@marinaxdove It's every content creator playing this game and that is all thats going out to mainstream News outlets, they will then cite like one JKR tweet that most normies don't even think is transphobic and the boycot did more to hurt the movement than help.
@TheP0w3r10154@blade346 Ok to adress the point of your screenshot, tha bare minimum is not to be the perfect ethical consumer that doesn't support anything horrific with their purchases, the bare minimum to be an ally is to not agree with JKR, nothing more nothing less.
@itskasa@blade346 I don't give a fuck about this game, I'm saying that the Broader message from this boycott should be that JK is a piece of shit and not that a bunch of streamers got harrased for playing a video game because twitter users disagree with JK.
@TheP0w3r10154@blade346 I get that Transphobia is rampant, and it's easy to get emotional when you see the direction the world is heading in. But you need to learn how to focus that anger on the right people and not on someone making cosumer choices you don't agree with.
@TheP0w3r10154@blade346 I didn't buy the game, I'm not buying Nestle, I'm not eating meat, I source my coffee from coops. I'm pointing out that your strategy of being toxic on twitter towards the people that buy the game is actually harming your cause. Keep shitting on JK, stop being annoying.
@itskasa@blade346 I honestly don't care enough about this part of the argument to keep going because the rest still stands even if literally every dev that worked on the game was personally transphobic.

I'm sorry if that was your experience in the gaming industry, but thats generally not how how game studios operate.
Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment, the gaming side of the WarnerMedia company, houses over 2500+ employees. The gaming division was founded in 2004 and owns several major studios like Rocksteady, NetherRealm, TT Games and Monolith Productions.

@TheP0w3r10154@blade346 It's not the not being able to play xyz part, nobody actually gets stopped by you being annoying on twitter, its annoying shitheads on twitter that radicalize people. Let people enjoy things and focus on shitting on JK, not the people that spend money on her IP.
@agrumpygremlin If a conservative tells you that you can't advocate for a better society unless you are a flawless human that can't do no good you dont stop advocating for healthcare.
@blade346 Advocate for the right things without being obnoxious about others consumer choices because that unironically radicalizes people that just want to enjoy a a game from a franchise they love.
@blade346 Take a step back and think about what your argument entails, if buying this game makes you "not an ally", you tweeting this on your phone makes you pro child slavery.
