it was probably more along the lines of Radcliffe & Emma Watson being vocally supportive of trans fans and not wanting to pal around with them now perceived as enemies. Same way she blocked Stephen King after he complimented her just because fans then asked him if he supports trans rights, he clarified that he still disagrees with her views on trans people even if he can be cordial out of that context - which was enough for Rowling to block him.

it was really hilarious at the time because after the first part where King complimented Rowling, Rowling praised him back about how her love for him reached new heights... but then after he said he still supports trans rights she deleted that tweet too.

Admittedly, it's according to Rowling, and she may very well be... misrepresenting actuality.

I mean she would LOVE to be the victim of her own franchise cancelling her from the reunion

which was a whole lot of the commentary about it at the time

Johnbobb posted...

she wasn't even invited to the big reunion thing they did a year ago or so

FYI this was a rumour passed around but not actual reality

https://booksofbrilliance.com/2022/08/29/j-k-rowling-clarifies-why-she-wasnt-at-the-harry-potter-reunion/

There have been rumors that Rowling was not invited. According to Rowling, she was invited to attend the reunion.

No one said dont come, said Rowling. I was asked to do it and I decided not to.

That doesnt mean that Rowling isnt friends with some of the cast members. When asked if she is keeps in touch with the actors of the franchise, she replied Yes, I do. I mean, some more than others but that was always the case. You know, some I knew better than others.

Aces was at least S-class base gameplay for Mario Tennis

just very lacking outside

So if CjayC was brought up on charges for something despicable would people quit gamefaqs and the b8 community?

I get the emotions about JK Rowling, I dont know how to express my feelings and thoughts about the subject but her TERF stuff is bad. I have thoughts on consumer ethics, corporate ethics, creator ethics, etc but feel like its better to read what marginalized people are saying right now. Not sure what else to say about this stuff sorry. Ive been given more to think about than I expected.

In either case, at least the considerations like this are always appreciated and it's why the conversations are important

I did, I read you literally word for word detail the exact same feeling people have about as an unshakeable repulsion to an element of a piece of media - in this case, the queen figurehead of dehumanizing trans people. That does indeed tend to give that exact same unshakeable feeling of disgust that can't be overlooked for many since y'know, those are human lives under an immense deal of hatred and focus in the current political climate.

I absolutely grant you that there's a great many people who absolutely do not care and thus do not share that feeling of repulsion but I mean you absolutely did perfectly encapsulate the feeling others get from JK Rowling's prized hog.

no price yet on the Canadian site that I can see

other games so far are $79.99 here for reference

so boycotts are only good for things you care about

okay

what in the world

just now realized UE is supposed to be referring to LtM

Metriod Prime 4 AVAILABLE TODAY

What do you mean? The devs are paid already. JKR is the only one who gets royalty checks.

not to mention the devs for one of the most hyped up games of the year probably won't be needing the "help"

it's strange to argue "JK's a billionaire anyways my money won't mean anything" but also argue this mass-appeal AAA title that's set to sell gangbusters really needs the my support

Leafeon13N posted...

Rowling leverages the HP property for royalties like crazy. Keep seeing people say the money doesn't matter to her but I dont buy it. If there is one thing rich assholes like it is money.

The simple fact is that people who despise our existence care about hating us a lot more than our supposed allies care about supporting us, which obviously makes our lives a living hell as governments, encouraged by these vocal bigots without fear of any substantial opposition, try to legislate us out of existence and yeah we're fucking starved for some actual support for once as our supposed allies just whine in the sidelines.

My honest stance is I don't care if you wanna buy the Hogwarts game - under the condition that you're someone who actually does outwardly support trans rights, otherwise yeah I'm gonna be wary because I've been burnt too much by silence hiding someone's bigotry, or in the case of public figures, trying not to put off bigoted fans who support them which just allows their hatred to be normalized. The reality is that an incredibly few amount of people are actually substantively supportive of trans lives, they'll be fine with vague supportive statements but only ever actually pop up when showing support for trans lives gets in the way of their entertainment - be it a legacy celeb they've personally bonded to, or indeed their dream wizard sim game. We all make choices weighing our morals with how much we want something, but I really couldn't give half of a shit about cis folks being mad people are criticizing their choice to dismiss the influence derived from this franchise that has propped Rowling up into absolute royalty in the British press to campaign against our lives uncontested. Influence that pushes across the globe cited by legislators abroad and that Rowling herself has flaunted to counter any criticism.

If you're someone that's actually outspoken in favour of trans rights and against transphobes then truthfully your desire to play wizards isn't going to change my perception about you. Maybe if you do the dumb thing of trying to "justify" yourself with nonsense excuses when the simple truth is your wants just exceeded your morals - again, something we all do. But trying to justify that action as anything else is frankly putting blinders on to feel better about yourself. Go ahead and consume but don't expect a pat on the back about doing the thing you just wanted to do. Part of the fact that we all make these choices means we shouldn't have to pretend it's something else.

If you're not someone that stands up for trans rights then yeah obviously I'm not gonna think of you as an ally? Like that doesn't even have anything to do with Hogwarts, if you're not supportive of us then what do you even care that you aren't viewed as if you were? This is where my confusion rings with plum who routinely comes in to rattle on his "nuanced" views that always kicks in for obsessed whining against trans activism. Like my guy there was no universe where anyone was expecting you of all people to be turned off from something you like due to transphobia so why are you so outraged? Just play your game and literally nothing's gonna change.

my last name's honestly awkward to say in english (not that I've ever spoken a word of Italian) and this has just never really been a thing for me

Advance Wars has potential for any of these Directs I guess because who knows when it is coming

I wonder whenever it does get re-announced it's just like "available today!"

I want to say Pokemon DLC hype but also Pokemon Day's just the end of the month so it could pass here or maybe a little tease towards it

courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality

It's amazing to me that I've been here so long that one of my first accounts was made before a word in it was even flagged as a slur.

to be fair it was misspelled

plum is really upset about this huh

for anyone that was wondering why plum's HP topic last week was getting routinely dismissed I mean here you go lmao

I despise raid pokemon with Yawn/Spore

at least the AI don't count to your deaths

Although if you don't know, you can reset your AI partners by challenging as a group. Challenging solo keeps them the same.

add a multiple choice for cyoa during ad breaks and then we're talkin

you'd think this many months in people would learn but

man if only someone could go back in time to tell MLK that racism could be cured if he just shut up about it

oh wow, you got me there. It's been over two years into his presidency and many years prior to that in public service, but I'm still not supposed to have an opinion of the guy? LoL, like up to this point I was supposed to have a blank slate of opinion on him so I could objectively opine on his handling of this situation.

You sound dumb.

its moreso that the opinion you posted was monumentally dumb and then when pressed you reasoned it with "well I don't like biden he's old"

what's the deal with AI
