@Wowhead Playing through the campaign, watching the pretty cutscenes… halfway through the early one at the chapel, PC hangs and GPU fans start going nuts. Reboot, skip the cutscene next time, not long after PC shuts off again. 3080Ti GPU is dead. Slaughtered is an understatement…
JK Rowling: "I have never said anything transphobic"
Also JK Rowling: "Trans women are men"
Also JK Rowling: "Trans women are rapists"
Also JK Rowling: 1024 page "trans people cancelled me" book
Also JK Rowling: Meets with group that says "all transsexuals rape women's bodies"
I won’t be buying or playing the Hogwarts game because I refuse to do anything that will contribute a penny to JK R*wl*ng. She is using her money & power to fund anti-Trans orgs & is doing real harm to this ultra-vulnerable & oppressed community. Fuck TERFs forever. #TransAlly
When the only people excited by and supportive of your actions are the wilfully ignorant at best and the bigoted at worst, you should probably be reconsidering your choices.
They are the people you are choosing to reinforce, legitimise and give power to.
Pretty gross.
Life hack to stop yourself being upset about changes to the raid launch and time frames that occasion greater accessibility:
Stop basing your entire identity around a video game you fucking loser.
JK Rowling doesn't speak for women.
JK Rowling doesn't speak for LGBTQIA+ people.
JK Rowling doesn't speak for children.
JK Rowling speaks for JK Rowling, and JKR is an anti-LGBTQ+ bigot.
Many autistic people proofread and edit a text/email/message 5-10 times before sending it, to make sure they don’t send anything that might be misread as: rude, cold, condescending, critical, angry, ill-informed and/or sarcastic. If we ever take long to reply, this might be why.
Pick being a trans ally or the new Hogwarts thing.
Sorry to say, you can't have both.
If you still don't understand why, well, that in itself speaks volumes 🤷
@jiitbee@NeolithicSheep Those smaller social apps (Hive, Mastodon) do not have the security infrastructure in place to protect their users from very real harm. Bigger sites have figured out how to handle it over decades of hard work (and terrible outcomes) and these smaller sites are not up to standards
Most people: why send a text/email when you can give them a quick call?
Autistic me: why make a long, distressing call that will generate great confusion due to my processing differences and the other person’s need for instant answers when I can calmly and quickly text/email?
Choosing what to eat always feels so overwhelming, so I end up eating the same exact lunch for months at a time.
(until the fateful day where that particular meal is DEAD TO ME and I start anew)
