No smugness here, just disappointment.

Why does it matter to you what others play?

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (8 children)

Financially supporting a crusade against a minority group (trans folks) is one of my pet peeves

[–] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

So. You’re saying the developer and everyone that worked on the game are part of a crusade against a minority group?

Or is it just that you’re delusional enough to think that because the creator or the IP is a blowhard hag of a human being, everyone associated with her IP should be thoroughly punished?

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah thats not what im saying. But the millions raked in by harry potter enterprises goes in to Rowlings pockets. Also, i dont weep for the devs, they were paid already...

[–] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So? People like the game. They’ll play it. It’s not for you to decide what they spend their money on.

She gets paid or not. Shouldn’t matter to you. Maybe find something to occupy your time better.

So? I dont like your arguments. I will refute them. It is not for you to decide the tenor of discussion on this topic.

Transphobia will be discussed. Shouldnt matter to you. Maybe find something to occupy your time better.

lol… okay! Enjoy the crusade. I just bought a copy of the game to support the developer in your honor.

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Lol, this guy. If you got 60 bucks to throw away because of an internet comment I cant really help you.
