So b chud told them not to discuss the game in the JKR megathread as well? I'm guessing this will be walked back. These mentally ill people will not allow the rules to be applied equally. They NEED to talk about the game.

Also interesting that it seems like users aren't even allowed to talk about the game in other threads. For example, in the PC monthly thread, users won't even be able to discuss it?

This is going to be a complete shitshow.

B-Dubs’ Legacy (of cowardice)

https://www.resetera.com/threads/concerning-hogwarts-legacy-and-jk-rowling.678517/
Quote
After continued internal discussion, we began to start outlining the issues put forth by Rowling and the game in question and each time, and as we discussed it all, we kept coming back to the simple fact that Rowling is not only a bigot but is actively pushing, in her position as a wealthy and famous individual, for legislation that will hurt trans people. That she uses the influence and money gained from her success with Harry Potter to push transphobic legislation.
Who the fuck wrote this garbage? I don't mean the content about Joanne, I mean the actual fucking sentences.

Huhhhh, Hamill's already been under fire liking Rowling's transphobic tweets which at that point he responded well and apologized. But this one is now blatantly worse.
I just checked, and he still follows Rowling on twitter.

So yeah, this looks really bad for Hamill.

(also how is Rowling's response even bad?)

This isn't reversing that btw, this is just a one time special exception because of just how violent Joanne has been.

Has she ever talked about the game? When there’s an uptick in noise around it, sometimes I check her Twitter and she’s usually posting about less important topics like women protesting in Iran.

Let me check rn

https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1616769124662906881

Nope. Still not about the game.

Let’s not let pretend that anyone watching Titanic including you or I had any real interest in what happened to those real-life people. It’s a historical event we’re far detached from and we all watched it for pure entertainment. That’s the reason anyone is watching Avatar as well.

And if we’re going to start holding every movie based on any real-life event to these strict ethical standards then we can probably toss out a good 90% of that filmography worldwide, cause they’re almost all garbage from that standpoint. They all care about telling a story far more than they care about fealty to the real-life subjects, and that’s probably true for your favorite thing.

Yes, all films "Based on a true story" change shit, sometimes a LOT. But they usually don't change a man who was known IRL to have died a hero and instead make a fucking murderer. Not only was William Murdoch celebrated in real life as hero who gave his life trying to save more passengers, he still had living descendants for whom, obviously, the matter was very personal. The story that an officer on Titanic shot two men and then himself is an old one, and given the chaos and confusion that was obvious happening as the ship was sinking, we still don't know if perhaps something like that happened. But all historians agreed that if something like that happened, it wasn't Murdoch. Cameron could easily have created a new, fictional officer to do that shit. But no, he chose Murdoch, because that's what the tabloid stories all said at the time before being thoroughly discredit. And when pressed to apologize, Cameron only gave a disgusting half-assed "sorry if you were offended type" bullshit.

Yeah, this is just nonsense from B-Dumbs at this point. He capitulated on Cyberpunk. He capitulated even more on HL since at least CP 2077 got an OT. Kyuuji and her crew have every reason to believe B-Dumbs will capitulate again in the future. Kyuuji and her people got that entire community under their thumb.

I’ll tell you what, one positive thing I can go regarding this whole thing is that hardly anyone I follow talk about this movie at all. It’s mostly been about the new Puss in Boots that I was glad to have watched over this movie.

I’ll be glad my money will go towards Sonic 3 over the 3rd Avatar movie. And yes both release on the same day as of now.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they asked for her not to be involved in the PR cycle for it. It's not like they really need her to do PR and it's not like she did anything specifically for the game. I could see some tweets or retweets or stuff when it comes out though, just kind of "its out" type of things. Or maybe if the reviews are really great or someone gives a good pullquote for her to retweet about it.

But all historians agreed that if something like that happened, it wasn't Murdoch.
WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT CAMERON IS FOR SMEARING THIS GUY:
Author Tim Maltin writes that, although the evidence is circumstantial, "it does seem that an officer did shoot himself and Murdoch seems the most likely candidate. As Titanic experts Bill Wormstedt and Tad Fitch point out...Murdoch was the man directly in charge of the ship in the hours leading up to the collision with the iceberg and he was therefore responsible for the ship and all its passengers during that time. His career at sea was effectively over, even if he survived the disaster".[24]

