Go on any social media site and you will see people losing friends, family, and even getting divorces in some cases because the other person is buying Hogwarts Legacy and giving J.K. Rowling money.

How does this make you feel? Personally, it's a sacrifice to be made to stand up for what is right and show how everyone is equal. I'd gladly disown family members if they buy the game. What about you people?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

Most (probably all) of the people making this "stand" weren't interested in the game in the first place.

How does this make you feel?

Im glad my relationships aren't that fickle. I feel happy to be blessed with the ability to build relationships thicker than paper.

I don't give a shit about Harry Potter tho. If someone felt strong about it, Id have no reason to press them. Not saying I wouldn't. But I don't feel obligated to. Just matters my mood

It's weird to think about how friendships you casually nade here can be stronger than ones people built with their actual family. Like you said, they probably didn't give a fucknon the first place. They were probably holding on by a string waiting for a reason to cut it.

Most people have no idea about the social media minority attempting to have the game boycotted. They're just happy to have a great looking game that they dreamed about since their childhood. The fact that JK Rowling doesn't even register in their minds is right where she should be at this point, irrelevant in real life.

It makes me sad that people's anger are misguided and they are targetting a game that JK Rowling has nothing to do with. She already got the money. Boycotting it doesn't hurt her. It hurts the people making the game including some that are trans.

It is not at all clear why that makes sense for people who pirated it. The major issue I am aware of stops existing once monetary exchange is removed.

Still keeps the product relevant and the game still has an extremely antisemitic plot because of you suppressing a rebellion of the antisemitic caricatures. So trying to come up with ways to play this problematic game is concerning no matter how you cut it.

Maybe I'm a terrible person but when I read the first HP book as a kid and saw the first HP movie it never once occurred to me that "goblins = Jews" until it was pointed out online years later.

I dunno if that makes me racist or the people who pointed it out racist.

It makes Tolkein racist since hes the one that made it popular? So what we just eradicate goblins from fiction now? Are we boycotting lord of the rings as a series now? The same series that has people absolutely enraged at the presence of black elves in the new Amazon show?

It's a pretty well established antisemitic trope and considering that Rowling did stuff like Cho Chang's name it is obvious she was racially insensitive at best back when writing them. But considering a recent excerpt of her new book is floating around about her writing a Polish character, well. She's racist.
