Support NeoGAF

[Putonahappyface]

This is apparently all the bad things Rowling has done listed below, from the batshit crazy Kyuuji poster on resetera. They also wrote a 25 page essay on why she is so bad but I ain't reading it:


"J.K. Rowling is someone who:

• Helps drive trans children toward self harm and suicide.
• Openly supports and champions people who call for the genocide of trans people.
• States that trans people at large shouldn't have a blanket presumption of innocence around not being sex offenders.
• Vilified a charity for vulnerable children so much they had to close and restrict their services, and withdraw staff over fears for their safety.
• Doesn't believe trans people are natural, and instead that it is a mental illness.
• Supported and praised the anti-trans propaganda video of a self-confessed fascist, who believes we are one of the greatest evils in human history.
• Calls the movement for trans rights an 'authoritarian, misogynistic and homophobic movement'.
• Denies trans people are a minority, plays up trans women as sex offenders and pushes conspiracy theories.
• Drives key support for Allison Bailey and the LGB Alliance – a far-right hate group who are directly working to erode the rights of trans people.
• Sends love to allies of hers responsible for doxxing trans women.
• Helped reduce the ILGA score of the UK by being a prime motivator in increased hostility towards trans people.
• Acts as, and is seen as, the primary figurehead of the anti-trans movement in the UK, one that has seen sentiment toward us erode dramatically since 2020.
• Related transition to being a new form of gay conversion therapy, one that should be further restricted.
• Regularly platforms and boosts lobbying groups and individuals who are working to remove rights of trans people in the UK.
• Led a revolt that saw the most basic reform for Gender Recognition in the UK scrapped, despite a 70% approval rating.
• Openly supports people who are anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage and would prefer AIDS to charities that support trans women and children.
• Added to a pressure that resulted in links to support systems for vulnerable trans children being removed by the BBC.
• Pushed for a move that saw young trans people face further hardships in accessing trans-affirming healthcare.
• Has been cited by foreign politicians in their own bids to restrict trans rights, healthcare access and freedoms.

It is inarguable at this point that Rowling is actively and demonstrably destructive to trans lives, especially that of children and those in the UK. The wave of transphobia she ignited and continues to drive has led to legislation being scrapped, rights being removed, career paths denied, children's charities closing services, proposed bans on torture reversed and hate crimes against trans people reaching record highs. That is all to say that this is having not just a real impact, but a significant one. Life for trans people in the UK grows more uncertain as a direct consequence of the above, and it's not about to stop."

Please, note how pretty much every fucking point of that list is a mixture of freaking hyperbole and attempted emotional manipulation.
"She drove trans children to suicide". What the fuck are you even talking about?

I really think pretty much everything listed is a huge stretch.

It goes from she likes a tweet to she drives people to suicide really quickly.

 

[PeteBull]

That fucking hypocritical shitstain will play the game because someone will « donate » it to him/her/xer/xir/it/etc (I don't know anymore..)

probably it, its an evil human being after all

 

[Unrivaled18]

The thing is too, it's a video game forum. People are going to have different views on shit.

Just because someone has a different view point doesn't mean we have to hate eachother. You're never going to convince the entire world that there are 100 genders, you just aren't.

 

[MegalonJJ]

The Factphobes (Truthphobes?) are going full pro-censorship Fascist-Retard and thinking it's progressive...

This guys made an account just to bitch about a game?

It's not any game.

It's Wizard Game.

It's craziness.

• Doesn't believe trans people are natural, and instead that it is a mental illness.

Quite clearly needing plastic implants and cosmetic procedures is not natural. Gender Dysphoria is a documented mental illness just like Body Dysmorphia. Why can't people accept facts?

Yep. Posts like that are exactly what alienates everyone else and makes them look the other way. The misinformation is so blatant that it makes people doubt the core message, so they take it all with a huge grain of salt. It has the complete opposite effect of what's intended.

 

[Rykan]

How the boycott campaign started and how it's going:

 

[Salz01]

Are there any trans people here on this forum? Kind of interested in their view. Not sure if it's a derail or not. But as it pertains to the game.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

You're never going to convince the entire world that there are 100 genders, you just aren't.

Not without brutal government enforcement and mandatory minimums. Like say, in the UK, I believe just a person criticizing was swatted iirc?

 

[CuNi]

I'd be interested in hearing their opinions too, but to be completely honest, I don't think many, if any at all, will come forward.

With how the discourse is going, you'll be put on trials for human rights violations for buying this game soon.
Now even withholding to make a statement paints you as a transphobe, so I'd be surprised if we'd have many people come forward with a social media presence and publicly say they don't care or support it.

 

[nush]

Spoiler: I got something for ya reeetards

BOO!

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

One wonders how reviewers are going to handle this.

They handled other controversies with 6's and 7's

There's all type of people here

 

[bender]

I wish the collective we could stop dragging Era as it usually ends up being the opposite yet equally annoying reaction.

Yes, in fact one of the best posters on the forum.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Just saw the pinned tweet their censoring any discussion of the game because of JK rowling, who has nothing to do with the game.

