Now due to the games backlash, there is a new precedent set that it is now socially acceptable for games to have you lose your job, your friends, your family, your loved ones, get doxxed and friends and family harassed, and ruin your reputation if even play it. There's gonna be a lot more HL-esque backlashes and more people will have their entire lives ruined over playing games now.

How do you feel about the future now?

No.
If anything, the game becoming absurdly popular anyway is finally the public admission that twitter zealots are to be ignored.

Don't shoot the messenger here. Between Girlfriend Reviews being harassed, SilverVale being harassed and doxxed, the Limited Run Games firing people over wanting to play the game, various Twitch streamers scared to play the game, Act Man being attacked over defending the game, devs being attacked for making the game, it is clear that this has set a precedent on how future backlashes will receive.

There's your proof of everything. And it is getting worse from here.

Basically nobody, as far as I can tell. Most of these things are great big wet farts compared to actual harassment campaigns, like GamerGate.

Sorry if I don't have a lot of empathy for people who want to play their magical wizard game when it's inextricably tied to JK Rowling and anti-trans sentiment. At least they're not trying to be legislated out of existence.

If someone wants to harass you for playing HL just tell them to stop wasting everyone's time. If they persist then congratulate them on getting people to hate the message they claim to be supporting through their harassment.

Oh shut up. She is tangentially related to the game and if that's all it takes for Sir Holier-Than-Thou, I really hope you don't buy anything because guess what? You can trace anything back to horrible people.

No one in real life cares that I am playing, and yes that includes plenty of people in the LGBTQ+ community as I am in a pretty liberal social circle. It is just a few asocial CEmen here who have nothing better to do who care.

I gave up on discussion about it. Look deep enough and all corporations and organizations are tied through corruption and terrible backgrounds. That's still going to be my stance on it.

I have yet to lose friends over it but I just tire of it so I don't really bring it up anymore. Its not worth the headache.

Me: I don't want to support this thing because reasons.
You: Yeah, well hope you don't like other things because they're made by bad people.

That's your entire argument. Boring.

You don't see the stance of "the world and society as a whole is entirely fucked and nothing I can do will change that. Therefore I'm going to live my life for me and those important to me, and I dont care beyond that."

Just a reminder that the "boycott" is just trans people asking people not to buy the game associated with a high profile agent of their genocide. They're not asking people to stop eating apples or diamonds or whatever. The backlash against this is entirely to spite trans people.

People who shame others for playing a Harry Potter game or liking Harry Potter are seriously embarrassing.

Get over yourself. Im sure those same people who are shaming you are also Disney fans, a company built on racism and sexism.

It really isn't. People are using the trans right movement as an excuse to bully and harass people. It has never been about actual trans people.

right, but apple products and their batteries by child labor in china

that why that other user was saying, you look into any company youre gonna find dirty laundry and if youre gonna protest the game, you should protest the other products with a bad background
