It’s odd, I’m at this point where I see any mention of the wizard game I immediately jump to the comments to see what the discourse is, I think I do it to see what the connect is from Era types to normal people

 This lunatic thread is still going on with the same theme: it sucks that black cops are facing justice for their brutality.

How often and where that happens today is the question mark, but it will happen. And it's tiring, because the problems are so obvious and the bullshit excuses and defenses are so hollow and tiring. Fox News will already have their story of "police were given swift justice, why are people protesting now?" failing to realize it was only because there was something not quite all white about these officers. The rest of the playbook of bullshit and deflection is the same, they just skipped past the first few steps on the flowchart. If these cops looked different, we'd perhaps be at this step what, 12~18 months from today? They'd still be getting paid, and what the fuck does that say about all this?

  How can you possibly believe this in the current climate in America?  How?  A white kid with a MAGA hat smiling at a native American was on every news channel for 4 months straight.  Pretty sure 5 white cops brutally killing a black man would probably make it on primetime news and those cops might just face swift repercussions.  Just a hunch, though -- what do I know?

[HaughtyFrank]

It would be interesting to know what the stats are on police getting fired/charged and their skin color. It could be that they're right but it's also a perfect trap for falling into confirmation bias because they'll only remember the times they were right.
Kind of a difficult topic to google because "Police" and "race" will usually focus on the victims.

Im really sorry and I dont mean to derail or pick the scab, but this really upset me this afternoon.

After coming out to ERA first and foremost out of everyone I know, because of ERA and being supported by ERA its upsetting to see, ire being focused towards our community and not towards those that was belittle and denigrate a community. That such fury and anger could be caused not by that person on twitters actions, but by the posters here was disheartening and saddening. It upset me and made me feel impotent to speak out for fear of being actioned.
I have been away from here since CP2077 where the team promised such subjects were important and people were listening.

I'm really sorry to derail and if you must ban me or warn me for venting spleen publicly, but its sooooo important to me, and it makes me so sad, not for me, but the next poor cow looking for a place to finally be herself and come out.

I am only alive and here and as happy I can be because of ERA and trans ERA specifically.
Really sorry, but I am very very upset, and this may be more better for my health than just screaming at a screen.

It upset me and made me feel impotent to speak out for fear of being actioned.

I just love that even getting the tiniest whiff of their own medicine upsets them so much. Even B-dubs tugging his tail isn't good enough and this very well adjusted person is currently screaming at their screen

Hell, B-Dubs is transphobic anf he's even bowing down for them.

Okay sounds good. What is it about? Well there is a new college student that is told to avoid a philosophy class because he is anti-Jesus and wants you to write he is dead on paper or the students can't take his clas..or he is remove...or he bankrolled the campus. The other students just want an easy grade realizing the professor is a moron but one student refuses stating Yes Jesus did exist and died but why is this happening. Yes! Finally the professor says before the student continues and says he resurrected though and he was a really nice and chill dude I'm glad he is watching over us. After looking over his transcript bursts forth with anger I had you all write that to prove stupid Christian thought needs to be dead. Not a good sell said the student. Most people would wanna follow Jesus teachings cause God was a asshole most times. The teacher got an idea a most awful idea. You are right even the dumbest could not except a God's not dead title plus even if they are the worst people alive going against a title that their "god" is impervious towards and ignoring Jesus which they do anyway is genius! God can't die so am I

It's pretty simple

-There's nothing transphobic in Hogwart's Legacy
-People like the Harry Potter IP
-People don't like being manipulated and coerced by a bunch of dye haired, screaming loons that change their pronouns and gender weekly in their bio what they can or can't play
-Everyone can see this is not even about trans rights at this point. It's about exerting control via shaming and guilt-tripping.

Disappointing, but not surprising. The replies are also exactly what you'd expect from chuds. At this point I truly do not trust a single cis person (but especially cishet men) in the gaming sphere to not be a transphobic shitbag in one way or another, unless they have vocally come out in support of trans people numerous times & not only did it when it was convenient for them & their clout. All those tweets are dogshit, but the one about wanting devs to talk to him about the „the devs have been paid so sales mean nothing to them" couldn't be more transparent. Looking forward to his news article getting mad about trans people & saying how we're spreading misinformation & all want those sad devs to starve /s.

