Doe posted... So first of all, I want to stop you here and point out that my primary interest is not arguing that the HL boycott was a good idea or that the tactics used by lots of angry internet users are justified, and I have not excused that behavior ITT. My interest is in shining light on the actual motive of some of these posters who are celebrating, or rather gloating about, the success of the game. When you let them in and validate what they do, they turn a place into modern neogaf, or /v/. I don't want that for CE.That's fair I guess. I don't like those people either. Clearly there are a contingent happy about the success because they agree with Rowling's deplorable beliefs, ironically making them more concerned about politics than the game. But the vast majority of people playing the game are just buying a video game because they think it looks cool or they're Harry Potter fans. And the angry Internet people need to get a clue or take a hard look at their own video game purchases and I guess decide what issues they really care about. --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png he/him/they/them ...

This has been the result of game boycotts since the Left 4 Dead 2 outrage. It just puts the game on blast and gives it free advertising to people who don't care about the reason of the boycott and others looking to troll the boycotters. It's a weird time. Edit: Not saying you shouldn't boycott by the way, stand up for your beliefs, but... it's just most likely not going to get the intended result these days. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If I say trump supporters are pieces of shit on Facebook that is not harassment. If your spam DMing someone or following them into a store and yelling at them thats harassment. Given how large of a spectacle this has become I wouldn't be surprised if thats happened to some people.