edit: lmao:
When Murdoch's nephew Scott saw the film, he objected to his uncle's portrayal as damaging to Murdoch's heroic reputation.[30] A few months later, Fox vice-president Scott Neeson went to Dalbeattie, Scotland, where Murdoch lived, to deliver a personal apology, and also presented a Ł5000 donation to Dalbeattie High School to boost the school's William Murdoch Memorial Prize.[31] Cameron apologized on the DVD commentary, but stated that there were officers who fired gunshots to enforce the "women and children first" policy.[32] According to Cameron, his depiction of Murdoch is that of an "honorable man," not of a man "gone bad" or of a "cowardly murderer." He added, "I'm not sure you'd find that same sense of responsibility and total devotion to duty today. This guy had half of his lifeboats launched before his counterpart on the port side had even launched one. That says something about character and heroism."[33]

People insist that the gloating is for fun, but you'd think a bunch of people were talking about your family the way people take any pre release doubt this personally. This is not an underdog story. Let it go.

People who spent the last 13 years plus opening weekend of the sequel last month saying it was going to massively underperform are handling Jimbo’s latest waltz into the $2 billion dollar club well.

I'm confident the BCT lunatics will be emboldened by their return to the top of the oppression Olympics food chain and will no doubt be calling for race wars and accusing anyone who isn't immediately ready to bear arms in support of being a racist genocider.

Surprisingly, people in constructive taking the metacommentary ban to not ban their metacommentary because it's the good kind:

Quote from: PMA
Great job on the ban. In the announcement it says any meta commentary for or against is not allowed. I realise I’m putting myself at risk even saying this but does this mean we are allowed to comment here? I think with so many NB/lgbtq folk here it seems a bit silly to say we can’t even agree with it!!!
Quote from: BabyDontHurtMe
I don't think that's what the "no metacommentary" rule means. I think it's just don't say something along the lines of "Oh I can't believe we canceled Hogwarts Legacy" in a completely irrelevant thread, or complaining about the general rules about the game in question in random threads.

They did catch one person for metacommentary in the JK thread:
Quote from: MondoMega
What would’ve been great is if staff listened when TransEra suggested a full ban alongside Cyberpunk back in 2020; but late is preferable to never, so I appreciate that the decision was finally made.
Wonder what about that post is different.

In any case, really not buying that the ban will stop people from witch-hunting and shading anyone who's caught playing. Especially Jewish people who don't comply when told they should be offended:

Had an "argument" with a friend of mine who pre-ordered the game.  His view was "Whataboutism" and that I spend money on people who probably have terrible views. I'm not saying Im not a hypocrite either and I'm not perfect, but I dunno, this seems pretty cut and dry.

Just fucking depressing man. People are like "Well my entertainment is worth a lot more" .
 
On top of that, he's Jewish and when I explained the coded Goblin part, he was like "Oh I mean it could be any goblin thing, its a children's book that got super popular" and "well, I like Harry Potter so ..."

And hey, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a game I would have loved as a child (and open world RPGs are my thing), Maybe I could suggest donating to a Trans charity the cost of a game? But its like "Just don't buy it, there are a ton of games".

So yeah, makes me sad is all. Curious to hear other thoughts. Apologies if this is not allowed and I can delete

I appreciate the effort but it sounds like he's dead-set on buying it. I'm not going to say no to a donation to a Trans charity. They deserve the money.

The goblins are a oppressed minority and despite controlling the wizarding world's banking system they are still banned from obtaining wands. I always hated how the other magical races were treated in the books. I wanted Harry to fight the system and change it for the better but he never did. It sucked then and it sucks now. The whole story behind the game is super gross to me (unless they pull some kind of twist where the goblins are actually being framed by the dark wizard) but I'm not holding my breath. I don't get why people still cling to this series when even as a child I could pick up on the racism of it.

He already pre-ordered it. Which I think is hilarious in that like you're pre-ordering a game from a studio who's last game was Cars 3. Like whats even the point of pre-ordering a digital copy at that.

I think as a child, you're just naive/innocent when you're 8/9 and literally aren't smart enough to make those connections. His view was also like "People cheer for the Empire in Star Wars, and they're Nazis." and it's like "Well, a) you're not supposed to cheer for the Empire and b) in HP, its the good guys who are like "yeah elves are fine. Fuck the non-magical people in the magic world"

I dunno, I dont pretend to be some holier-than-thou or even that I've never purchased something from someone who was bad, but I'm definitely someone who is like "okay, lets be real with ourselves, and not have this weird cognitive dissonance".