Nobody has ever said that the devs don't see a single cent from sales. I'm sure they'd get bonuses & whatnot, but it was always about the fact that they get their fucking paychecks either way. That they won't just not get paid at all if the game has a few less sales from people caring about transphobia & antisemitism & that people doing the morally right thing & not supporting an IP from a violent transphobe won't matter much for the devs at the end of the day. None of them will end up homeless, because some people won't buy & cover TERF Legacy, the game will sadly sell like hotcakes either way. „Think of the devs" is such a dogshit argument anyway, because none of those people buy every game made by every developer in existence so they're naturally already doing the thing they're accusing us of lol.

Thing is, I couldn't care less if someone buys TERF Legacy if they at least shut their trap about it. I will judge them & think a bit worse of them either way, surely, though only if I'd, you know, actually catch that they're playing it through mutual friends or social media or whatever.

But none of these people - Henderson included - can actually shut the fuck up about it. They all have to fucking parade it around that they're buying the game while also either dismissing or outright harassing trans people in the process which is why I just have no fucking sympathy for any of the people „just wanting to play the game". If you „just want to play it", do everyone a favor & shut the fuck up about it & don't even bring up the fact that you're buying it in the first place, because 99% of the time it's people doing it in bad faith as seen by how it's pretty much always followed by either thinly veiled or very open transphobia.

[Straight Edge]

but none of them have the guts to @ Henderson in the thread.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Why can't these spineless chuds just accept everything I say as true without fact checking, only consume media I permit them to, never question my beliefs even when they are at face value staggeringly incorrect and possibly dangerous, talk about anything they might enjoy in terms that don't make it clear how that affects me is the most important thing, or reconcile mutually exclusive facts on a case by case basis of whichever I deem is most convenient at a time.

So called fucking 'allies'.

I can't wait for the Hogwart's Legacy to turn out to be the general populace turning on these mentally ill douchebags.

You want people to be allies? Act the complete opposite of how you act now. How is this absolutely deranged behaviour helping any trans cause. The biggest damage isn't done by JK Rowling. It's done by you lunatics. Show some decorum for crying out loud.

You don't want to be hated? Don't make it so goddamn easy for people to hate you.

hmmm... let's check one of their own recommended articles:

https://www.themarysue.com/debunking-every-lie-youre-telling-yourself-about-hogwarts-legacy/

Good article is good just for fact alone their response for “think of the devs” is “do you buy every game?!”

What about the developers?
Do you buy every game ever made to “support the developers?” No, I didn’t think you did. So maybe don’t use that as an excuse to buy this one. Here’s the thing: video game developers get paid before the game’s launch. Whether or not the game is successful doesn’t affect their paychecks. The people who do benefit from game sales are CEOs, shareholders, and creators who make royalties (like Rowling). So if you really want to shore these folks how displeased you are with Rowling’s behavior, not buying the game would stick it to her and make companies still trying to use HP as a cash cow rethink future partnerships. The Fantastic Beasts movies ended due in part to low ticket sales, so it’s worth a shot.

 

Could it be that they're full of shit?

Man all of you talking about why the police were fired because of the race are weird af. Filthy pigs assaulted the poor guy so bad that they broke his damn neck and caused him to go into cardiac arrest. If there is footage of that then the actual reason they were fired so fast is not because of their race but because of the brutality of their actions.

Basically, you must prostrate yourself in front of them daily chanting "trans rights and human rights!!!" for you to be considered an "ally." This is cultish behavior. This is something you'd expect out of a Scientologist's mouth.

Thing is, I couldn't care less if someone buys TERF Legacy if they at least shut their trap about it. I will judge them & think a bit worse of them either way, surely, though only if I'd, you know, actually catch that they're playing it through mutual friends or social media or whatever.

