The development team had trans people working on the game.

So what?

Those people already got paid anyway.

Oh snap, a Nazi comparison! Now you truly shown how bad these evil developers are as well as the members of the LGBT community who just want to play wizard game!

Fucking gaslighter.

And here we go with the comparisons to the Nazis

The dead Nazis still live rent free in people's minds.

Sorry I'm a bit short on ideologies that actively call for genocide who aren't equivalent to Nazis.

i heard society is colapsing cause of this game...

entire civilizations will crumble cause of Hogwarts Legacy.

Are you going to make the same comparison about Genshin Impact and the CCP are doing to the Uyghurs as well?

GranolaPanic posted...

The trans people that worked on the game arent calling for genocide against themselves.

Neither were the national association of German Jews.

But really I find it fucking ridiculous that people seriously use "but trans people worked on it" as if engineers/artists/whatever will see even one cent of royalties from the game. You not buying the game doesn't hurt trans people, not even the tiny amount that worked on it.

I had no idea Genshin Impact was made by the CCP. That's news to me. I always thought it was a bunch of nerdy Chinese weaboos with zero government affiliation.

Do you get paid for being wrong or is it just a hobby?

Buying this game says nothing about anyone and you're doing what they want by getting upset.

The defeat of evil does not hinge on this stupid fucking video game. I beg for everything I hate to be destroyed every day. Doesn't make me a bad person or a traitor for yet participating in society.

I guess I just hate the world more than a lot of my peers and have realized that we aren't going to win in this world by playing by the rules of a rigged game that causes this evil in the first place world. Entertainment is the only thing that brings me joy on this diseased planet. I'm not going to give it all up and sit depressed in a dark corner so I don't get called a hypocrite or a traitor on the Internet

I hope a trans person snuck in an easter egg heavily insulting rowling

Any money going to China is funding the CCP. I also know spending money in America funds Republican politicians, but I'm not going to boycott spending money just because it is all covered in blood.

The director of the devs is literally a CCP committee secretary with the VP being a member of a party committee under the CCP's eyes. Now I assume you're now going to make massive claims about the players of that game, which would be quite the bold move considering how it's one of the most popular game boards on the site.

Isn't the ability to make a trans person your playable character technically speaking that in itself.

It's not uncommon for any company/corporation in China to join the CCP when they're a certain size. Anyways I know it's a bad comparison, but it's on purpose because you also know in both cases it's guilty by association. JK Rowling had almost no play in the making of the game except for being the holder of the IP, so yes she gets royalty from the game in the same way every person buying a Universal Studios ticket to see the new Super Mario World land because there is Hogwarts.

Pick and choose your battles, but please stop invoking Godwin's Law into things.

These are inaccurate, dumbed down assessments of what actually happened. They are part of their own local political party that is allied with the CCP. This was a requirement needed for them to continue to operate autonomously. They are not CCP officials and not politicians at all. The closest analogue America has is a PAC.

This post shouldve been deleted since TCs intentions (for the second time now) dont seem genuine in discussing the matter, but just to shit on anybody who disagrees.

And of course most mods will agree with them

Fucks sake it's a video game, buy it or don't. I can absolutely guarantee almost everyone here has partaken in a product or invention that was created by someone who was just an absolutely fucking horrible person at some point in time, probably people that were far worse than JK Rowling.

I get that it's an issue at the forefront of things right now, but seriously. I personally am not buying it because I hate Harry Potter.

lol

So in other words they are still allied with the genocidal government, just on a local level and not on a national level. Your double standards are truly pathetic, direct government involvement can be swept under the rug but trans people working on a video game where the IP was made by a weirdo with a bag of very questionable beliefs get compared to Nazi sympathizers. Fucking pathetic, potentially even more so than the shit bait OP's tossing into the pond, because you actually believe this while OP's just fishing for replies.

Right. I believe this is called flaming and its in the rules guidelines as stuff that can get you modded.

Why isnt it modded, though? Considering its not even the first time theyve done this.

Its a 2019 account with 400 karma and 6 posts, so its clearly trolling.

I have nothing to contribute. I just wanted another post in a 500 topic.

I don't mean I'm being dishonest and chasing clout, just that I'm tired of never being good enough for anyone. Too extreme, too weak, too dramatic, too apathetic.

I am so tired of opinions. The genocide is here. Trans people may be eradicated within two years. And we're worrying that pennies of games sales are going to hurt a boycott against an individual. Are the royalties from HL gonna bankrupt Rowling and every transphobe and shame them into hiding before November 2024?

Nah. There's no double standards here at all. Not that I'd expect anyone here to actually give thought to it. Simply put, neither Mihoyo or Wei are using their outreach of millions of people to push a genocidal agenda. Nor are they doubling and tripling down on it. Nor are they going through Weibo and liking things that say "Uyghurs should stop existing"

CCP members themselves are just regular people, many of whom disagree with official hardline stances but are literally legally unable to voice this dissent. If your business employs 100 or more CCP members you have to register your business as a local party that is allied to the CCP.

Absolutely nothing changes within the company when this happens but it's great fuel for fearmongers.

your opinion essentially boils down to they have to support the CCP so we might as well support them

I'm not saying you have to support them at all, just that because they filed a standard business practice in China doesn't mean they support oppression of Uyghur.

J.K. Rowling has no legal compulsions whatsoever and has still chosen to support oppression.

That's the difference.

I have nothing against the studio that made the game. They, like many others involved in the history of HP are just doing the best they can with a shit hand they got dealt.

exactly though.

supporting the game which gives royalties to Rowling Is no different then supporting GI which gives money to the CCP.

so either both are bad or neither are.

Maybe stop trying to seek others' favor.

And that includes stop defending your purchase of HogLog.

Take the fight where you think it belongs instead of whiling away the hours here.

So people who buy the game are funding genocide, but the people who make the game are "just doing their jobs"? Would you just do your job if knew literally any success it has will fund suffering? Why would you promote it or ever appear to enjoy making it?

I have not yet purchased said game. And what kind of joke world are we living in where anyone would have to defend buying a video game? It's also kind of messed up for a LGBTQ ally to tell someone to not care what people think when what people think is currently destroying the world.

I don't need anyone's approval. I'm right and anyone with a strong opinion on the purchase of that game is wrong. It doesn't matter. Stop letting them win. They want you to get involved in a bullshit culture war. It distracts from the genocide. But at least you won't have a wizard video game purchase on your conscience when every LGBTQ person around you is dead.

As I said way back on post #165 this isn't really about the video game. This is about keeping her shitty views front and center.

I can say "Don't buy her shitty detective novel" and get zero pushback because it's a shitty detective novel. Fucking nobody will say "BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THE EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS AND PEOPLE WHO DID THE COVER ART AND TRANSLATIONS" everyone will agree not to buy her shitty detective novel.

But God fucking forbid you say shit about Harry Potter. People are only willing to care about the suffering of transgender people as long as they aren't personally inconvenienced.

That's the problem.

99% of the purchases you make are funding suffering. I guess you don't care about anyone if it inconveniences you.

You should still have an issue with the developers if you want to be consistent. Clearly they are okay with the suffering of trans people if they wouldn't quit.
