is this where someone comes in and talks about horseshoe theory about left and right politiics and then omfg shut the fuck up it was a great movie

[benjipwns]

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.

What often irritates me is the amount of people that purposefully conflate some mass call to boycott, with people not buying a game out of their own principles and spreading awareness of its issues.

Boycott_Modern_Warfare_2_Steam_Meme.jpeg

That screenshot was debunked years ago

For anyone else as well, Steam prioritized showing players who were in-game over players who weren't, and there were enough players in that group at the time playing MW2 to fill up that first page. What you don't see in that image are the pages and pages of players not playing it.

Only a minority of people in that group played MW2, but Steam pushed them all to the front page and inflated the perception. It persists all these years later because nobody ever digs deeper for context.

Edit: The Left 4 Dead 2 boycott was erroneously perceived the same way, though over time that boycott really did fizzle out.

"um ackchewally only 1 page of people were playing the game, there were lots more that weren't"

bitch the point is to make fun of hypocrites regardless of how many people were "successfully" boycotting or not

Adding my voice to the pile. If there’s an OT celebrating and allowing discussion of the game Im gone. That other thread was absolutely disgusting. People frothing at the mouth to talk about how “great” the game will be and gloat about how much it’s going to sell. I consider every purchase of the game a direct admission of bigotry and transphobia so gaming side pretty much just told me I’m not a woman and I don’t belong here. I don’t really post here that often but seeing all the joy in the trans lounge thread does give me hope for the future and I can’t help but smile whenever I see a poster with a trans avatar. Unfortunately I cannot remain active on a site which actively promotes the work of the face of a group of bigots that want to delete people like me from society.

I use this site all the time and it's basically the only place I can go for decent video game discussion, but I'll leave without a second thought if the terf wizard game gets an OT that isn't just a single post listing all the horrible shit JKR has done and continues to do.

I consider every purchase of the game a direct admission of bigotry and transphobia so gaming side pretty much just told me I’m not a woman and I don’t belong here.

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

I'll just say it: after how badly this site handled the cyberpunk fiasco and courted transphobes the only acceptable response is to not allow an OT for a game that would support a very obvious transphobe that has a clear and direct impact on the lives of trans people.

The fact that this is still even being debated or "talks are still happening" is frankly a joke when they have years to prepare. Make a fucking statement.

Riiiight, spreading awareness.

These motherfuckers don't just want a boycott of the game, they don't want it even spoken of on ERA. And this asshole is acting like they're just making a simple personal decision?

Okay, and how many of those players never played Modern Warfare 2 (or any other future Call of Duty's)? Since we're debunking narratives with "context" and all.

Thing is, they can't really hurt TERF Bitch Joanne in a way that matters. Their usual M.O. of getting you fired, ostracized from wider society, and deplatformed, doesn't work against someone that has "fuck you" money, is their own boss, and sticks to a platform--Twitter--that has no interest in banning her, with that being even less likely now that Musk controls it.

So they project all their hatred of TERF Bitch Joanne on the only other outlet they have--Hogwarts Legacy. This is why they go into hyperbole with things like saying buying HL promotes literal trans genocide, and having an OT for HL is on the same level of having a KKK rally.

[ShutUp]

Game gets banned from being discussed on the site. Kyuuji let’s everyone know in the TERFling OT that she got “gifted” a copy and proceeds to talk away about the game being fun while everyone else on the site can’t talk about it without being banned.

It is written in the stars to happen this way

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.

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

first movie is based and redpilled

The first one is still pretty left leaning. Without going full resetera and saying TRANSART, there is a lot of queer coded stuff in that first film. You could argue that is because the counterculture then vs the counterculture now, but the right wing nuts go for the most explicit “anti government” message of the first film.

(Incidentally, Grant Morrison has been mostly consistent in his/them counterculture roots, is not surprising that he/they identifies as non binary (and probably one of the few you can make a case of being legit) so I suspect nobody will confuse The Invisibles as right wing)

[benjipwns]

What's "left-leaning" about The Matrix? It's about a chosen individual who's even more chosen than the previous chosen ones who pursues only his own interests to defy a collective that so can't adjust it fucks up its own central plan and has to ally with the individual who gets nothing but personal benefits from everything while the collective is forced into allowing greater free choice. The Wachowski's presumably picked it up after Ayn Rand rejected it for being a bit too on the nose.

What sort of genocidal shit are you talking about...individual choice vs collectivism...this is not what politics are about...they're about what pronouns the creators use and whether they pack a female or a male penis you Nazi!!!

[benjipwns]

I can see an argument that the key part of the trilogy where Neo risks literally everyone so he can potentially bone Trinity in a hypothetical future could be interpreted as left-wing in some ways.

So by this logic surely they should allow an OT for the game? It’s fine if you don’t want to buy the game out of your own principles because you hate Joanne, but those that want to buy the game should be able to discuss it freely without you going in there shitting it up ban baiting people via your bloodhounds (VGM etc) asking why are you ignoring my baiting questions.

It's actually disgusting. Even when a woman shows a rape kit as evidence she gets hate... Then you wonder why women don't come forward.

