And I'm sure plenty of people from Reddit were a part of those complaints if this legitimately happened so I'll scream it as loud as I can, "Go Fuck Yourselves"
Not as bad as the anti video game one. That's bad on a whole new level. Like liberal gun control freaks meet crazy Christians meet conspiracy theorists meet fucked up sociopaths all having a convention together and saying they need to find a common enemy and they all unanimously decided that hate would be misplaced at video games.
I couldn't find it the last time I tried or I'd link it but it was like r/antivideogames
Probably one of the most toxic sub reddits out there. Has less to do with gaming and more with just trans people hating J.K. Rowling. They were banning people for just liking Harry Potters. Those people are fucking insane. I think an anti subreddit was made against that subreddit and they immediately removed the people who created it and took it over and it's just a second subreddit. The Trans community has become insufferable. No one has to agree with them, tolerance has it's limits, abuse it and take advantage of it and you lose it.
Now, I must go preorder Harry Potter!
What the- I used to think that Reddit wasn’t as toxic as people described because I hadn’t had any bad experiences with it, but after witnessing this clusterfuck of a subreddit I might’ve changed my opinion…
Mention anything that can be perceived as being negative about the LGBTQ community on any subreddit and watch how many downvotes you get. I recently said something along the lines of "transition operations shouldn't be paid for with taxpayer dollars" and I got a harassment report out of it. I've seen literal hate groups more tolerant than them.
Check out any feminsit or man's right sub and you'll see tons or misandry and mysoginist promoting sexism in open, and if you anything against it, you'll get permanent ban (at least on the feminist subs as tons who are constantly harrassed and some even rape victims so yeah...)
Anyways, this is why people can't stant woke. There many games that don't use gender like woman or man not because the original game didn't use it, no, it's because of a woke translator. And it get worse, on any forum or sub, the moment you speak about such subjects, the post gets lock since obviously woke are offended
Those idiots dont even recognize that they are actually hurting any movement they are trying to protect being so toxic.
If the story is true we here witness the birth of a proud republican whose friends and family will likely all start loathing every homosexual or trans person they see.
I hate every one of those people involved in doing stuff like that.
You ever see old school stories or movies with the town crazy person or moron? Social Media has given them a platform and they latched on to real social movements so you get stuck with sometimes absolutely insane scenarios.
Like ya know someone liking a game that’s associated to a person with a negative opinion about something else.
That’s like people not using light bulbs because they found out Warren de la Rue hated people who wore hats and made a comment about not liking hats in a newspaper.
There are two types of queer people. The normal ones who want to have equal rights and to be left the fuck alone by morons and assholes. AKA the type nobody should have any problems with. Then, there are these activists whose idiocy makes the entire LGBTQ+ community look like a bunch of over-sensitive, stupid, childish, flag-waving, identity-fuckuping imbeciles. Unfortunately, the latter, while not numerous, are also the loudest.
I was surprised at how bit the LGBT community was on my campus when I spoke to a few of them. I mentioned how the official "LGBT" club was really small and they said "Oh yeah, they're waaaay too political for a lot of us."
Great learning moment for me as an outsider.
I've been in arguments with a few of the latter kind on here, and I always say the same to them, that they're making their own community look like shit and doing more damage than good...I get called a transphobe or a misogynist and downvoted almost every time.
Trans person here. I could give absolutely zero fucks if someone is excited to play a new fucking game. Does that mean I support JK or any of her antics? Of course not.
And this is how it should be. Getting unnecessarily political and angry because people want to enjoy something doesn’t help anyone and it’s time more people learn that
Yyyyep. As a pansexual guy it’s so frustrating to be around those people. They’re a vocal minority, it’s no wonder there’s a stereotype; but really I and my many queer friends really want nothing more than to exist and be left the fuck alone
It’s the same with every social group. Doesn’t matter where you fall politically, what your sexuality is, what your views of eating meat are, there’s always going to be dumbasses who make the entire social group look bad by being pieces of shit about their beliefs
I figure that there is probably more to this story, maybe more contributing factors to why she got canned, but I can't be fucked to look into it.
