child rape when all it did was show rich people can avoid consequences.  Hogwarts Legacy can sell a grand total of zero copies and Rowling will still be donating to whatever anti-trans nonsense she wants to and likely in the same amount as if the game sold more copies than Minecraft.

Meanwhile, you got a company filming outside concentration camps during an active genocide that you get to call progressive because gay people are now allowed to kiss on screen without pushback.  So brave!

But hey, it's still a site based around luxury consumer products, so gotta pick and choose where to draw the outrage line.  And as we all know, 90s era progressives having trouble with adapting to further progress is a bigger crime than a pre-final solution modern day Holocaust.

my assumption is kyuuji already isn't a harry potter fan so it's going to be real easy to avoid it, hence trashing it all the more strongly to keep up appearances of a powerful boycotter

I could’ve sworn Benji shared a post of hers once where she mentions visiting and spending hundreds of dollars on merch at Hogwarts Land or whatever the fuck it’s called.

Might have been this other deranged fellow:

Okay, so, I am a transwoman. I've been a Harry Potter fan since I was old enough to pick up and read a Harry Potter book. More than any other fandom, this is the one I was raised on. I am hurt and enraged by JK Rowling's behavior, and I will never have the same joy and interest in the series I once did. I'm not rushing out to buy the Lego Diagon Alley that I would have flipped for years ago. The Lego Hogwarts and Hogwarts Express and Knight Bus in my closet will likely never be displayed, despite how much Hogwarts cost me. When I was in Universal Studios Hollywood this past Winter, yea, I checked out the Wizarding World because I was already in the park, but I didn't buy any merchandise, and I didn't really enjoy it too much. I'm almost certainly not going to wear Ravenclaw clothes or accessories ever again. This has effected me deeply on an emotion level, and I feel, above all, betrayed. And the more Rowling outs herself, the more I realize how Harry Potter isn't Feminist at all, how the goblins are pretty anti-Semetic, how, as a progressive American, I chould have been offended by house elves much sooner, and so forth.

That said, JK Rowling doesn't get to take a massive part of my childhood away by being such a bitch. She does not, in fact, own this story she gave the world. She doesn't own my relationship to Harry Potter, and I'm not going to systematically destroy all of my childhood joy. She doesn't get to take away that joy of being 25, able to afford to travel abroad for the first time ever, and getting my picture taken at Platform 9 3/4s on a chilly London winter's day. Which is to say, I'm not going to throw my books or DVDs out. I'm not going to display or wear merch again, I'm not going to buy merch again, and I'll never respect JK Rowling again, but I'm not going to never read the series again, or never watch the movies again. This series is my childhood, and she doesn't get to take that away from me. I'll never love it the way I once did, or openly display that love, but I'll never fully abandon it.

Which leads me to this game. Honestly? Probably buying it whenever I get my hands on a PS5. Yea, fuck JK Rowling. She didn't write this game, though. I believe WB Games when they say she wasn't involved. And when I say she doesn't get to take the Potterverse away from me, well, I'd love to see someone else's take on the world, rather than her's. And given Rowling's notable distaste of video games, I can believe she just wasn't interested in being involved. Will she financially benefit from my purchase? In a tiny way, yes, but she's so fuck-you rich it doesn't matter. Plus, no ethical consumption under Capitalism. And, yea, I feel a bit bad saying that, but I'm a Japanese RPG fan. Persona 5 is my favorite game ever, and it's directly homophobic and misogynistic. Another favorite is Valkyria Chronicles, and, well, Valkyria Chronicles 4 went off a misogynistic deep end (and Valkyria Chronicles 1 did not at all handle anti-Semitism well). As a Japanese pop culture fan, I'm unfortunately used to finding something offensive and enjoying it at the same time I'm upset. That's going to be my relationship to this game. I've spent a good, what, 20 years waiting for this game? I'm not going to walk away from it now just because some close-minded TERF bitch doesn't want me in her women's spaces. Rowling can fuck off, and I'll play the game I want to play.

At least they admit to being a huge hypocrite.

Dude it's ALL an issue. Part of the reason their characters get brought up so much is because there's a lot wrong with all of it.

Pyra's tits are basically the size of melons and put upon a thin and petite frame, her bust is made even more apparent by "boob sock-ing" each breast into a suctioned-on outfit. The game features numerous angles to ogle her, and numerous design choices to call attention to different sexualized parts of her body. On top of that you have a rather demure personality where even she's written to be embarrassed by it, so it almost feels out of character for her to be in that outfit.

Then there's Mythra... Then there's the other rare blades (like over 30 of them last I remember counting?).... A majority which are female and a majority that are also sexualized to varying degrees.

No part is more or less of an issue when it's the whole package that's kinda dubiously made.

am i the only one that is even more exited about their new amiibos? mithra amiibo here we go!

I had to cancel my Mythra one...That still hurts me (bad timing where my rainy day fund got wrecked by a broken fridge).
I really reaaly want the amiibo to fix that little injustice.

Is there any news on it yet?

It makes a lot more sense if you consider that a lot of takes on ERA are purely performative and to "keep up appearances" with their peers. This is even easier to understand when you also consider that the mods have their backs by squashing any attempt to point out their hypocrisy (see Kyuuji with CP 2077 or Messo with his arranged marriage).

Avalanche Software (not to be confused with Avalanche Studios, the Just Cause guys) was outright owned by Disney, so this piece of shit gator was a literal Disney employee, before Disney shut them down after they canned Infinity.

WB then picked up Avalanche's remains to do the Harry Potter game.

the irony being, if #gamergate diehards really wanted to claim another scalp, the feminist owner of the IP which this studio is developing from would have the capability to request some internal shuffling so that a perceived misogynist is no longer attached to the project.

That'll also be a good example of their lack of solutions except bans when they go and ban the guy. Other posters complained about his post, he had a dialogue with them, now he understands why they complained and edited his post accordingly. Problem solved.

But the mods will roll in on the back of the reports and need to feel the need to do something more and will ban him. (Especially with Weltall Zero calling attention to his history of history.) And probably edit the rape stuff back into his post.

Freedom of speech doesn't imply freedom from consequences!

This phrase is very popular, but with such a broad and vague wording, it could easily include state suppression or worse as an implied "consequence".
In other words, it doesn't mean much.

And to be clear: I don't like Hasél and I don't like his lyrics, he's an idiot and a attention seeker, but I don't think he should be imprisoned.

Our freedom of speech is freedom or death. We got to fight the powers that be. Lemme hear you say:

Just to check again if this game holds up, just played it again (old school, no save states) and managed to beat it without losing a continue or even a single turtle (few close calls though), I did spent some time farming the scrolls for all turtles though (finally making mike and ralph not useless), this didn't take as long as I remember.

I was surprised I still remembered where the route to get all the bombs on the water level, and the road to finish the 3rd Level.

4th level I went with my gut on where to go, I just remembered that you have to go for the levels that scroll to the right to go forward, and you eventually get to the end, the closing spike walls near the end are still nerve wraking.

5th level got lucky with the technodrome and found it in my first try with all my turtles in good health.

Final level went almost full scroll weapon while avoiding the jetpack guys specially on the last corridor, shredder is easy with the scroll too.

The game does hold up and it's still great, and the music slaps
