Are you boycotting star wars too? Cause George Lucas used to have a rule that gay people didn't exist in Star Wars

I always thought most jedi were gay. I mean they can't have sex with a woman or they turn to the dark side

Damn. Life's that bad huh?

And I was talking the 1st and 5th poll options. I don't find it awesome that people like you are losing their shit over this game.

I get to enjoy a good game on my uber gaming PC and the salty tears of the people melting down over a fucking video game is just an added bonus to the experience.

I told my grandma that the creator of the game hates transgender people and buying the game would be supporting anti-transgender people.

So, I got the game for free.

One day you'll find some meaning in life. I'll play the game and shake my head at you alongside those people. Imagine having a reaction at all to whatever the fuck this controversy is.

I'm... not really sure what this means. Are you trans, your grandma knows you're trans, and then they bought the game as a way of being anti-trans?

Maybe i'm just sleepy

I didn't vote because none of those really fit me.

I personally won't buy the game new, at the very least, because it will in some small way contribute to Rowling's coffers. I don't really judge people who do, but I do roll my eyes at the gymnastics people do to justify it.
Same. I'm refusing to buy it and have a handful of formerly very Potter-y friends doing the same. I have somr friends playing the game, too. I've told them my stance, but I'm not gonna draw a line in the sand for it.

I am not trans so JK doesn't that impact me. However her BS is not helping a at risk community. So I can't support the came. Note I wasn't anyway since I am not a HP fan. but I support the boycott . Not harassment however.

I have spoken with my friends who are members of the LBGTQ+ community as well as a youth I have supported for years through their transition.

All of then said they thing the discourse about it is really overblown and they are all going to play it.

I chose that option, namely because I had no desire to play (nor knowledge of) the game before the controversy, which was spreading shortly before the game came out and reviews dropped. Hearing about it all the time => journalists covering it => attaching gameplay footage to the coverage => my first exposure to actual gameplay, thinking it looks pretty good.

JK Rowling controversies dont really even exist over here. I think its a purely Anglo-Saxon thing.

Not a single videogames site or review here even mentioned it.

I'm completely with Dominic Noble on this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7ogV9sBFM0

tl:dr: I'll abstain from supporting Rowling's endeavors in the future, but I do understand how her work can be important to people, and don't feel any less of those that do want to keep up with the wizarding world.

I suppose it helps that I'm somehow both a canon whore and a person who will reject new canon if it clashes with the old (e.g. Advent Children and the FFX audio-drama do not exist).

This is a stance i respect.

My own, personal, stance, is more along the lines of

"Im not letting Twitter affect my life negatively"

Almost did that a few years ago, not again.

Im busy with other games currently, but my current plan is to buy it on switch come June.

Shitty game from a shitty overrated franchise by a shitty human being

Don't care if others enjoy it though
Pretty much. I dont think people's choice to buy it really says much about them (unless they're one of the weirdos that buy shit just to spite people, then I say a fool and their money etc)

What was funny was people saying generic open world game was going to be GOTY when Tears of the Kingdom is coming out this same year. It's just not gonna happen

I dont know exactly if the author is in the wrong, or if everything is being overblown.

Out of respect I was going to try the middle ground, and buy the game after a sale, like for half price.

However I was still really interested in the game and it was just gaining more traction every day. Hype though the roof, videos and previews all looking stellar. So I kept browsing the forums up to release day(not early access).

But the activists, trolls, do gooders, woke community or whoever decided to post spoilers online with any warnings. I walked/clicked into one such topic. I was not happy. So I decided to pay full price for the game and enjoy it now.

I don't give a shit about Harry Potter so I was never getting the game. I totally understand why people have a problem with supporting JK Rowling and don't want to purchase it. And I have no problem with people being vocal about it and trying to put pressure on JK/WB/etc about it.

But I do not think anyone who does buy the game is inherently transphobic and I'm not going to judge them as such. That said, if you want to play the game. Just play the game. You literally don't need more of a reason than "I like Harry Potter" or "the game looks fun". You don't need to explain to me that Harry Potter was an important franchise to you when you were growing up or that the money JK is getting is miniscule or anything. At that point it just makes it look like you know you are doing wrong and trying to justify it.