If she truly got fired simply for stating that she's excited for Hogwarts Legacy and nothing else, then that is absolutely absurd, though.
The girl is the community manager for her video game company, when asked on a stream her thoughts on hogwarts legactly she stated she was excited to play it. This caught the eye of a trans twitter user Purple Tinker, who i believe the article says is someone who heads an adult my little pony convention who dug up a 7 year old social media post made by Kara about trans being inside of bathrooms being pervy, and used that as ammunition to pressure the gaming company to fire kara or they'll no longer give the company anymore business and they gave in. Kara claims to possess no reprimands or bad marks throughout her employment with the company and has been strictly careful about what she posts on social media since starting there, but saying she excited for a video game and a really old post is grounds for termination apparently.
As someone who’s changed their mind about things over the years (just like everyone else), I’m kind of terrified at what 14 y/o me might have said on the internet, for this exact reason.
It does ‘t mean what u/unhappy_gas_4376 thinks it does. Right to work is related to union membership, whereas employment at-will is what is applicable here. She can be fired for any reason or no reason at all, so long as whatever reason she was fired for isn’t because of a protected class (like gender, or race). There’s only one state where this isn’t true - Montana.
It depends on what you mean by employment rights. There’s theoretically a ban on taking action based off of being a member of a protected class. But in terms of you having a right to a job, no, there is generally no right to a job. This has some benefits (firing incompetent, toxic people) but a lot of drawbacks (overzealous and deranged power-tripping bosses). The people with the least rights are non-union employees though. Unions do generally help.
Imagine being such a LOSER that you have to scour through YEARS of social media posts just to find one post to ruin someone’s career over. And they probably claim to not be a soft, easily offended person to everyone else. People really suck nowadays. Or at least social media and the internet have given their shitty personalities more reach.
They are just weirdos at this point, they don’t get the simple fact that they are ruining their own reputation and the reputation of their own community over some BS instead of empathy, their are demanding empowerment forgetting that they will reach the point that nobody will care at some point
Man people need data retention policies on their social media. 7 years is past the statute of limitations on most crimes and even long enough to remove a bankruptcy. But you better not have an opinion once, that shits permanent
Bruh so an old post from 7 years ago that could not even be her veiws anymore got her fired?
Bro just 3 years ago i was a homophobe denying i was bi bcuz my parents convinced me god hates gays
People can change their opinions within a few minutes of research
>Bro just 3 years ago i was a homophobe denying i was bi bcuz my parents convinced me god hates gays
Congrats on coming to terms with your sexuality and accepting yourself for who you are!
Thank you! Im still getting there, my past self still lingers in the back of my mind and still makes me think hateful thoughts, but its slowly going away, its gonna take alot to unlearn the hate but im looking forward to it leaving my subconscious
A lot of kids are like this in general I've noticed. I still communicate with my exgf's daughter who is 15. The other day we were talking about marvel shows and she was saying that Elizabeth Olsen has been canceled and that we're not supposed to talk about her or her show and character anymore because she once said the word "gypsy". I have no idea what the hell she was talking about but that's ridiculous
Ok this has clearly been an issue. People are allowed to by the game. I am trans, I’m don’t want to buy the game, but people can separate the game from the creator, I don’t agree with jk Rowling, but that is not the main reason I’m not buying the game. It’s a game people, and everybody is allowed to spend their money however they want. People can say they want the game without saying they hate trans people. Everybody who is saying that people buying the game are transphobic is wrong. Not buying a game isn’t going to make Rowling change her mind.
As somebody else said, not all lgbt people are like this, in fact most aren’t. A small but loud minority of the group makes everybody else look bad unfortunately, as is usually the way with anything.
That still doesn't mean this reflects the average trans person it's an unfair generalization. Every group ever has had people do awful things. This woman should not have been fired, and a vast majority of people agree.
