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.

They mostly remind me of the Sonic fans. You want to say that the bad apples are ruining it for the good ones but

Was the trigger for this seriously that she posted that she was personally looking forward to the Hogwarts game, and that therefore made her a viable target?

[NekoFever]

I’ve got no interest in Hogwarts but I can’t wait for it to come out because this nonsense is already getting spicy

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Not sure if Tim (Heidecker) would agree to that since there may be some bad blood with RLM, then again Gregg isn't usually on Tim's good side anyway so why not

what happened between them?

Maybe nothing, but there was a bit during one of the RLM shows where Jay calls out Tim for being on Half In The Bag once and then making his own film review show for Adult Swim after that

That’s called a joke lol

[Nintex]

Damn. Wish this could be shown on their Discord server. Especially since she is really well liked over there.

we all have dreams

this is a pretty garbage bin take right here
1) standing up for trans folks - who are currently seeing an increase in attacks and tons of legislation trying to eradicate them - doesn't mean coddling the hearts & minds of transphobes, it means attaching consequences to open bigotry. i don't care what this bigot thinks when losing their job, i want other bigots to not continue fostering their open bigotry

2) nah, if you support things that fund jk, you weigh your entertainment over the lives of trans people, simple as. those dollars go directly back into hate, this is pretty well documented

3) if you follow bigoted accounts, it's pretty easy to construe where your values lie. if i was a public figure on about antiracism and followed a number of known nazi accounts, that wouldn't tell you anything? especially if my job was directing communications? come on

4) if sensitivity training did anything, police departments wouldn't throw so much at it to insulate themselves

5) no one's seeing your "words and deeds" online. i'm not trying to break bread with bigots to see where their heart lies - this is 2023, the cards have been on the table for some time now

gotta do better here

Happy to read J.K. Rowling's HP profits dropped 40% last year. Maybe she'll shut her fucking mouth if her pocketbook is hit hard enough despite being an actual billionaire

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

Where did you read that? Lately I felt a ton of HP merch was put on sale or into my local outlet but I expected this to be anecdotal evidence at best.

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.

Down 40% from a 150% jump.

The experts at Reeeeesetera have assured me that Joanne and Pottermore are doomed, just like that old company Nintendo that went out of business 25 years ago.

Not sure if this is what you were referring to, but I remember PlayAsia also had a couple of mask-off tweets where they used "SJW" unironically a few years back. Some were deleted, but this one is still up:
https://twitter.com/mombot/status/983649612341723136

And then idiots paid $80+ dollars for which is honestly the absolute worse Dead or Alive game in the series. Even the Xtreme series. the first two were actually pretty decent little sims/minigame collections.

Imagine admitting on Ree you enjoyed a series that objectifies women  Also they're still bent over PA statement lol

While I have no stake in this attempted cancellation, I question any "community manager" who mixes their personal and private social media profiles in any way.

It's 2023 FFS, online lynch mobs have been going after people's livelihoods for a while now. Use separate accounts, especially on Twitter where it's really easy to have multiple accounts.

As an adult, you should be very aware of what supporting J.K. Rowling means.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/hey-uh-why-does-limited-run-games-have-a-transphobe-as-their-community-manager.672658/page-3#post-99281992

You should at least be informed that buying the game will have your money go into massive transphobe JK Rowling's pockets, so it's your choice if you're OK with that or not. Also, the senior producer of the game resigned after it was revealed he made anti-feminist and pro-gamergate material. Then the plot of the game appears to have antisemitic elements.

"No offense, but thinking one of the greatest and most iconic singers of all-time belongs in a top 10 makes you sound like a chud"

lol okay. I have to ask, is this a parody account?

Do you know how many pasty-ass chuds I’ve heard go on about Freddy Mercury being the ‘best of all time’? It’s such an eyerolling narrative. But seeing who is on THIS top 10, Mercury is a bum in comparison. (He’s not a bad singer, but I get so sick of, as I said, white people’s aggressive push for somewhat okay or mediocre white musicians as being “amazing” is unbelievably frustrating. )

And don’t get me started whenever a POC musician is praised come up (all of the current top 10) that people need to desperately triumph with their white artists like some sort of cudgel.

I remember reading a thread on here a long time ago about Kanye West(before he went completely off the rails) and someone NEEDED to bring up at how Paul McCartney was a superior musician (there was no reason to being it up!). It’s so fucking tiring.

ideally also it would be the most progressive game ever made like cyberpunk was

let you play as a trans wizard and all the other kids are nothing but supportive

and a non-binary student in your class who announces they prefer they/them and everyone in the game honors that choice

y'know, in terms of having a logical/reasonable debate, one of the questions you always ask is what evidence it would take for you to change your mind about something, and if you can't come up with a reasonable answer your belief may be unfalsifiable and your position may be generally compromised/dismissible

I feel like this applies to whatever era is doing here

what exactly would it take for this game to become acceptable on era? can you envision a sudden turnaround where the majority of the people on the board suddenly agree that it's ok to play, and not steeped in unforgivable sin?

I have my problems with Heidecker, but pretty sure that him (and maybe Patton Oswald) is the main reason why they got in contact with Justin Roiland and got a cameo in his game. Not mention that Mike has admitted being a fan of Rick and Morty.

Or maybe just the general connections with Newgrounds alumni they seem to have since a while ago.

He briefly pauses the Harry Potter ebook to respond to his DM's on ResetEra to answer where he bought such a classy table.

Their shipping is crazy expensive and I recommend insurance in case it gets damaged. I could help you find some cheaper options if you'd like."

Are the game grumps still selling merch of themselves reimagined as anime girls? That's one of the weirdest things to get my head around

https://gamegrumps.fandom.com/wiki/Game_Gyaru

Even before the official announcement of the Game Gyaru lineup, the character designs for Arina and Daniella drew much attention on Twitter and spawned a large amount of fanart, with much of the fanart retweeted by the Game Grumps account themselves, along with David Liu.

Once the store proper launched, the entire Game Gyaru collection sold out within days.

However, many were more critical of the concept in light of the Grumps' past behavior and tendency towards lewd jokes, and the idea of Dan, a man almost in his forties, choosing to portray himself as a sexy anime girl in merchandise. Some critics also brought up artist David Liu's association with The Odd Gentlemen, and the company's controversies surrounding a Kickstarter campaign for a Homestuck adventure game.
