Lurker > creativerealms

She is NOT okay with FtM transgenders. She has supported Abigail Shrier in the past. That is the woman who wrote the anti-trans book Irreversible Damage. A book all about how teenage girls are being tricked into becoming trans men. It was her support of Shrier as well as another event about a woman "fired from her job for misgendering someone" that started Rowling's path of darkness.

Good for her. A person can have vile opinions and still do good things.

Let's say I had a chance to buy one of his paintings? Would I? Probably not.

No but I have Monster on my watch list on Netflix and plan on starting it soon.

They are when their entire purpose was to be a part of a franchise that got scrapped

A franchise that was a complete mess. Look at my sig, I don't want any completed movie pulled even if they end up being complete crap.

I am fine with the DC movie universe being reset and I am fine with these completed and nearly completed films being released.

James Gunn would never say something like "hey these movies aren't connected to this huge fucking franchise I'm making, effectively making them pointless but go watch them anyways cuz money" but thats pretty much what Shazam through Blue Beetle are.

Stand alone movies are not pointless.

Superman: legacy sounds promising.

I wonder if the people who hate Seth Rogan so passionately are the same people who hate weed like that too.

Something tells me the people who hate Seth Rogan like another weed smoking man with that last name.

I don't get the Seth Rogan hate.

That's good to hear. I really have to catch back up on his books, I still haven't read the Stormlight Archive and really should. Also need to continue the second series of Mistborn as I only read Alloy of Law. I just lost track.

i thought GRRM got a AAA title

Yes he did Elden Ring.

I am a bit worried to know about Sanderson's opinion on the LGBTQ+ community is. I know he's a Mormon so I am not expecting the best.

When you cast Rogan its because you want his normal voice.

I mean at least the costumes and stuff look solid.

Death Note they decided to westernize it 4kids style and just make it a movie instead of a show so it was super compressed and barely even an adaptation. Literally the only thing they did right was
casting Wilem Dafoe.

Making their own story in the west didn't bother me. Its not the same thing as what 4kids did as it's an adaptation and not a edited version of the original.

NeonTentacles posted...

Surely they'll get it right with Death Note
Surely they'll get it right with Cowboy Bebop
Surely they'll get it right with One Piece

One piece is far harder to adapt then those first two. Cowboy Bebop should have been easy. There is no way this will be good.

They are, just not on Netflix. They didn't even start putting the English dub in until last year I think.

They might take two years again, if they add more at all. Really I'm waiting for Crunchyroll to put up the dub because I am not expecting Funimation's video app to last much longer. It's not like both need to exist when they are owned by the same people.

From the back it looks better then expected. At least they are getting the costumes right, which many adaptations can't be bothered to do.

I am still keeping my expectations as zero.

Okay an image with a gun is going too far.

What is a terf

Trans exclusionary radical feminist.

Yeah thinking trans people are all a threat to women and all of them a predators is an opinion. But it is one that harms innocent people. That is why she is hated for it.

EightySixTwoTwo posted...

I genuinely don't see what's wrong with that synopsis. It sounds like the generic text you'd read on the back of every random book.

Uh it's about a fictional.version of herself being killed by an internet critic. It's persecution complex in book form.

CloudThunder posted...

is she hated because she just has different views on things?

Depends on what that different opinion is.

She has turned her current book series into a soap box for her beliefs.

Synopsis for her latest book: "When frantic, dishevelled Edie Ledwell appears in the office begging to speak to her, private detective Robin Ellacott doesn't know quite what to make of the situation. The co-creator of a popular cartoon, The Ink Black Heart, Edie is being persecuted by a mysterious online figure who goes by the pseudonym of Anomie. Edie is desperate to uncover Anomie's true identity.

Robin decides that the agency can't help with this - and thinks nothing more of it until a few days later, when she reads the shocking news that Edie has been tasered and then murdered in Highgate Cemetery, the location of The Ink Black Heart.

Robin and her business partner Cormoran Strike become drawn into the quest to uncover Anomie's true identity. But with a complex web of online aliases, business interests and family conflicts to navigate, Strike and Robin find themselves embroiled in a case that stretches their powers of deduction to the limits - and which threatens them in new and horrifying ways . ."

Yeah feels like her own persecution complex in book form.

Majora's Mask was an entirely different game simply reusing assets and it was released in 2 years. It also had completely different mechanics, which people bitched about for years.

