Oh no, hate site the Ree has decided to support infamous hate icon JK Rowling's latest hate tweets

Yes, I am now less likely to purchase the game. Votes: 225 25.1%

No, her statements have had no bearing on my interest in the game. Votes: 606 67.6%

I get that most of those jobs had him living in some of the most expensive cities in the world, but even knowing that, I’m going wtf over Klepek making 6 figures/year for what he does.  Enthusiast videogames press was a mistake.

Big oof

This "journalist" doesn't think about all the unpaid hours poor Klepek has to spend playing the games

[HaughtyFrank]

So I went to the corner store to get some snacks. A 30-something white lady was blocking a lot of the path, so I said "Excuse me" and walked around her.

As I was standing in line she suddenly whipped around and yelled, "YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY EXCUSE ME!?" Since I don't like apologizing to people who screech at me over dumb shit I calmly corrected her that actually, I did say excuse me. She probably just didn't hear me because of my mask.

She said I was "fucking lying" and continued yelling at me. It took like a minute for her to drop it. I didn't yell or cuss back, I didn't flip her the bird or start recording, and she still kept on going that long.

.........and I'm white. Is it wrong of me to think that if I was black she might've threatened to call the police even though she appeared to be paying back a black woman money she owed her on my way out? Because holy fuck I can't even-

No wonder game bloggers get super butthurt when people tell them to learn to code when they lose their jobs; that would be a big step down financially.

[Tuckers Law]

Yeah that shit is wild.  I don’t ever want to hear people like him and Schrier complain about their pay-workload ratio again.  Im nearly 100% certain that there are plenty of actually essential workers working in those cities that would love to be making almost any of those salaries listed.

“But I had to play so many games outside my working hours, it was haaaaaaaaard”. Bitch please, don’t act like yours is the only profession that takes their work home with them.

[paprikastaude]

Did those ""essential"" workers ever do anything to call out the toxic colonialism of Super Mario Bros? Didn't think so.

[HaughtyFrank]

So Karen no longer means a white woman who yells at minorities? Its just angry white ladies in general?

"Karen" does not necessarily imply the person being racist. It's just that Karen-like behaviour targets people of color disproportionately because that's just how entitlement works.

So even a woman of color could be a Karen.

You've done it RE. Mission accomplished.

I will not purchase this game. I do not want to associate with anybody who I know has purchased this game. I do not want the Harry Potter series to be in the cultural consciousness for even a moment longer. In threads like this, you see a lot of people proud of their ability to separate set from artist. This is a sign of privilege. When you go out of your way to let us know that you intend to exercise that privilege? It starts to become difficult for me to separate you from the artist. You think that by regurgitating the same old platitudes, you can have your cake and eat it too, both buy the game and not support Rowling. You cannot do this. You cannot do this. You cannot do this.

No one said you or others shouldn’t buy it or enjoy it.

[Snoopycat_]

I’m frankly horrified so many people are “separating art from the artist” when the artist is spewing hate speech and she stands to profit enormously off of her brand’s continued success, giving her an even bigger platform and allowing her hate speech to reach more ears.

No, horrified isn’t the right word. Disgusted, that’s the right word for this conversation. I’m disgusted at people’s insistence her hate speech can be ignored and her brand supported while half of trans kids contemplate suicide because of rhetoric like hers.

I’m so fucking angry.

Horrified, disgusted, angry. Really? Like you don't know you're on a forum that puts capitalism and video games above all else?

Although this type of high handed bullshit is even worse -

This kind of whatabout trash should stay at GAF or the gaming side.

lol

Is a fucking video game forum, you bitch.

[Drainage]

What does “can’t really support Atlus” mean?

Does it mean I buy all their games but don’t cheerlead about it on the forum?

Does it mean I wait to buy their games on sale?

Does it mean I keep those figurines in a drawer when people come over?

[Boredfrom]

I think if people want to play/watch/read something just because they want to without taking into account the questionable stuff said by the creator, they should just get on with it and not try to come up with an excuse for it. It's not really helping anybody

 

Be careful for what you wish for.

[Boredfrom]

Racist elitist centrist Poodlestrike closes the thread:

JK Rowling is a TERF. Her statements have been hurtful to the trans community and those outside of it with a functioning sense of empathy. This is essentially undeniable at this point, and if you choose to support Harry Potter going forward, you need to grapple with that.

We understand that this may be difficult for some people; the property is and was a large part of many people's upbringing, and we can't allow outright hostility towards people dealing with the fallout of JK finally making it plain that she is, in fact, a bigot. However, ultimately, that bigotry *does* affect what it means to support the game and other HP products. This thread will remain locked.

It‘s extremely difficult to not give money to JKR because the Harry Potter books are extremely rare and almost non-existent in the second hand market so you just gotta buy new. The other issue is that the Fantastic Beast films are cinematic masterpieces that cannot be missed so I see why people are being put in a difficult situation.

Nah, they made a thread celebrating him when he went to Kinda Funny. Is probably worse given that is pretty obvious he has nothing for contempt for them since Gaf days. They also loved him during the THQ shitshow given he was the only one trying to make it a thing.