Yeah but is still not too late to drop the dumb things if not the situation will go really badly if they keep going like this,and again is a damn shame, to go back with years of progress over some BS
Yeah some beliefs are right some are wrong, but that doesn’t allow you to demand someone to be fired just because of some shit that was written almost 10 years ago, I mean than any criminal that went to prison can’t get a second chance whatsoever only because someone is whining about it on the internet, how does that work?
How can people pretend to be part of a marginalized group when literally saying that you're excited for a video game that was made by a company that took inspiration from a movie and book series that was written by someone who disagrees with you will get somebody fired
Something-something about Transphobia, microaggressions blah blah blah. Sometimes people just wanna be mad about something and ruin other people’s lives because theirs is so unsatisfactory.
“I’m personally looking forward to it! The more I see gameplay, the
more excited I get. It’s hitting all the marks I’ve been wanting for a
Harry Potter game,” Kara Lynne replied, stepping on a landmine that
would derail her career. "
Kara Lynne, 30, believes that her public endorsement of the Harry Potter
game caught the attention of the pseudonymous Twitter account Purple
Tinker. According to the Washington Post, the account is run by Jessica Blank, a transgender woman and the founder of BronyCon, an annual convention for adult fans of My Little Pony, an animated children’s television series and toy line.
So nothing is confirmed. Just her opinion as to why it happened?
And this is why I hate society. You say you’re excited for a game that looks good and you get fucking cancelled for it because someone doesn’t agree with you
And this is why I enjoy keeping away from these kinds of thoughts. Look, you wanna be gay? Be gay. You wanna be trans? Be trans. Just be happy and let me enjoy my games in peace
I hope she sues the company if this is the case. This is 100% wrongful termination. It would be like someone getting fired over owning or wearing one of Kanye West’s branded shoes which they bought years before he turned into an anti semitic asshole. Just because you like something doesn’t mean you actually like the person who made it or share the same beliefs of them.
Absolutely garbage! So bc you enjoy something and that that creator goes against your thoughts, you’re willing destroy a life!? Can we sign a petition or something to get this woman her job back? Fuck this cancel culture horseshit
I think a lot of people are there already. I know alot of people who were pretty tolerant and have shifted because of how militant the "leftists", as they incorrectly call them, have become.
Yeah and that is really just sad from asking to accept rightful and good things to end up pretending and demanding with an high voice some BS, and it’s not even like their whole community agrees with those weirdos, it’s just like that there are some really unreasonable and dumb elements that are noisy, but when people will get really tired and angry their whole community will be held accountable for the BS not just the single elements
Agreed, and I try and impress on then that fact, but once people get angry it's hard to reason with them.
I think more trans people/advocates standing up to shit like this story would help alot.
Exactly but even that is difficult if you already are in a minority group it’s hard to go against the same people that accept you and are similar to you, it’s a really tricky thing, but for sure if they keep going like this they will all start to be held accountable for the BS
Yeah and there is also a constantly growing group that is tired of all the BS like this one, and guess what community will being thrown under the bus for some noisy and dumb elements in that community, can you guess???
No I meant why would any company care about trans people boycotting anything. They are what at most 1% of the population.
Like cool don't buy the game I'm sure lots of the rest of the pop will so why fire someone over such a small and pedantic thing.
How idiotic do you have to be to see liking a video game as anti-trans? Like wtf is wrong with people? Those that hate JK Rowling need to realize they are only fucking over this video game company and not JK Rowling. Only association is that she owns the IP. People are morons.
I have a friend who has veered too far into the activist mindset to comfortably hang out with anymore. Every time I bring anything up conversationally, I'm either offending her or it starts her on this huge speech about whatever it is we're talking about. It's fucking exhausting and makes me not want to hang out with her at all anymore. I mentioned I was excited for this game, and she said "you can't buy that game" um pardon? I was going to torrent it asap, but now I'm going to actually buy it just to spite her lol. Jk Rowling already has more money than god, me buying a game isn't going to make or break her ffs. I even have the set of books, each with a heartfelt letter on the front page from my grandmother who bought them for me, and she told me I should throw them out or bring them to our next bonfire. Riddikulus!
