Don't be surprised if some of them get fired over the game

If the nontroversy and harassment that China brought towards Haachama and Coco resulted in the proposed Chinese branch of Hololive being thrown in the dumpster instead of the two getting fired like Chinese nationalists desired as to protect the talent, there is literally zero chance that a minor collective of terminally online twitter loons will get Moona and other Hololive members the boot because they played a game they got permission to play in the first place.

oh yes they would if theres enough loud people

theres no group loud enough to get the likes of Korone fired for the crime of playing a game some people on Twitter dislike. Her agent just wouldnt do it. Their talent is more important to them than whatever controversy is caused in response to their talent playing such a game.

If China couldnt get Hololive to fire Coco and Haato, what makes you think some terminally online folks are going to succeed?

Coco quit and Hatto went insane, tho.

Haachama was insane way before West Taiwan even did anything though.

Which one? There's around eighty now.

At this point how is this any different from those turbo right wingers banning books from libraries? Not only do they not want to experience the thing, they refuse to let anybody else choose to experience it either.

I dont even like the HP property enough to buy the game but this whole thing has gotten out of control. A whole bunch of keyboard warriors need to take a step back and check themselves in the mirror.

They'll just lament that the video game community is even more transphobic than they knew.

And continue to ignore that this game has trans people on the dev staff and seems to be a big middle finger to the bigoted IP creator, which is not a new concept to media.

Didn't you know that it's all just tokenism

It might be for the better. I get the reasoning Sam Gibbs made that site to begin with and I'm going to assume his intentions were good, but I think it would end up being a tool used more for harassment and lynching.

I wonder how many people will be getting the game now just to spite these people or because it's on their radar now because of these people.

Tbh, it's on my radar now because of all the negativity and the topics people kept posting about it here, and I'm trans, but my view on things is completely different than my peers (e.g. I don't hate Chapelle). I mostly lurk on this site, though, because I feel people are too hostile and don't truly discuss things in an objective/unbiased way.

This just goes to prove that neither side is 100% right. Glad their little tantrum amounted to nothing

I didn't read this whole thread but this entire board has been littered with threads about this game so at a point I can't just ignore it. So I'm just going to say my say. At the end of the day...isn't it just a harry potter video game where you can actually make trans characters in it as well? And how much does JK Rowling actually make per sale of the game anyway? Does she actually get residuals from every copy sold or did the studio give her a flat sum for rights to use the IP? If it's the latter then her money has already been made and boycotting or shaming people for playing the game is only affecting the staff that worked on the game and streamers trying to stream the popular game at the time like they always do, unless we're now saying that they should get screwed too for daring to make a game off of an insanely popular IP.

Idk, acting like anyone who buys, plays, or streams this game is some kind of bigot that deserves to be shamed is psycho behavior. People have loved HP since they were kids and just because the creator has revealed herself to be a shithead doesn't mean people that grew up and still love the HP universe and want to continue enjoying it are lumped in with her. I'm not going to buy this game because I'm just not as much of a gamer anymore but I'm not about to go book burning my collection of the 7 hardbacks that I worked hard to collect as a kid and have managed to maintain well just because JK Rowling had a shithead heel turn. And I'm not going to go apeshit that some people are going to play a major release AAA game based off a major IP they've spent their whole life enjoying.

To me if you really want to ruffle JK's feathers, just have a bunch of streamers make trans characters using her IP and tag her on twitter showing it to her. Idk, anything but attacking people who worked hard on the game or grew up lifelong HP fans while she just sits back and stays rich regardless of what yall do.

If there's an actual streamer that's actually using the game in a "fuck trans people" way then yeah that's different and those people should be called out, but to target anyone whatsoever who streams it regardless of context is, as I've said before, psycho behavior.

Little early in the year for moron of the year 2023 but we've got a frontrunner.
