If you're going to cut ties with someone over a video game, you're probably not a friend work keeping anyway.

Mohammed bin Salman now owns SNK. I'm not going to cut ties with someone just because they wanna buy a game with Mai Shiranui's swinging bust. The same goes for any future WWE games since you know he's going to purchase that company too this year.

He owns a 10% stake. Not the whole company.

Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to finally make a change. if I was working with the game devs, I would gladly lose out on a paycheck or even get laid off if the game doesn't do well if it means a message is sent.

Im sure your family would warm itself up off the heat from your pride when you lose your house. You're privileged if you can make the sacrifice. Not everyone is

I'm missing something, I think. What is significant about Cho's name?

It's two East Asian names slapped together with no rhyme or reason. Even if you look into the entomology of the names, you have to do loop after loop to get it to make sense in English.

So it's either Rowling has this incredibly detailed, complex backstory behind the character's name or she just smushed two entirely different cultures together to make a stock-Asian character.

That's how my Chinese friend explained it to me.

Edit: Ah, they are two family names smushed together. Forgot about that.

It's weird to bring up the antisemiticism when we don't know the whole story. There's a goblin rebellion, but from the looks of it someone else is pulling the strings.

Based on the trailers it seems pretty clear the obviously evil guy in the top hat is the string puller.

Yeah I know, I was just being cryptic about it. Just accusing of this game being anti-semitic just honestly feels like a nitpick. It isn't bad enough that JK Rowling is a bad person, but Harry Potter is bad now? It just feels like moving from one goal post to another.

People have been pointing out the "anti-semitic" Goblins long before Rowling's transphobic brain rot.

They dont seem out of line with most traditional depictions so if they're supposed to be Jewish-coded then I'd peg that specific issue as a failing of the genre than on Rowling specifically.

The end of the series tries to flesh them out more and generally paints wizards in the worse light, but they're still treated as shady and conniving. Tbh Harry Potter needs to do for the goblins what Deep Space Nine did for the Ferengi

If they don't want to be your friend anymore just because you buy a specific game, they are prob never a real friend in the first place.

I wouldn't pay $70 for this game. But $20? Maybe, when it goes on sale for that. It'd have nothing to do with "owning the libs", simply what I do or don't think the game would be worth for me, but I can say that if it weren't for this controversy around the game, I likely wouldn't have even known it existed.

You know that the artist's thoughts and opinions do seep into their art, yeah? All art is political. And if it isn't saying anything at all, it's not art. At least that's what some people say. Harry Potter has one whole person who opposes slavery and everyone else ignores it or calls it good so long as the slave isn't being beaten mercilessly.

JK Rowling being a worthless sack of shit doesn't make it okay to start shitting on "nerds" with stupid stereotypes.

It's like accusing everyone who plays a Activision Blizzard game of being a NEET because the company abused its employees.

The whole goblin anti semite thing is a fucking nitpick to begin with, Goblins in almost all fantasy media have visually looked the same as in Harry Potter whether you're watching Goblin Slayer or playing the Styx games, and I just took the Goblins running Gringotts as a sort of thing where Rowling pulled a fantasy race out of a hat to run the wizard bank to further hammer home how Harry is no longer in our reality and is now firmly in the land of magic and mystery.

And I 100% disagree with those people. Art is to abstract of a concept to put such a definitive definition and requirements on it like that.

I legit have 4 friendships that I truly care about and none them would give a shit if I bought it. I'll just wait for it to be an eventual free PS+ game.

And tbh I don't really care for the virtue signaling at play. I don't see any of you fucks giving up your cell phones and electric cars when there's children suffering to mine the cobalt that enables you to have them. There's tons of entities you all pour your money into that do far worse than some old lady saying some bigoted shit that's a common belief among people her age.

That's just half a dozen extremists who have no relevance but are very loud. Most people don't care and just want to play the game.

Remember, posting on social media that you bought and played a game is less impactful than saying you're boycotting it in the name of all that is good. In the end, no one cares.

You could read it as a statement that beauty and life can be found in the toughest or deadliest environments. It could be used as a motivational message during or against an ongoing war, that even amidst all the killing there are still innocent lives that still go on.

Sure, you could just see it as a cool picture but you can attribute political meaning to it.
