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 -
That's Gamers for you.