But her off-topic thread is still open and active and actually involves her person.

huh

Click on the links. Almost Every one of those articles cites zero proof of what they are touting. Out of context quotes and actual tweets that say or prove nothing.

I mean, it's reeeeee so...no surprises.

 

[TheRyzzl]

Damn...I wish I got see that thread before it got rebooted. Was it like 90% people saying HL?

 

[SegaSnatcher]

REeEe mods..

Wait, they will literally ban anyone who admits they will buy the game? What absolute garbage moderation, that place is beyond a joke.

 

[CuNi]

What do you mean "will"?
They did that. They nuked the thread and banned everyone who admitted to buying the game, and continue to do so in every thread.
There is nothing on earth you can do or say to not be labeled a transphobe once you bought the game.

 

[Jaybe]

like 30-40% yeah

and the other 40-50% smart enough not to fall for the trap lol. Thx!!

 

[BoxFresh123]

It's probably going to do big numbers across all platforms regardless of reviews. Whatever you think about exclusive content deals etc it's on of the best games PlayStation could try to align with PS5.

Pretty much the game generations of HP fans have been waiting for since the books first dropped.

 

[Dynasty8]

Imagine any other online forum banning for just mentioning the name of a game. Absolutely insane.

Yep. No clue why the a few developers are on Reee, when mods there try to cancel the hard work of colleagues at another studio. It could be their project next that's attacked based on a mod's whim.

Damn. Imagine that person a judge, incriminating you with all these. Crazy person.

patting himself in the back and telling to his wife's boyfriend

I just can't

 

[Gamerfan81]

Comparing playing a video game to actual genocide and mass murder. The vocal section of the Trans community is insane. Just like their gender dysphoria, they are out of touch with reality. Thinking someone is engaging in Crimes Against Humanity because they want to play a video game and don't agree with their views. They are insane and the people that supports them are insane. That is all.

 

[Ozriel]

Yeah, but they're playing the game. Pretty much The Bad Thing we're not supposed to do. Also profiting from the game via review clicks.

It'd be crazy hypocritical for someone to play through the entire game then tell others not to play.

 

[Flabagast]

From a French point of view Resetera mods are litteral by-the-book fascists. I hope everyone posting there and reading this comment is aware of this fact

yall are BIG mad at a website full of strangers, huh? get a job, snowflakes.

Errorist Ree Cell reactivates and feels like trollin'.

Sorry i actually have a social life and a job where i support the staff members that actually save your ass whenever the inevitable suicide attempt is on their way.

It's not any game.

It's Wizard Game.

You can't even buy "WizardGame"

If you say that Wizardry game or Wizardry they will have to make clarify themselves since that's a legendary series.

Unless they are okay banning discussion of a unrelated series. Because the name in Ree teems makes it guilty by proxy despite have literally no relation to my Hog's Wart.

 

[Lasha]

Has anybody leaked footage from advanced copies yet? The reddit guy gave a pretty good account but I really want to see the game in action.

BOO!

[Fishels]

One of the biggest negative nancys about Cyberpunk 2077 not only played the game but posted about it all the time there. You can bet she's buying Hogwarts Legacy on day one!

I did not know that. Resetera is a place that baffles me AND I am liberal for the most part. Any site that is banning one side is an immediate red flag.

Especially when Hogwarts legacy the game is flat out banned and it is about people flying around on broomsticks and casting spells! If you want to have a dedicated thread to talk about how Awful JK Rowling is have at it. But nobody is gonna tell me I can't discuss a game on a gaming forum. And the mods there would classify this as "whataboitism" but why is it less offensive for them to be buying iPhones?

Last time I checked those were definitely made on the backs of underpaid and poorly treated humans. But nah we have to go after the wizard game

sorry rant over

Their lame ass excuse for smartphones will always be how much they are a necessity in this day and age. But you don't even have to use iPhones when they're plenty of other examples you could pull that aren't necessities.

Hey I am from the future and real quick just want to say JK Rowling was right about trans people.

 

[TheRyzzl]

The thing I've noticed though is they go extra crazy whenever there is a trans issue. Cyberpunk and now this game entire controversy is trans related. Can't think of any other games being banned from discussion. Blizzard for example had the ccp controversy and all those big sexual harassment allegations or whatever but you can hype up Diablo 4 all you want. They all hate the creator of kingdom come cause he's apparently some alt right gamergater or whatever but that game had an OT and people still do lttps on it. They get legit big scared and get bullied so easy by their own trans community especially from a particular member. It just makes no sense to me take take such an extreme stance against the game cause a "problematic" individual is profiting from it and not do the same for the others?? But I guess there wouldn't be much of a forum left if they did that..

 

[Rush2112]

Not a single trans person I've known has ever acted like any of the delusional idiots on era, twitter, etc. They've all been regular ass people and I'm willing to bet they'll be playing this game next week.

 

[balls of snow]

You know... I usually don't care about this sort of thing at all and just go on with my life until something affects me personally.

This is just so damn interesting to watch, though.

How petty can you be. Ree mods must have squad up with Purple Tinker on the regular for some hot pony on pony action.