We all know this ain't true. Since you all happily launch internet mobs at anyone of note on social media saying they want to play HL, even getting that person fired from their job if you all could. Having even a simple, closed off OT you all could easily ignore wasn't enough. The game needed a full banning off the site. Anything less was perpetuating "trans genocide."

But none of these people - Henderson included - can actually shut the fuck up about it. They all have to fucking parade it around that they're buying the game while also either dismissing or outright harassing trans people in the process which is why I just have no fucking sympathy for any of the people „just wanting to play the game".

People have no obligation to shut up because you people can't stop stalking others to see if they dared say they played "the wizard game." 90% of your issues about seeing HL discussion would be solved by GETTING OFF TWITTER, which you all said you'd do anyway when Musk took over. What happened about that?

All those tweets are dogshit, but the one about wanting devs to talk to him about the „the devs have been paid so sales mean nothing to them" couldn't be more transparent. Looking forward to his news article getting mad about trans people & saying how we're spreading misinformation & all want those sad devs to starve /s.

Basically, you must prostrate yourself in front of them daily chanting "trans rights and human rights!!!" for you to be considered an "ally." This is cultish behavior. This is something you'd expect out of a Scientologist's mouth.

Thing is, I couldn't care less if someone buys TERF Legacy if they at least shut their trap about it. I will judge them & think a bit worse of them either way, surely, though only if I'd, you know, actually catch that they're playing it through mutual friends or social media or whatever.

We all know this ain't true. Since you all happily launch internet mobs at anyone of note on social media saying they want to play HL, even getting that person fired from their job if you all could. Having even a simple, closed off OT you all could easily ignore wasn't enough. The game needed a full banning off the site. Anything less was perpetuating "trans genocide."

But none of these people - Henderson included - can actually shut the fuck up about it. They all have to fucking parade it around that they're buying the game while also either dismissing or outright harassing trans people in the process which is why I just have no fucking sympathy for any of the people „just wanting to play the game". If you „just want to play it", do everyone a favor & shut the fuck up about it & don't even bring up the fact that you're buying it in the first place, because 99% of the time it's people doing it in bad faith as seen by how it's pretty much always followed by either thinly veiled or very open transphobia.

People have no obligation to shut up because you people can't stop stalking others to see if they dared say they played "the wizard game." 90% of your issues about seeing HL discussion would be solved by GETTING OFF TWITTER, which you all said you'd do anyway when Musk took over. What happened about that?

Can't wait until trophies/achievements are used as evidence to ban people.

Hey folks,

We apologize for making our own thread derail. If you'd like to discuss this further my PMs are open or feel free to submit a ticket. This subject is very important to us so please continue.

Was the message changed?

Yes they edited it. Looks like Messy remains banned while the Richter one was reversed.

This is straight from 1984. Rewrite history to erase any evidence of the overlords having used wrongspeak/wrongthought.

I can't wait for the Hogwart's Legacy to turn out to be the general populace turning on these mentally ill douchebags.

You want people to be allies? Act the complete opposite of how you act now. How is this absolutely deranged behaviour helping any trans cause. The biggest damage isn't done by JK Rowling. It's done by you lunatics. Show some decorum for crying out loud.

You don't want to be hated? Don't make it so goddamn easy for people to hate you.

Pouring one out for the trans people that are actually just trying to live their lives.

what fucking sucks is how thoroughly the wagons are circled

if you sin, you are expelled from the culture, and all potential future support or help

so it already sucks being a trans person in general, you hate the body you're stuck in and how society treats you, and all you have is the community to validate you and source you cheap hormones and retweet your tweets

but step out of line once and say "...actually I like harry potter and will be playing the game regardless" and you're turbofucked

if you ever have a bad day and need support, you're not getting it, one of the most vulnerable types of people and you've been made persona non grata


this has the effect of literally making rejection of Wizard Game an actual part of the trans identity and experience, it's inextricable, how fucking insane is that

It's so strange to me that after watching Jessie Gender's big video on this, I still got two friends who just going by the title were absolutely convinced that they have to support the game and had no problems telling me, a person who came out to them as non-binary that it doesn't matter.