It's been 6 years and it's the exact same map and all we've seen is some floating platforms hovering over it. It's giving off very strong glorified DLC vibes.

The longer development times means it's less likely to be DLC not more likely. I would be agreeing with you if it was reased two years after the first game.

When we get the huge direct for this game I will be vindicated and you will be eating your words. And if I am wrong I will join you in hating this game.

Well pharmaceutical companies are dangerous. Just not for the reason anti-vaxxers claim.

The most obvious example is how the creators of insulin wanted the drug to be free, or at least always very Affordable. Any company that profits of of peoples health and puts a price tag on it is dangerous.

Nintendo almost never releases that much info about 1st party titles til about month b4 release

Yeah. Many times they won't even officially announce a game until it's only a few months from being released. This Zelda game was just one of the exceptions.

CyricZ posted...

If I recall, people did give Majora's Mask grief around its release. The relative size of the game compared to OoT, the time loop mechanic, only four dungeons.

Yes. And this game has been in development for far longer so I am expecting a meatier experience. If they took five years to make what is essentially full price DLC I will join in the hate but frankly if that's what this is we would have gotten it years ago.

Is this a joke? New York is the most unfriendly to business state except for maybe California.

Thanks for proving me right. They targeted New York and not California.

Outside the anti-trans beliefs which are more and more taking over she seems pretty left leaning. However those anti-trans beliefs will mean she will side with people in the far right.

archedsoul posted...

It's pretty clear it's gonna be just some extended DLC and otherwise largely the same exact game again.

Nintendo fanboys will still eat that shit up like it's the best thing ever.

So glad Majora's mask was made in the nineties (and released in 2000) otherwise people would have said this same shit about it.

CyricZ posted...

If only there was some way we could send Rowling a message that her bigoted ideas aren't welcome.

Do that and she will respond with a passive aggressive message that will also send hords of people.after you with death threats.

The Hamlin we see is a clone of the real one. He even said so himself.

Kidding of course, people who say he's dead and died from the vaccine are the drum of the earth.

This is the same Nintendo who will announce some of their big games only months before they are released, who tend to only give small trickles of information up until a direct where they tell everything. This is inline with what Nintendo does.

This is what Nintendo always does. So that means all their games are bad?

Bibimbap posted...

Because of more regulations, higher taxes, higher fees, higher cost of labor, etc. It all gets passed on to you, the consumer. Enjoy.

But New York isn't unique in that regard. So that can't be the whole answer.

I'm honestly really curious on how many awards this game is gonna win... especially when it comes to the GOTY Awards in December...

If this game ever wins GOTY (which will not imo), there's gonna be a nuclear meltdown in CE, ResetERA, and twitter

I mean Elden Ring won awards so a game released early in the year can win. But I can't see Hogwarts winning over Zelda, even the worst Zelda

BoyOfBattle posted...

???

it's only the most ambitious game ever from the #8 most profitable media franchise in existence. if it gets straight 9s and 10s in reviews it'll be frontrunner for GotY EASY

there's also the narrative that it's the game that went thru the most adversity. a true underdog story that the masses can get behind

It looks like an 8/10 game. Good but not great.

BoyOfBattle posted...

please let hogwarts legacy sell a billion copies and win goty

PLEASE

It will sell like crazy but it wont be a game of the year contender.

I don't think anyone is questioning whether she's a transphobe, just whether buying a videogame directly makes you one as well.

It doesn't and hardly anyone is claiming that. The people on the left making that claim are being made fun of by other leftists online.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

This sort of dishonestly is disgusting. No one is attacking her for her stance on rapists. It's about her stance on all trans women.

India's a well-known broadcaster that's been on television for decades, she should know that Rowling responding to her isn't the same as Rowling responding to some random person tweeting into the void.

J.K isn't above that ether. I mean a YouTuber isn't nobody but is nobody compared to J.K Rowling but that didn't stop her from responding to Jessie Gender.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

They tried, but he didn't give a shit and kept making great movies so it had no effect.

No one tried because its not real. When people are criticized that is not attempting to cancel them.

ViewtifulGrave posted...

Isnt Justin Roiland being cancelled right now?

He's being punished for his crimes. And besides he's A liberal so he wouldn't fall under the "cancel culture" narrative anyway.

Because cancel culture isn't real.
