It has less to do with judging fellow posters and more to do with making a statement in support of our trans community.

We'll all get over not being able to discuss the game here, it's really a very tiny thing to give up.

Well while we're deciding what is and isn't an easy thing for other people to miss out on in order to 'make a statement' because I, personally, don't give a fuck, let me suggest that maybe a thread about a high profile game on a videogame forum has more rationale for existing than a thread to literally stalk and incite hatred for an individual, and that doesn't even have enough ammunition to do that correctly so drags all sorts of vaguely tangential guilt by association 'evidence' in.

Because if the opinions of an individual are so damaging to your psyche you cannot tolerate the existence of derivative works, maybe a thread literally dedicated to obsessing about that individual is not good for you.

Most comments are basically “Lee Pace was great but the rest was really uneven”.

I disagree. I enjoyed lots of stuff with Gaal and Salvor. I also would question a lot of criticism that is basically saying "focus on the women of color less and more on the white guys"

I disagree and if you don’t agree with me you’re racist

I hate the royal family and want them abolished.

Saying that though, the replies both here and elsewhere that criticise Harry for talking about these issues are fucking terrible.

Harry is a royal so has lived a life of luxury and privilege so that will always go against him but he is the only one who actually tried to get away from his family.

He is a guy who married a black woman and had to watch his family not only be racist towards her but also use the institutional power they have to attack her publicly, all whilst trying to gaslight him and the world into believing they couldn't do anything to stop it.

The future king of England physically attacked him because of his wife, no doubt racially motivated, and yet some of the comments here are pretty disgusting.

Also posters pointing out some apparent hypocrisy between his attacks on the media and his netflix documentary and interviews is a straight up right wing talking point and completely wrong. There is a massive difference between the press invading your life against your will, to such an extent it partially caused the death of your mother, to willingly doing interviews and having say over what is and isn't aired. The fact so many people can't seem to grasp that is astounding.

Again I hate the royal family but I just can't believe so many people are falling for the propaganda that the Media have been doing to protect the royal family, even those who also don't like the royals are seemingly falling for it.

 

yeah, the difference between not wanting to be the subject of media scrutiny but an invasive press making you one anyway, and claiming to not want to be the subject of media scrutiny, but only outside of the curated authorised narrative that you yourself are organising and selling is literally the hypocrisy people are talking about you fucking spanner

If y’all can’t muster sympathy (some reasons understandable, some not) it’s pretty easy to move along.

Deepwater ban still treading water. Holiday season is over, get to it mods.

[clothedmacuser]

granted I don't live on the west coast but has anyone here tried talking about they/thems in real life? if you're making an honest effort it's excruciating, you stumble over every sentence and have to parse everything twice in your head, for both the speaker and the listener, you just want the conversation to move on to anything else

on the internet it's easy, even with as much trouble as era seems to have with it...IRL though?

like I actually don't want to be hurtful to anyone, and even want to try to train myself to make it work for potential times when it might matter...it absolutely does not work

I just got back from a friend's house, he's been watching a show with someone who identifies as they/them and was telling me about it. every sentence was halting as he checked himself, three or four times he said "sh--THEY are hilarious." he's the discord head who cares much more about this than I do, and even he can't do it

It's not easy and it's just another example of Era being totally out of touch with reality and literally being the "did you just misgender me?" meme.  People stumble over pronouns when someone has transitioned because they knew them as one gender for a long time an associated them with such and now they are a "new" gender.

The podcast How did this get Made? has an episode about the start of the fake group The Village People.  The movie features 



The comedians talking about the movie are all pro-LGBTQ and they even have mega lesbian Cameron Esposito as a guest to discuss the film.



Yet they continually trip up and call Jenner "he," "him," and constantly apologize and then at some point just give up and try to make it a about reviewing a total piece of shit movie.


For most of my life Elliot Paige was this cute girl.



Now Elliot Page is a guy.  A cute guy, sure, but they are Elliot Page.  I will make mistakes.  We don't yet have the temporal pronouns for referring to Elliot Page when Elliot Page acted in the movie Juno.  Yet soulless cunts like Exel will use your mistake as proof you want to genocide them.

I attempt to simply refer to Elliot Page as Elliot Page instead of using any pronoun.  But a horrid hose-beast like Excel considers that a genocidal level aggression.  Trans people in the real world are way cooler than those on Era.  The Era Trans people are like what ZeoVGM, and RedMercury are to normal people. 

[Propagandhim]

Sure, I understand not wanting to be misgendered when trans, but I don't really get being offended by being misgendered as a they/them.  You're in the middle of a binary that 99.99% of the world adheres to...isn't being completely alienated from humanity worse than someone naming you into the normal binary?  Who wants to be an "it"?   Like someone misgenders you, and their big crime is that they thought you fit into normative humanity.  What an unforgivable thing to do to someone.

All the royal shit is just pure gossip fodder. Was the family mean to Megan? Maybe, they're rich posh Brits, totally possible. Was Megan rude and disrespectful? Totally possible considering she mocks royal tradition even in her personal documentary.