One of them I've completely shut out and they're constantly calling me now not understanding why I could be so close-minded.

I truly don't know what to say to most people they don't seem to understand what their impact does but then again there are people even on the site who defend silly corporations for even weirder things. I still will slide I people who still buy Tesla's more that they know how Musk really is. And of course if somebody who is native I just have to roll my eyes at the stands who are excited over a movie making billions of dollars, but somehow ignoring the whole white savior nonsense.

Nobody's perfect and everybody has blind spots... Lord knows I've had mine and I've dealt with them as I can, but I'm trying to be a better person and hell acknowledging that no one really can be a true hero and and that those you look up to there will always be something.

What's important to me is that I do my part I try my best to let people know that hey I'm here for you we're all in this together. If no one stands up then at least let me be there as well. Because of the bigotry gets ignored, the rest of the racism and other stuff will be just as consumable.

I have a cousin who came out as transgender last year who is buying the game. They don't like Rowling but say the whole thing is an overreaction and everyone supports companies who do bad things. As she is a billionaire either way. I shared this post with him and he shrugged his shoulders basically.

Some people take the position that you can't support Rowling in any way without being a bigot. While others are fine turning a blind eye to things she has said.

I have shared this original post to many people including my cousin. But it seems most people don't really care either way. Is it just ignorance do you think? Or what causes some people to care so much and some don't care at all about her views.

Get him a Era account.  He will fit in seamlessly.

Why doesn't everyone think the same way I do?  Do they have different thoughts and emotion too?  Like a mind that I don't share?

Mods banned the police brutality video before it was even out

Bodycam footage of Tyre Nichols' death has been released. Because of its extensively graphic nature, as well as concerns over how traumatizing the spread of these videos can be for Black members, we're banning the video from being posted. Discussion of the contents will be allowed, but detailed descriptions of the footage must be spoiler tagged; if you have to ask, err on the side of caution and tag it. Failure to heed any of these rules will result in actioning as we see fit.

Ehh...I agree with them on that ban. Saw some clips and shit was brutal and cruel. The victim was used as a pinata.

Had a party at the office with some clients and (former) co-workers.
The topic of gaming came up as some just bought PS5's. They were excited for Hogwarts because they all loved Harry Potter as kids and to my surprise they started to talk about the trans issues related to the game.
These are meme aware folks sure but they're not much into the online community stuff they just play God of War because it's the hot new game or Call of Duty or whatever is big at any given moment.
Some guy explained he never pre-orders and always waits for deals but he made an exception for Hogwarts Legacy because he and his wife can't wait to play it.

The trans community really barked up the wrong tree here. They don't understand how popular JK Rowling's writings are and how big Harry Potter is.

I took away 2 things away from this:
This game is going to be absolutely massive. It's reaching out to that GTA/Assassins Creed/FIFA/Madden market even more so than Elden Ring already did. Let's say 7 out of 10 in this crowd skipped out on Elden Ring so far because they thought it would be too difficult but they were interested in it and might pick it up later, one girl especially because George R.R. Martin worked on the backstory.

The trans community is unlikely to recover if they continue this nonsense. It's like admitting that you hate cats. No one will like or want to engage with them.

[Daffy Duck]

Oh for sure Hogwarts Legacy is going to be absolutely massive

They are getting pissy a rapist isn't going to a women's prison. Safe to say the trans community--at least the always online set--have completely lost it.

The Tinder incel

I honestly don't know how to really phrase this thread or how to even title it, but it's something I've been ruminating on for about 5 years in my own head and with my therapists.

So basically, do you think the Internet, especially those who grew up with it while we were developing our sexuality and attractions, were affected by it? I grew up in a very isolated rural town and went to a Christian school that basically pretended that attraction to any sex or gender didn't exist. I didn't really learn anything from my parents either. But I did have the Internet and I was exposed to a lot of extreme stuff from a really early age. I don't really want to get into it, but it was stuff that you would definitely either put a CW on or outright report it. But for the most part, I was infatuated with erotic illustrations (i.e. hentai) from middle school through basically the modern day.