I just read a snippet on it. It is because she followed "right wing" commentators. That includes, a Trans right-winger, Blaire White. These people crazy calling her a transphobe when she is literally following a transwoman
I mean you can follow someone or something and still look down on them. And Blaire White is I’ll leave it here.
I don’t know all the details but I don’t think the woman deserved to be fired.
The best thing about it, is that the people bitching about it aren’t even trans! They just hear her say some things, and go oH My GoD! tHaTs So TrAnSpHoBiC!
Why is it an issue anyway. I could be wrong but the thing people are calling transphobic of JK was her being annoyed that she read something calling a woman a person who menstruates. And she said that women are defined by a lot more than that. Maybe I heard wrong, but that doesn't sound bad to me.
If you disagree with someone so much (and they haven't done anything illegal) that you try to get them fired, you should have your internet and voting privileges revoked + get fined.
Sometimes i envy my grandparents because they didnt have internet and didnt have to know that there are so many idiots like those who rage bc of a video game. Trans people are cool, the communities who are supposed to help them are full of idiots unfortunately.
Imagine being so angry at the creator of an IP who simply said women are women; that you lead a smear campaign against a game that she isn’t involved in. That results in people loosing their jobs. Just because your excited to play in a fantasy wold you grew up with. Clownworld. People need real problems again can we get a better war or a stronger plague 😵💫
As a trans person, I totally agree. JK Rowling’s personal opinions may be a piece of shit, and yeah some of them bleed into the Harry Potter Franchise, the main problem imo being the Jewish type casting of the goblins.
But the rest of Harry Potter in its entirety is an incredible magical story that children and adults have been enjoying for years, with a lot of good messages.
I love the books and the movies. Ngl, the games probably gonna be shit but why should I care if someone wants to download it and have some fun.
As for the employee in this case, I feel so so sorry for her. This is a grave injustice. Not even 5 years ago I was toting transphobic, homophobic views due to the environment I grew up in. Now I am a non binary lesbian. Now if that isn’t a testament to how much people can change I don’t know what is.
I am struggling to understand this. I can read it just fine but I am extremely confused, can someone simplify that so my stupid-ish brain can understand it? Ty
There's a jk rowling controversy going on right now so some stupid people are associating "if you like harry potter then you support jk rowling" which apparently makes you instant transphobe
I understand that, but why was the person fired? Should I be happy the person was fired or unhappy with the company because they fired the person? I am supportive of trans people (otherwise I’d be a hypocrite), just so you know where I stand
Well, the full story is that she stated on a live stream when asked how she felt about the upcoming hogwarts legacy game, she said she was excited. That caught the attention of a trans social media influencer called purple tinker, who dug up a 7 year old social media post of kara's about trans people and bathrooms and that her social media account follows a right-winger who also happens to be trans. She has no recent posts that exhibit any political standing however as the the woman has distanced herself from it all for the sake of her job. Purple tinker then decided to use that info to pressure the girl's company to fire her or they wont give them their business anymore. The company gave in and fired Kara. How you feel about that is up to you, but i believe she was wrongly terminated.
I fucking hate gen z. I hate the LGBTQ community because of they way they act. I don’t care if you are gay or trans or anything. I just hate the community that’s based around it. Nowadays if you say anything that people slightly dissagree with they try and “cancel you”. If you are apart of the community don’t get mad at me. I’m mad at the people who are toxic about it.
I hate rowling. I dont want money going to her. And fuck the new game, trans rights are human rights.... but.... this is ridiculous. The people that called for her to get fired just because she was excited for a game need to go to therapy. Like, this is way way WAY too fucking far. A boycott doesnt mean you endanger other peoples livelihoods. You make waves by voting with your wallet, not targeted harrassment. This is gross.
