You are free to buy it if you want.

Just don't call yourself an ally to trans people if you are funding someone who wants them segregated from society.

For the lols

Once more: buying Hogwarts Legacy is supporting JK Rowling.

Did anyone deny that?

Oh you're no stranger to leaving out key context, so don't get back on that high horse.

Oh really? Do list some examples then.

Much the same as goat didn't call you specifically a bigot in his first post, yet your entire raison detre in this topic was over being called a bigot.

Context. It was the negative implication that was unacceptable.

Then they were never allies

Bruh lol. Ultimatums do not win more supporters.

CyricZ posted...

It's been said already but if all it takes for you to abandon being an ally is people annoying you, then you never were

The thing is, it's not the allies who are saying that they are no longer allies. They're being told that they're no longer allies based on buying a video game lol

Yes actually.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

They can always quit. Do trans lives mean nothing to them!!!! What is a measly job, when trans folks are facing a literal Holocaust?! Rowliiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!

lol

Sorry, I couldnt resist.

Sorry son, but now you're going to be canceled for being anti-trans for buying a video game. You have to boycott the game or else you're going to be the enemy of the LGBTQ+ people. So with my holier than thou attitude, will you join us in boycotting this game to prevent JK Rowling from performing violence among trans people? You only have 1 answer.

CyricZ posted...

Yes actually.

Who? Everyone here knows that Rowling has problems with the trans community. They do now at least.

Bruh you and your kind are the ones saying internet SJWs are all talk and no action.

Well. This is action.

You can say you're whatever you want, but nobody is required to believe you. And insisting you're something that you're demonstrably not is just base hypocrisy.

CyricZ posted...

Well. This is action.

Cyric I love you but this is not action

Twitter has really fucked up the current generation huh?

Cyric I love you but this is not action

Boycott isn't action?

EDIT: Apologies for the confusion for anyone who thought I meant "me talking here" was what I meant by "action". I meant boycotting the game.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I will if you don't

Boycotts don't work when the people boycotting were never going to buy the product in the first place.

In a world where Rowling wasn't Queen TERF I might have.

And the whole point of giving voice to the issue is to inform those who are considering buying the product.

The people who want to play won't care either.

People, y'all are probably literally wearing clothes right now produced with sweatshop labor. It doesn't mean you support it.

Demonstrate then.

You don't go out of your way to make sure all your clothes are purchased in a way that the money never falls into the handles of bad people?

tldr people should quit their jobs and primary source of income causing them to starve and lose the roof over their heads over a boss who made an offhand remark because it means they can still be an ally

Just because you don't care doesn't mean no one else does. Shuffle off.

More of an argument against capitalism and the necessity to work to not starve even under poor conditions than anything else.

You guys dont make your own clothes? WTF? You bigots are both blocked now. Piss off. lol

I'm just here wondering how this topic made it to 480 posts and the games not even out yet

I still find it incredible that people really think buying this game instantly diminishes anything and everything you've done to support trans rights.

I'm gonna go out of a limb and suggest that one has a greater likelihood of ousting their local transphobic lawmaker from power than one does of preventing Hogwart's Legacy from being a smash hit.

And while I'm out there on that limb, I'd also suggest that it might be short-sighted for members of the trans community to restrict their allies to those of unquestionable loyalty / moral purity.

If buying this game disqualified you from being an ally, trans people are going to be down millions of allies next month.

The limb I'm personally out on is "is it really that important for you to play this one AAA probably-mid-at-best video game?"

It really isn't.

No I mean literally nobody will change their mind.

Since we're right at the finish line, I'm going to just say one last bit and say it speaks volumes that certain people on this forum would rather agree with someone who denies Holodomor and says that it can't firmly be squished into something good or bad over trans allies who are able to separate art from the artist.

Something you can't prove. Pointless.

It was never going to be the last topic.