Now that I'm 33, I've kind of realized that I just don't find anybody my own age or those who just have an air of a mature woman about them, attractive at all. I mostly find petite women or those who have youthful features attractive. This led me to looking at teen porn and usually in all the wrong places, and you know where this is going, led me to looking at some child sexual abuse materials. It really, really fucked me up bad. I had to go to two different therapists over five years wanting to first kill myself and then just being worried that I was a pedophile. While I've mostly put these behind me, I still find myself only able to be attracted to "younger" looking people and my therapists all tell me that we're just attracted to what we're attracted to saying it's an innate thing that we just have - similar to one's sexual identity - just something you're born with.

I push back sometimes and say that I think the stuff that I was exposed to as a kid is what influenced my attraction and that if I wasn't, I would have developed normally. They tell me that's just self destructive talk and that I'm normal. I know era isn't a psychiatrist but I'd still like the opinions of those who are largely around my age who maybe had similar experiences and what they think. Do you think what we're exposed to at a young age has an effect on our attractions and sexuality? And is the Internet responsible for those of who at least feel we're abnormal?

This is just a lot, from the JK hate thread:

Aside from what others already said, I'd also like to mention that trans people really are not a monolith & that you'll always find ones who only care about themselves. I'm not saying that that's what your cousin is like, but trans men & transmasc people do not automatically care about trans women & transfem people & vice versa as much as they obviously should. Buck Angel is one of the vilest transmisogynistic pigs out there & he's a trans man. A few years back, I got into tons of arguments with freshly transitioning trans boys/young men my age who were utterly transmisogynistic towards friends of mine while also being really fucking lesbophobic & dismissive of lesbians using he/him pronouns. Again, I'm not saying your cousin is that way at all. But things like these are a good thing to keep in mind in general when you see some trans & otherwise queer people supporting JKR or otherwise not giving a fuck about her transphobia. Same with any other fucked creators.

There'll always be people who do not give a fuck about the feelings of the general population they're a part of & I honestly don't even think it's worth tirelessly arguing with them especially if they're really young & stubborn. Giving them good sources is always great, but chances are that they'll probably grow out of that phase at some point if they're not already completely lost. There's tons of people who used to be fans of a super gross transmedicalist trans man on Youtube called Kalvin Garrah, who now that they're a few years older, realized just how fucked up & harmful the shit he spread was. Definitely give your cousin the articles deimos shared if you think they might help, but you can't force him to change his mind of course & none of us can really help with that either as we don't know him personally.

And like everyone else said, we can't absolve you of your guilt for buying TERF Legacy if you can't stop yourself. All I'm asking is that if you choose to get it, do not fucking mention it in here, because that's the last shit we need. We can't baby you people & tell you that it's okay to buy the wizard game & that you're forgiven & whatnot. Make up your own mind & keep to your morals if you have any. Also, no amount of donation will make it feel less gross, if you had considered that to off-set the purchase. Just don't ask trans people for help on an "issue" that's already been tirelessly discussed in here & don't take the opinion of one sole trans man as gospel when there's so many (especially transfem) voices in this thread & elsewhere who've talked about how deep JKR's hatred & harm towards trans people - especially trans women - runs.

Much like cis women should apparently defer to trans women when it comes to feminism, trans men should apparently also play second fiddle to trans women when it comes to trans issues. Because it is not even remotely possible a person could be informed, have views, and just come up with a different mental calculus for the appropriate response.

I have no idea what needle of moderation BDubs thinks they're threading right now, but constantly boosting one echo chamber over everyone else is working out great so far.

[HaughtyFrank]

Isn't it funny how minorities and their opinions are always a monolith until that's not convenient anymore? So if they're not a monolith why is any attack on the RE crazies considered an attack on the trans community as a whole? Why do they constantly speak for everyone trans? Why should anyone give a shit about what they say?