An OT would just allow people to talk freely about the game without critically thinking about why Joanne Rowling is an awful person whose views actively harm the Trans community worldwide and that by financially supporting the game, people are giving Rowling more money to continue her hate-filled crusade.

People will see the opening post and information tag and just ignore it. People will see users posting about trans rights in the thread and will ignore them just like they do in every thread when HL gets brought up. We’ve seen it over and over. People will slide right on in and go “this game is gonna be great!” “Can’t wait to play!”

Yes, how dare people want to talk about a video game in a video game forum. A video game, mind you, from the looks of it is going out of its way to be as inclusive as possible. And how dare people ignore you and you ilks constant attempts to derail the threads and get them locked.

They are acting like Joanne personally programed transphobia into the game itself. Again, ignoring them is the one thing they hate the most. Take the hint, B-Dumbs.

Every time I think of her, I think of those poor game devs working on the Hogwarts game 😭

But who else could lovingly animate the villainous goblins trying to have equal rights?

You must understand, those developers need to be supported.

Do you want people developing this to starve? You monster.

see I don't even know if I would classify it as a mistake if no one has been hurt (i.e. you're not saying it in front of Page and/or Page understands it's weird and doesn't even care)

you can watch an old movie, with a cute girl in it, who identified as a girl, and played a girl character

if you say "she" maybe you're just talking about the character and not the actress, but even then I couldn't confidently call it wrong

like, imagine watching a family video of yourself. "ah, look at that happy child." UM EXCUSE ME, YOU'RE NOT A CHILD, YOU'RE A GROWN MAN, YOU CURRENTLY IDENTIFY AS AN ADULT SO YOU HAVE TO CALL THAT HUMAN ON SCREEN AN ADULT

Red Dead Redemption 2 just omits the scenes where Arthur Morgan took T, did voice training and daily binding, since to remind anyone of what he once was would be problematic, trans men ARE men

Batman Arkham Asylum takes place in a truly progressive world where not even the rogues gallery stoops so low as to misgender Batman

every animal in Animal Crossing is trans and it's just never brought up because the only way to be 100% happy in your new identity is to behave as if a transition never took place

User Banned (1 week): continuing thread derail after multiple people were given warnings for the exact same behavior

It definitely has a meaning, it's frequently used without meaning. Hakeem Jeffries does not fit this meaning. There's a lot of people who will still describe Joe Biden as a neoliberal, when they're really using it to describe any Democrat who is left of American center but to the right of the left. Candidate Biden in 2008 may have fit the bill as a neoliberal, but as president he certainly hasn't -- like those articles argue.

You know how some people question if Sanders is really a socialist? Like, he gave this big speech during the 2020 campaign about democratic socialism, and it ended up being more or less "double down on FDR, expunge Reagan." Very social democratic stuff overall. (Labels in general are wanderers when it comes to meaning. Inevitable for it to be difficult to keep them situated in some core shared understanding.) I think the reason is that a good chunk of the American left is, to a degree, situated against neoliberalism specifically - the form that capitalism has taken since the late 20th century. Anti-neoliberalism is not at all a space reserved for the left, but neoliberalism's pervasive, era-defining nature has meant two things: one, people who don't push against working within its paradigm will tend to do so just by default; two, it has often been outside the Democratic Party mainstream/establishment (e.g., the left) that people have found the lenses to see it for what it is and the room to critique it.

So yeah, we're kind of set up for it to be easy to call any Democrat who is to the right of the American left a neoliberal, even though easy doesn't necessarily translate into useful or productive. Biden absolutely has strong neoliberal credentials, as you said, but we are definitely living in interesting times with him as president. I doubt most of the left thinks the Biden Administration has left neoliberalism behind but it has no doubt tried to push back against some of its worst tendencies.

This feels like an admission that the "agenda" actually is demanding access to female only spaces, since this is, you know, the only objection JOANNE raised while saying "trans rights are human rights" and "I just want trans women to be safe" along with complaints that people are no longer using the word "woman" which if you'll remember TRANS WOMAN ARE WOMEN.

She has an inordinate amount of wealth already, I feel like any boat to use to stifle her voice is long gone because we didn’t know until very recently in relevant terms her views, she’s made her vast fortune already. Buying the game doesn’t make her less or more vocal about her shitty opinions on trans people. You’re more supporting Avalanche and WB’s investment than anything. If you have a bone to pick with Avalanche or WB for their actions or views that is prescient. Also, it’s not like Harry Potter has anti trans or LGBT content in it directly anywhere? I dislike her views a lot, but I really don’t see how anything we could do by playing it or not would change anything she’s done recently or during the past few year with her platform other than symbolically?

I understand the rage, but when it becomes basically unhinged from actual outcome based on idealism, I question that it isn’t purely just chest pounding.