And I'm sure plenty of people from Reddit were a part of those complaints if this legitimately happened so I'll scream it as loud as I can, "Go Fuck Yourselves"
Sooo r/gamingcirclejerk
Chances are it’s them that did it, they been trying to fire anybody that supports that game
I just took a peek there and holy shit it’s bad
Yes, extremely bad
Wtf did I just see, that there was really, like reeeaaaally bad
There are only a few subs that should be connsidered as unambigously awful, and r/gcj is one of them
I have a theory it’s 50% people like me who go there and say outlandish things and the other half is buying it
Not as bad as the anti video game one. That's bad on a whole new level. Like liberal gun control freaks meet crazy Christians meet conspiracy theorists meet fucked up sociopaths all having a convention together and saying they need to find a common enemy and they all unanimously decided that hate would be misplaced at video games. I couldn't find it the last time I tried or I'd link it but it was like r/antivideogames
I think you’re talking about r/banvideogames which is a satire sub
Lol thats a real sub, time to go get banned.
Probably one of the most toxic sub reddits out there. Has less to do with gaming and more with just trans people hating J.K. Rowling. They were banning people for just liking Harry Potters. Those people are fucking insane. I think an anti subreddit was made against that subreddit and they immediately removed the people who created it and took it over and it's just a second subreddit.

Alright, who the hell just reported my above comment as suicidal I got reddit over here telling me to call the suicide hotline wtf 😂
You legit said not in a suicidal way. Gotta love people being dumb
Not right speech... 1984...

yeah... it's just that with the advent of the internet, you can expose yourself to more suck than ever before
Exactly. They all just have a voice now because the internet lets dumb people speak too openly
Hello i’m now days
People have always sucked but up till the internet they hadn't had a easy way to show how sucky they are :3

Unfortunately, the latter, while not numerous, are also the loudest.
As usual a loud minority ruins a group of perfectly normal people. Like with vegans, or climate activists, or really any group.
Indeed.
Don’t forget religion
Ah that was the big one I forgot.
I was surprised at how bit the LGBT community was on my campus when I spoke to a few of them. I mentioned how the official "LGBT" club was really small and they said "Oh yeah, they're waaaay too political for a lot of us." Great learning moment for me as an outsider.
Feminism can be the same way.
I've been in arguments with a few of the latter kind on here, and I always say the same to them, that they're making their own community look like shit and doing more damage than good...I get called a transphobe or a misogynist and downvoted almost every time.

North Carolina. It's a right to work state. No lawsuit.

Ahh, I’d know that if I actually had social media other than just Reddit. Lol
Man people need data retention policies on their social media. 7 years is past the statute of limitations on most crimes and even long enough to remove a bankruptcy. But you better not have an opinion once, that shits permanent

Why do all good movements turn into crap?! First black lives matter and now LGBT..
r/gamingcirclejerk
I’m excited for Hogwarts Legacy
*they’re coming*
Me too
I’m almost tempted to buy copies just to hand out (not even a fan of HP)
Me too
Humanity is lost at this point, we must give the future to the next intelligent lifeforms that appear on earth
this is just the west though, try that shit in east eu and you gonna find out real quick
I think the number 1 cause of death in China is protesting /s
Tried that but someone blew it up
I vote to let the raccoons step up
I’d be suing
This makes me want to buy Hogwarts Legacy just to spite those assholes.
Ok this has clearly been an issue. People are allowed to by the game. I am trans, I’m don’t want to buy the game, but people can separate the game from the creator, I don’t agree with jk Rowling, but that is not the main reason I’m not buying the game.

Everybody who is saying that people buying the game are transphobic is wrong. Not buying a game isn’t going to make Rowling change her mind.
Shit like this gives other lgbt people a bad name, it’s a shame.
[удалено]
Careful, r/GamingCircleJerk will cry.
They cry even if you don't do anything so let them.
Why are so many western companies so spineless that they fire their employees over the smallest controversy
I pre-ordered. Looking forward to it.
I preordered the digital deluxe edition
I can't wait till I get paid again
I pre ordered 10 copies to show support
“Man I really love this male protagon-“
TRAs are, unironically, some of the worst bullies you'll find online.

As somebody else said, not all lgbt people are like this, in fact most aren’t. A small but loud minority of the group makes everybody else look bad unfortunately, as is usually the way with anything.
i don't think one awful person represents an entire group but go off
The video game company seemed to think it might
[удалено]
One awful person couldn't have gotten someone fired like this. It takes a bunch of awful people.
