Basically I expect this game to be somewhere between the marvel and fable games in terms of disappointment, the combat looks so wooden in trailers

From the footage shown the open world seems more like an Ubisoft title. You'll fly around, stop at markers, collect your loot, and move on.

How many of the 116 yes votes have commented on the fact that we already have had nearly as many anti trans bills this year as in the whole of last year? Oh, right.

As much as thats a sad thing, and it really is, I dont see how that can be blamed on the potential success of a game which hasnt even released.

You go straight to insults while having nothing constructive to say. Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps you also alienate potential supporters by just generally exhibiting toxic behaviours?

A lot of the people saying no probably knowingly buy products from racist people but because it doesn't personally affect them, they carry a different energy into that discussion.

This whole controversy is misguided IMO

Im not talking about victim blaming. Nothing wrong with some personal accountability.

Peoples perception of you is caused in no small part by the way you conduct yourself, and from what Ive seen of you on this board, you give off the impression that you believe everybody but you is transphobic.

Nothing I said was even remotely offensive. I have absolutely no problem with trans people and yet you speak to me like Im some kind of lower life form.

Yes, trans people have a lot of struggles to overcome, and yes, they should be supported in doing that. And sure, some people are bigoted enough that they will dislike you simply because you are trans, but Id wager most people that dislike you personally do so because youre a horrible person, if your posts on here are anything to go by.

The toxic pro-trans people will never see the irony of closing the gates to possible supporters while also wanting other people to open their gates to them.

If these people don't want support from people who dare play a harry potter game, then they shouldn't cry when they don't have enough support.

Yeah. Anyone saying no is just being hypocritical due to their personal feelings on the topic. If you want to take the stance that people should boycott it for social good, great opinion. Your feelings on it are completely valid, and that is a perfectly healthy stance to hold. If you think people need to boycott it or else they're supporting evil, then you need to take that same stance for nearly any other product or service you utilize, necessity or not. There is absolutely no argument you can make that gives this one product weight over anything else. It's just extraordinarily topical, and people have strong feelings on it. There is nothing else at all special about it.

then why do so many people feel the need to repeatedly post about how they're not doing anything wrong by supporting a video game based on a children's book

Because people are shaming them for doing just that? Like if someone's doing the whole, "buying Harry Potter to own da libs!!!!!" kind of shit, feel free to call them a shitty, toxic person. Otherwise, it's just people becoming defensive because they're being directly or indirectly called a bad person for indulging in their hobby.

Agreed. Intent is what matters here.

they were 100% doing it before anyone made fun of them for it, and making fun of them has not, as far as I can tell, increased the number of people who are doing it.

this is essentially identical to the "one person on the left was mean to me one time so I'm going to vote for Trump" nonsense rhetoric that was floating around during the 2016 election

Yes, which is wildly incorrect and a very simplified statement from the "humanity is awful" camp.

Ever gone to a farmer's market? A concert? Any variety of charity event?

Theres plenty of routes here, so no, you dont get to feel better about eating McDonalds because you "just didnt have a choice".

Yeah no. This is that "humanity is awful" moaning again. I'm not going to see the fucking Offspring, and you can fuck right off if you're going to project sexual deviancy on the artists I listen to. I'm not assuming people are rapost and pedophiles, because that's an awful thing.

Sex is unethical because people are sexually assaulted sometimes, I guess, right?

Our oldest coffee shop does charity sings every 2nd Friday of the month, and 100% of proceeds from donations and purchases go to a community member struggling financially from medical issues.

It's just a bogus statement by lazy negative people that desire to think less of others.