I really don’t have any interest in reading her tweets or watching a video on someone reading her tweets. I get your point, but I ignore her and anything she puts on social media like any other person should to maintain their mental health lol. My point is just we can choose to ignore her like any other crazy online. The concern is using political influence via cash to actually deny trans people rights (which she could absolutely do with her vast wealth). From what I’ve seen she isn’t doing that? (I haven’t looked too closely at her financial contributions though) Not saying that doesn’t make her a shitty person, but the only reason she even has any stake in this fight is because she won’t shut up on social media basically because people keep highlighting her via outrage when she should just die in obscurity as that lady that wrote a beloved fantasy universe and then didn’t have anything good left to say. I just fail to see how in this case, not playing Hogwarts Legacy really hurts her. She can spin it’s failure as an attack on her views, free speech, etc and amplify it as much as a success can. The only way to win the game with her is by having her retweets be as low as possible and not engaging. But that is my opinion.

My response was more to posts like this

I want to burn this wretched world down seeing the number 1 on this list, and everyone playing this game will be my enemy, and I hope every one of you who plays the fucking Harry Potter game burn your hand into incapacitation, ban me if you want

That’s just insane. I don’t know, I clearly should shut up as it’s not my place to talk about things as a cis gender person, it doesn’t affect me and so it’s not fair for me to make those assertions. It’s all just feels so outsized. It’s a fantasy universe I can’t see directly as attacking trans people itself I guess?. I’m sorry, I’m not trying to ok her behavior or hand wave it. I’m just annoyed with people acting like someone playing a video game because of an association as being homophobic themselves or being anti trans.

I’ve clearly stepped in it, and I’m sorry. It was clearly a bad take born of ignorance. I don’t follow anything she does, because she just puts out endless garbage online and I find for my mental health and largely keep off of anything to do with that stuff. Much like I try to stay out of these argument as it’s clearly not helping anyone and I don’t have room to speak on an issue that isn’t pertinent to me. I should have just said, I’ll play it and continue to ignore her shitty opinions and accepted that I’ve supported her in some way.

Thank you, I appreciate the resources. I largely stay out of poli Era stuff nowadays as it just becomes a depression sink for me and destroyed my mental health for years back on GAF and early ERA days because it fed catastrophic thinking patterns. I honestly thought she largely just had an outsized position on Twitter/social media because she won’t shut up (you could say like me posting in here and it was just a constantly cyclical response). This is pretty awful stuff.

I’m not even sure what I’m looking at. Is this hardcore Rowling Stan’s showing their support at posh lunches by putting Rowling cutouts on their faces? Also I’m sorry to hear that, I know how much of a proponent you are and how much the larger community suffers due to archaic opinions on sex and gender.

Then, a couple of followup posts in the Joanne Megathread of Genocidal Wizardry:

I just wanted to say I appreciate the resources you peeps posted in the most anticipated games thread. I’m sorry for getting that shut down/derailed. I am taking a look at them, if didn’t fall on deaf ears.

I didn’t really realize her level of involvement with meaningful hate movements. I messaged Kyuuji and said something similiar as to what I posted here as I understandably could be banned or temp banned for derailing etc and wanted to acknowledge the posts. I think I referenced Rowling in the context to what I had knowledge about from probably years back at this point. That I had thought she was just a “rancid shit poster” so to speak. I have a generally nihilistic trending sometimes into pessimistic view on what kind of weight a decision like voting with my wallet in case like this because of how much money and clout she already has. Which I guess was my kind of failed discussion point. But also I was just a bit shocked I think, given my dirth of knowledge, by the really strong positions in that thread when I came in. She is those things, but it definitely seems like it’s moved far beyond just being a shitty person with poor views on Twitter.

Seems like he learned something right?

Who cares, he spoke incorrectly.

To get around it they should just copy and paste in every single post whatever screed is decided upon by the idiot moderation. Then they can have plausible deniability to discuss whatever they want about the game.

remember when that guy was posting a huge copypasta in every THQ Nordic-related thread about how we mustn't forget that they once hosted an AMA on 8chan and because some other era user claimed to have been filmed for child pornography, and 8chan had been associated with cp, that THQ Nordic was directly involving themselves in their personal trauma?

Ever think about how The Matrix has a notable (weirdly) right leaning fan base. Yet none of them care about the creators being two trans women (or debatably the non-binary Grant Morrison, if you want to be annoying). Nobody is yelling at Elon or that Pitbull cosplay guy to stop referencing The Matrix because it might make people tolerant. People make it overly complicated for themselves.

Anyway, anybody have any big plans tomorrow?

One way around the impasse might be to have the MAGA ultras arrested for conspiracy to overthrow the government. Since nobody has been sworn in yet, their congressional immunity from arrest doesn’t apply. That would focus their minds a bit.

Big if possible.

Yes, the Democrats should arrest enough Republicans so that they can have a majority in the legislature. Show those fucking Nazis you fuck around and find out! (Just in case any Congresspeople are reading this post during their regular rounds on The Bire for investment tips: you don't have "Congressional immunity" from committing crimes.)

I'm gonna go boycott the matrix premiere tomorrow for sure now!

This is a dress rehearsal for the next coup.

No Speaker? No House of Representatives.

No House of Representatives? No presidential election certification.

I’m definitely in the same boat as entertaining as watching this has been.

At the very least we are showing off how to disable our government for all the bad actors out there.

And these are their "political expert" posters.

I don't know if most of the right-leaning fans count the latest one among their favorites, which I'm sure they'd argue has a direct correlation with how the creators have changed since the original three