I think the women siding with him are doing it for potential exposure he can give them. He often does video chats with women on his stream so it can help them grow their Instagrams and him knowing some people in the Hip Hop scene like 21 Savage is something probably even guys want access to.

“Women don’t come forward because society think they are lying bitches. But fuck those lying bitches defending him and harassing her, doing for attention.”

Glad the victim seems to be acting smart about it and only going the social network route because the streamer didn’t want to give the name of the rapist.

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!”

and then you will have a good reason to flag them all for either not reading the op or not caring about LGBT people and women.
Give everyone at least good time out so they can learn

While I would love to see a bunch of people get mass banned for being obtuse about Rowling, I doubt the mods would handle it that way. Certainly wasn’t their approach with Cyperpunk or the old Kanye West threads.

Then people who care about it get banned/threadbanned for going in and trying to educate people.

The people who are ignoring everything and only posting in the thread aren't banned because technically unless they were in the thread praising Rowling, and just posting about the game, they're not doing anything wrong by ignoring the OP/Thread message.

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

Pottermore, the global digital publisher for J K Rowling’s Wizarding World, saw profits drop by 40% last year coming off a lockdown sales bounce.

The company’s "exceptional" 2021 results saw pre-tax profits soar 150% to £9.5m from £3.8m in 2020, while revenues saw an uplift of 24% from £32.5m in 2020 to £40.4m.

But after doing that comic, he was dragged to the altar of supplication…

I was trying to write an opinion piece to go along with this strip, but honestly, after a full two days of researching this Hogwarts Legacy controversy/boycott from all of the different angles I could find, reading articles and reddit subs and comment sections… I am simply worn out. I thought my argument would end up being a case of ‘separate the artist from the art,’ but I wasn’t aware the extent of the damage JK Rowling’s comments cause.

And more importantly, I think, I’ve ultimately come to the conclusion that I can’t offer anything of value to this particular discourse one way or another. Like it or not, Hogwarts Legacy, and the act of buying it (or not buying it), is going to be viewed by someone as a stand for something. You will be judged based on your decision to buy it or not buy it.

Not a conclusion I expected to reach about a video game featuring a dorky wizard school, but here we are.

I'd really like to know what real life damage she has done. All I've seen from Kyuuji basically boils down to "because she has opinions people with similar opinions feel confident to share their opinions" and that's just bullshit logic to me as it boils down to saying that Rowling should not be allowed to talk about her perception of women's rights.

Give Limited Run some time to respond. If they keep her and nothing changes, then we can get upset and start boycotting them, but we don't know how aware of this they are. There's a decent chance that they are just learning about this from the tweet. Do definitely @ them and let them know that you don't like this, though, the more people saying that this makes them uncomfortable, the more likely that action will be taken.

The tweet is extremely bad, and enough to be concerned.

But I don't think we should use peoples followings against them.
I follow steven crowder and ben shapiro but am extremely left and don't believe a single word that comes out of there mouths.

Unless the person in question is a prominent political figure, there's no reason to follow them. There is absolutely no excuse for following the likes of Libs of TikTok.

Well well well, if it isn't a duck milkshake

Ummm...I'm pretty sure they canceled/tried to cancel people for following Trump when he was on Twitter. So the "prominent political figure" excuse is new.

But hang on, I thought everyone who was still left on Twitter was a heretic anyway?

They always make this up on the fly. On wednesday it's okay to follow a controversial politician and on sunday you're a fascist

Not sure what thread this fits but Tate getting clowned on by young girls is pretty funny

Cancel culture doesn't exist

A tweet from 2016 and her following a bunch of people doesn’t warrant a cancellation.

Although she does follow Ben Shapiro and Steven Crowder, so maybe she does deserve the boot…

I'm not trying to cancel her. I'm questioning why the fuck a community manager of the bigger Limited Print company likely wants me against the wall.

Why can't they at least be honest? Embrace the cancel culture, you love it! It's your favorite past time RE

I like how all my interaction with the trans community is either absolute lunatics on Resetera or Twitter. You couldn't possibly have given your group/cause a worse look.

Now THIS is something. I feel like any time someone brings up the trainwreck that is Jessica Yaniv, it is a pretty extreme dogwhistle. They are literally the only boogieman figure they can find in the trans-community and transphobes will continually point at them going, "SEE! THIS IS WHY WE NEED BATHROOM LAWS! SEEEEEEEE?!?"

Pretty clever to declare using an example of a bad trans person as a dogwhistle. I mean you could instead argue that one person isn't enough to make generalizations about a large group of people but declaring that no bad apples exist is of course way smarter.

Can they even fire someone for being transphobic outside of work? As in, what would be the mechanism for termination? Although I guess it's a US company, and employment is at will, so you can fire someone for anything not protected, right?

They’re based in NC. You don’t need a reason. I’ve let many a mother fucker go for “no reason.” It’s beautiful

So they like at-will work laws now? Before, it was union-busting, anti-worker, right-wing laws that gave undo power to the owner-class. Now that they see they can use it themselves, it's all cool now? Do these hypocrites have any principles
