Financially supporting a crusade against a minority group (trans folks) is one of my pet peeves

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

The game allowed you to create a trans protagonist (male voice/female body, pronouns, ...). It isn't a crusade against them at all, it is empowering them. No matter what the author said.

So. You’re saying the developer and everyone that worked on the game are part of a crusade against a minority group?

Or is it just that you’re delusional enough to think that because the creator or the IP is a blowhard hag of a human being, everyone associated with her IP should be thoroughly punished?

Nah thats not what im saying. But the millions raked in by harry potter enterprises goes in to Rowlings pockets. Also, i dont weep for the devs, they were paid already...

So? People like the game. They’ll play it. It’s not for you to decide what they spend their money on.

She gets paid or not. Shouldn’t matter to you. Maybe find something to occupy your time better.

So? I dont like your arguments. I will refute them. It is not for you to decide the tenor of discussion on this topic.

Transphobia will be discussed. Shouldnt matter to you. Maybe find something to occupy your time better.

lol… okay! Enjoy the crusade. I just bought a copy of the game to support the developer in your honor.

Lol, this guy. If you got 60 bucks to throw away because of an internet comment I cant really help you.