At this point, he's not a particularly close friend and only friends of friends. But if he brings it up again, I'll just mention make a donation or something if you're deadset but don't pretend that oh whats 1 more copy type thing.

My suggestion for sales threads: replace all mentions of Hogwart's Legacy with Forspoken

The Game That Shall Not Be Named

They are calling Hogwarts Legacy "The Wizard Game" now?

They're prepping for a word filter  :ohhh

There is no road to redemption for Trip Wire as long as they're run by a wannabe commander of Gilead

A fun game, though its a shame it seems to be forgotten by its developers and publishers. And considering some recent controversy, I support the devs.

It's not you EQ-Games, Pixel Dash Studios. It's Tripwire Interactive and their anti-abortion, pro-facist President John Gibson.

oh shit it was made by a literal fascist who wants to genocide

who would have thought the makers of a game about clotheslining other bikers with chains and committing robberies with your gang would stoop so low?

I guess I shouldn't play Motorcycle Game

There will be no escape for you B Dubs, for you reside within a prison of your own making.

Now if you'll excuse me, I think I shall purchase myself a gift basket.

No lie. I was planning on stopping by the Amazon Go store in Torrance on the right side of that video later on this afternoon.

Drove by the van location in Torrance. All cleared away. Finally made it to the Amazon Go store like I mentioned earlier, and it looks like they let everyone go home early since it was closed. Crazy how all of that happened hours ago in a normally quiet area.

Haha fuck you guys for finding someone to publish your game that struggled to find resources, you need a hit on your social credit score for working against The Party. I AM A GOOD PERSON IMPROVING SOCIETY TOWARDS TOLERANCE, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSIVITY!

Yeah the fact this shit still gets approved in Japan is so fucking disgusting, I know it's a different culture and all that but there's certain boundaries...
Even with the added context it's way too sus imo :/

This thread is racist as shit. Cherry picked screenshots posted without context and mistranslated, to perpetuate the idea that Japan makes creepy games for perverts.

I think we all know the ban was coming, the OT would’ve been an absolute shitshow of Elite members (Kyuuji and her apostles along with Zeo and Mess) hounding everyone posting in the thread and it would’ve just led to mass reports so it really wouldn’t be worth having one.

The interesting thing will come from how they handle the sale thread when it’s at number 1, I can see it being redacted from the list or they’ll find some really odd way to not have it like “no list threads” lol.

I do wonder if any elite members will face moderation because you know full well they won’t be able to contain themselves and will retreat to the bastion of the crimes of JK thread to discuss “the wizard game” etc

And if mods are reading this, then surely a catalogue of JK content needs to be removed because all your doing is boosting her message, can you not see the problem?

Hopefully Hamill has an explanation or an apology. He's usually pretty good at responding when called out. I'm not holding my breath, though.

The level of purity testing I've seen regarding Harry Potter has been genuinely insane.  It's not just Era, it's in a lot of places.  But these places are going to be in for a rude awakening when they find out they're in a bubble.  This isn't ground zero of the next culture war, it's a bunch of people with an extremely stringent world view screaming into a void with a megaphone.

And it's probably not going to turn out well for them.  Casting every enjoyer of the 8th highest grossing franchise in the world is a recipe for disaster and shows how unjustifiably militant people can be over how some engage with media.  This isn't people going "You know, Birth of a Nation had a point!", it's a silly series about magic that at worst could be argued to have poor depictions of real world marginalized groups via long-established fantasy groups like goblins.  You're never going to get the majority of people on board with hatred not only of the property, but people that like it as well.  And that's to say nothing of entire regions where it's extremely popular that literally don't know about the controversy like Asia, assuming they even know who Rowling is.  I wouldn't be surprised if this context is lost on people and they start attacking foreign HP fans like vtubers and LatAm streamers that play the game.  It's gonna be a shitshow.

I don't think you have to go that far to find people who aren't aware of the controversy. I've met very few people who aren't extremely online culture warriors (on either side) who know or care anything about JK Rowling's opinions. She's just the author of Harry Potter.

I will take a stand against the ongoing trans genocide and NOT buy the wizard game. I always knew something was off about Joanne that's why I couldn't even be bothered to read past the first book back when it came out.

I have always been an ally and you people make me sick since you cannot even do the bare minimum. Nobody is asking you to join the armed resistance against said genocide, but you people can't help yourself and you are going to buy something that is the equivalent of buying products from slave workers in concentration camps.

You should all be ashamed.