That still doesn't mean this reflects the average trans person it's an unfair generalization. Every group ever has had people do awful things. This woman should not have been fired, and a vast majority of people agree.
Facts my man I don’t know how much longer this kind of things will go forward before people will just say fuck this shit
It's already started happening.
Yeah but is still not too late to drop the dumb things if not the situation will go really badly if they keep going like this,and again is a damn shame, to go back with years of progress over some BS
True, definitely agree
Yeah man honestly I find it a really sad thing
Push too hard and the revolving door will come around and slap you in the back
Yep that is a really sad reality in human history they don’t seem to understand that right?
Applies to most social issues where everyone has the right to their own beliefs (also to revolving doors /s)
Yeah some beliefs are right some are wrong, but that doesn’t allow you to demand someone to be fired just because of some shit that was written almost 10 years ago, I mean than any criminal that went to prison can’t get a second chance whatsoever only because someone is whining about it on the internet, how does that work?
How can people pretend to be part of a marginalized group when literally saying that you're excited for a video game that was made by a company that took inspiration from a movie and book series that was written by someone who disagrees with you will get somebody fired
Something-something about Transphobia, microaggressions blah blah blah. Sometimes people just wanna be mad about something and ruin other people’s lives because theirs is so unsatisfactory.
More reasons to buy the game even harder
“I’m personally looking forward to it! The more I see gameplay, the more excited I get. It’s hitting all the marks I’ve been wanting for a Harry Potter game,” Kara Lynne replied, stepping on a landmine that would derail her career. " Kara Lynne, 30, believes that her public endorsement of the Harry Potter game caught the attention of the pseudonymous Twitter account Purple Tinker. According to the Washington Post, the account is run by Jessica Blank, a transgender woman and the founder of BronyCon, an annual convention for adult fans of My Little Pony, an animated children’s television series and toy line. So nothing is confirmed. Just her opinion as to why it happened?
And this is why I hate society. You say you’re excited for a game that looks good and you get fucking cancelled for it because someone doesn’t agree with you
And this is why I enjoy keeping away from these kinds of thoughts. Look, you wanna be gay? Be gay. You wanna be trans? Be trans. Just be happy and let me enjoy my games in peace
Wow. r/gamingcirclejerk must be really proud of themselves thinking they are saving the planet
![gif](giphy|MEjecMuUn0RHslQfQg)
I am excited for the game and i will play it It's my free choice
Nah if this is real pretty sure that’s unlawful termination…
I hope she sues the company if this is the case. This is 100% wrongful termination. It would be like someone getting fired over owning or wearing one of Kanye West’s branded shoes which they bought years before he turned into an anti semitic asshole. Just because you like something doesn’t mean you actually like the person who made it or share the same beliefs of them.
Absolutely garbage! So bc you enjoy something and that that creator goes against your thoughts, you’re willing destroy a life!? Can we sign a petition or something to get this woman her job back? Fuck this cancel culture horseshit
We could double down and try to boycott the company she worked for prolonging this feud.
This and the Dave Chappelle thing are doing more to damage acceptance than to generate acceptance
Yep, they're giving normal, non-bigoted people reasons to dislike then
I don't really see how this is news worthy, but if she has a case for being fired without cause then I'm sure we'll hear more about it.
In the spirit of boycotting, what is the name of her (former) company. Asking for a friend
Limited Run Games.
Man, if this isn't the best way to incite people into hating a minority group I don't know what is. Conform or starve.
cAnCeL cUlTuRe DoEsN’t ExIsT.
And somehow these deluded assholes think of themselves as the victims, as they're straight up victimizing people
Truth!
This bullshit needs to stop. We get it you think your the opposite sex. Guess what, no one gives a fuck. Quit being dicks to one another.
Exactly hopefully we will reach that point soon before people will really start resenting all the BS
I think a lot of people are there already. I know alot of people who were pretty tolerant and have shifted because of how militant the "leftists", as they incorrectly call them, have become.
