So a forum devoted to combating the 'patriarchy' dedicates threads to persecuting a woman who defends the sex-based rights of women, girls and gays.

What do they think 'patriarchy' means?

At this point, ‘patriarchy’ means any sane people ready to oppose their gender bullshit.

To these people? Anything they don't like is part of their designated boogeyman.

These people keep changing the definition of words so often they don't know what anything means anymore.

It's also a series of books about witches. So yeah, think that sub is misnamed if they come down against it.

What do they think 'patriarchy' means?

The same thing everyone else who unironically uses the word thinks it means: "things that I don't like/disagree with"

Lol I hadn't heard about the game until they started mentioned not to buy it. Def put it on my radar as something interesting so I'm probably going to end up getting it.

    It just looks kinda fun lol. Wouldn't've known about it if it wasn't for the screeching. Not even the biggest fan of it but it looks decent enough. I think a lot of people are in the same boat as us. Moved on from it, have heard about it from the complaining and went "there's going to be a game? let me check it out"

    Reddit still seething that Harry Potter is just as popular as always

    They hate her for so many reasons, but they also desperately want to be the central characters of the world she created. And what's really funny is how many of them (repeatedly) draw comparisons between Death Eaters and fascists, but also give some pretty overt evidence that they themselves would happily enact their own version of "mudblood" purges if ever in a position to do so.

    [–]Haylstorm 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    For people who hate her so much they sure do follow everything so that comes out. 100% they buy whatever new edition is out twice, once to burn for the internet and once to keep and read.

    They're just mad they'll never do anything as impressive. They hate her cause they can't write something that'll ever get as big and hate that they can't force her to stop having opinions they don't like.

    They’re salty because all the Harry Potter characters, although fictional, are better at magic than they ever will be.

    FTFY.

    Good.

    The original OP is a post op tranny....

    this is a question I am very curious about. I'm a post op trans woman, and one goal many post op trans women have is to have a healthy neo-vagina microbiome. and given that we didn't grow up having a vagina, we are all mostly a bit unclear what a healthy vagina microbiome should smell like

    Trying to get some assurance his poop smelling "neo vagina" smells like a normal vagina.

    Game does look kinda neat, wonder if they were paid to promote this. It would be a clever ad.

    Weird way to admit they're virgins too

    [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

    I wish he was a virgin, he has a fiance. Dude is apparently an ex-marine.

    I transitioned after I retired from active duty USMC, so I never appeared as a woman while active duty (although I knew I was trans from well before I enlisted). I know my experience is vastly different from most women veterans, at least my active duty time

    At least his boyfriend will be used to faecal bacteria on his dick.

    Wow, that makes it even more pathetic that he doesn’t know what healthy pussy is supposed to smell like LOL

    [–]Nibot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Yikes. I wonder if anyone told him that it doesn't matter how his front hole smells, it wouldn't be a normal vagina smell anyway. and no amount of yoghurt down there will make a healthy microbiome of any kind.

    Every time I see a post ordering me not to buy Hogwarts Legacy, I pre-order another copy to give to family/friends. Just to genocide the troons even harder.

    As if the women in that subreddit play anything other than Candy Crush.

    sounds like the copy is already making it clear that the story will be morally complex and that you'll have the option to pick a side, which if i understand correctly has been a consistent aspect of these games.

    so you know, nothingburger. more idiots virtue signalling about harry potter which only happens because they're all still obviously reading it and playing these games. if they weren't there would be no reason to mention it.

    What if I'm a sensible person who tries to sometimes think for themselves and after reviewing all of Rowling's history of "transphobia," I reject the idea that anything she ever said in public was transphobic? Can I play the game then?

    [–]Objecting_Sphere 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I'm going to play it! I've got to admit, I have a bit of nostalgia for the Harry Potter books, and the game does look well developed.

    As for JK Rowling... she's not transphobic. I've seen what she's said! She's anti-trans-activist, but I've never seen her say a single hateful thing. Activists are trying to erode the rights of women in ways that don't even benefit trans people. Opposing them is not hate.

    All words have lost all meaning. These people are pushing to try and change the world to theirs and so they can control everything and everyone.

    It will never go away.
