What did society get in exchange for attempting to be more tolerant of these people? They just act like spoiled brats and expect everyone to cave to every demand they make.

I am not exaggerating when I say that these people would jump at the chance to command their own death squads. As long as they don’t have to get their hands dirty and as long as there were no repercussions, they 100 percent would.

I’m not saying it’s all trans and TRA, but at least for the extremely online ones, trooning out was nothing more than a way to exert power and control over others.

TRAs sure do love their thinly veiled manipulation and intimidation tactics don't they?

Well they can't win the straight argument.

Here's how it works with normies.

"JK Rowling is terrible because she hates trans people".

"Really? What did she say".

"She said men can't get pregnant!"

"Oh I see." (This person is mad someone said men can't get pregnant? Clearly they are off their rocker, better give them a wide berth.")

Actually, I am going to use this service and subscribe to every damn account that streams this game.

Got my preorder! I can't wait until they realize how much their clout has evaporated now... the western world is quickly approaching peak trans.

[–]ClassroomPast6178 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Got mine too.

IGN just gave the game 9/10 and it’s looking like other reviewers are doing similar. The game is now the biggest title on all platforms so it looks like this is actually showing them that no one but them cares about their fetish.

Edit: The Metacritic score is wild trust the Guardian to give it the lowest score (but still 3/5) and mention the trans stuff in the review.

Can’t wait.

Seen it get a bunch of 10/10.

Frankly I'm skeptical this isn't the typical media gaming shill hype. Game might really be amazing though I suspect a lot of them are looking at it through potter fanboy glasses.

I'm pretty non-plussed on anything potter related myself. It was hyped up to me by the "OMG reading is so cool" annoying teacher types who recommended YA crap constantly and went Pooh Pooh on any sort of actually good literature with complex themes and then hyped up more by the "Harry Potter is a manual to learn how to summon real life demon" types that when I finally got around to reading it , it was just the most bland boring and overdone trite YA nonsense with "yer a lizard harry" "yer the best harry" "yer amazing harry" then he is all that shit, and the spells didn't even work irl. I'll stick to the Necronomican thanks. And if I want my heroes journey stuff I prefer one where the hero actually has to deal with failure and overcome it rather than a bunch of Mary sue bs.

There’s nothing fascistic about blacklists at all, no, these are the actions of people who absolutely wouldn’t have a gulag place ready for anyone that disagrees with them.

Don’t worry, they’re “liberating” us. Suck the feenis, bigot!

The twitter thread of the developer introducing that webpage doesn’t seem to be going the way the developer thought it would. He’s protected it now.

Some of the comments are choice though.

There's easier ways to admit never having felt a woman's embrace

a he/him partaking in snitch behavior? unsurprising

Dang, might have to get me some chickfila at some point today too.

I appreciate you doing this public service announcement. Time to go give some brave people some subs I guess.

Thé gestapo 2.0😂

Literally subbing to anyone in that list, thanks.

I really wanted to play this game when I saw the first reveal at E3 but then I forgot about it. Thank you for the viral marketing that reminded me to buy

Why does this tweet and the website reek of chronically online behavior?

I was debating whether or not to buy the game; this seals the deal. I have to buy it now.

The thread has now been locked. I guess "Sam" couldn't handle the dissent.

He expected a wave of adulation for his stunning and brave blow against the forces of transphobic genocide.

He got laughed at for being a troon simp instead.

He had to scurry into the hugbox for an emergency comfort session.

The engineering department of my university has a hugbox for emergency comfort which is attended by a Boa Constrictor.

Now we know who to support.

They're making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who are naughty and nice.

Essentially online harassment. Bullying. The bullies are just playing that game where they pretend to be the victims. Back in the schoolyard same shit ain't it, play the video game that ain't cool get bullied.

[–]Doodle00 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

This is genuinely just opening up streamers to harassment campaigns because they like a fucking video game. The fact that they can even DO this should prove a lot of them aren’t nearly as oppressed as they claim to be, or the “genocide” they keep bitching about isn’t happening fast enough.

[–]Alienhunter糞大名 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

If I were a streamer I'd just be documenting the harassment I got and filing a suit against the people that made the list. Though if probably wait until I found someone saying something that could overtly be considered incitement before throwing the suit out.

Like it would be pretty easy to argue no? If I see someone post something like "Punch a Nazi" or "Fucking kill the Terfs" or whatever. And I've got a documented list of hundreds of death threats and harassing messages after the fact it seems like a pretty clear harassment case.

Why do they care this much, or at all.

This is just my guess, so YMMV. It's because a lot of the lefty muppets had Harry Potter as the media experience of their generation(s), like Star Wars was for previous generations. And when Rowling was nodding along and feeding the progressives with stuff like "yeah, sure, Dumbledore was gay for Grindelwald" or "Hermione could be black (referring to the actress playing her in that one play)," it gave them the notion that she was one of them, that her fame and reach would support and spotlight what they believed in.

So when she absolutely and unequivocally shut down that trans stuff, they couldn't handle the sudden shock to their ideology. That wasn't what she was supposed to say or do, not at all, and we all know how the left treats anyone that they see as a "traitor" to their cause(s). And since HP is tied to her, regardless of how they seethe and rage about that, they have no choice but to lash out at something that they cherish in their attempts to hurt her in some way.

[–]Alienhunter糞大名 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I think the biggest "crime" she did was not backing down to the Twitter mob. For years they'd go after and target people for saying whatever they deemed was unsayable and the person would just release an apology and or hunker down low if they were smart waiting for the twitter harassment mob to get bored and find their next victim. They're like sharks always on the move ready to tear apart whomever jumps into the water.

She basically did something (and I don't much like Rowling since forever ago but deeply respect her for this) where she not only doubled down on it, she wrote a mannifesto on top of it that made sense and basically made her seem totally reasonable, which is impressive for a rad-fem like Rowling.

Now the twitter mob has gotten in over it's head, it's like the sharks decided to fuck with Aquaman. She's not backing down, she's not being stupid, she's not susceptible to pressure. She can't get fired. She's got loads of her own money. She's un-cancelable essentially. And the twitter mob can't stand it so they just rage constantly. They pretend by not talking about her they are taking attention away from her, but basically they've just created even more publicity for her. It's fucking hilarious. Those fools are so totally blinded by their irrational hate they are helping her and shooting themselves in the foot.

The only reason I know about this game is because of this drama. I've not seen a single advertisement. It's like they're going around shilling for this game for free. It is fucking hilarious.

This part leads me to believe this is a reverse psychology marketing. Personally, I'm not falling for this. Not buying it, not even pirating it.

You must not think the wrong way, comrade. It hurts the feelings of teh train

[–]Dzonatan 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Reverse psychology marketing. Trolling and fake outrage is the new marketing tool. They are staging a show in which buying the game is somehow a blow against troons. It is not, troons know it is not, but they pretend it is so you would buy this corporate schlop.

Dont fall for this.

Yeah it feels that way. I'm so done with outrage marketing.

Maybe a brightly colored symbol of some sort, easily visible. Yellow is a good color, so they just need to pick a symbol that can't be mistaken for anything else at a distance.

It's a big release. Those streamers aren't going to get cancelled just because a few looney troons said WIZARD GAME BAD

I don't stream, but now I want to try it just to play this and get on this list.

The developer took down the page. Guess he got tired of being roasted on social media.