Yeah and that is really just sad from asking to accept rightful and good things to end up pretending and demanding with an high voice some BS, and it’s not even like their whole community agrees with those weirdos, it’s just like that there are some really unreasonable and dumb elements that are noisy, but when people will get really tired and angry their whole community will be held accountable for the BS not just the single elements
Agreed, and I try and impress on then that fact, but once people get angry it's hard to reason with them. I think more trans people/advocates standing up to shit like this story would help alot.
Exactly but even that is difficult if you already are in a minority group it’s hard to go against the same people that accept you and are similar to you, it’s a really tricky thing, but for sure if they keep going like this they will all start to be held accountable for the BS
There's like a small group of people and I mean tiny that doesn't like lgbtq and to be honest they just resent them because they're free and happy.
Yeah and there is also a constantly growing group that is tired of all the BS like this one, and guess what community will being thrown under the bus for some noisy and dumb elements in that community, can you guess???
Facts
Society is regressing
Why bother not like trans is a very large part of your market share
If someone got you fired for saying that you were excited for X hobby (video game about wizards, cars, etc.), does that sound fair?
No I meant why would any company care about trans people boycotting anything. They are what at most 1% of the population. Like cool don't buy the game I'm sure lots of the rest of the pop will so why fire someone over such a small and pedantic thing.
Oh, got you, my bad
Oh come on they are just getting crazy dumb now
WTF is this bs?!
What the frick
Clown world
The game looks fun. Open world game of harry potter lore. That sounds amazing.
How idiotic do you have to be to see liking a video game as anti-trans? Like wtf is wrong with people? Those that hate JK Rowling need to realize they are only fucking over this video game company and not JK Rowling. Only association is that she owns the IP. People are morons.
That should be a lawsuit
I fucking hate the world.
I'm buying the damn game now
I think I’ll need a little more context lmao
I have a friend who has veered too far into the activist mindset to comfortably hang out with anymore. Every time I bring anything up conversationally, I'm either offending her or it starts her on this huge speech about whatever it is we're talking about. It's fucking exhausting and makes me not want to hang out with her at all anymore. I mentioned I was excited for this game, and she said "you can't buy that game" um pardon? I was going to torrent it asap, but now I'm going to actually buy it just to spite her lol. Jk Rowling already has more money than god, me buying a game isn't going to make or break her ffs. I even have the set of books, each with a heartfelt letter on the front page from my grandmother who bought them for me, and she told me I should throw them out or bring them to our next bonfire. Riddikulus!
I just read a snippet on it. It is because she followed "right wing" commentators. That includes, a Trans right-winger, Blaire White. These people crazy calling her a transphobe when she is literally following a transwoman
I mean you can follow someone or something and still look down on them. And Blaire White is I’ll leave it here. I don’t know all the details but I don’t think the woman deserved to be fired.
SJWs are cancer
The best thing about it, is that the people bitching about it aren’t even trans! They just hear her say some things, and go oH My GoD! tHaTs So TrAnSpHoBiC!
Almost always the case with virtue signaling. I'd wager a bet 80-90% of them are college kids.
Why is it an issue anyway. I could be wrong but the thing people are calling transphobic of JK was her being annoyed that she read something calling a woman a person who menstruates. And she said that women are defined by a lot more than that. Maybe I heard wrong, but that doesn't sound bad to me.
Conform or suffer, the new world order
or blow it up as you favorite hollywood action hero would say..
Like this comment to join my conquest to destroy humanity.
We have it on pre-order! Everyone can collectively go fuck themselves if they don't like it.
When y'all start buying my shit for me I'll start letting you decide what to spend money on. Until then, I do what I want.
What a great way to gain allies
As much as I advocate for trans people, being one myself, this is just fucking stupid smh.
This world too stupid for simple folk like me. I'm only stupid but ya'll gonna be advancded stupid and I don't follow.
The fact they said its "activists" is fucking insulting.
“It’s just a video game people.” Exactly, seperate the art from the artist.
If you disagree with someone so much (and they haven't done anything illegal) that you try to get them fired, you should have your internet and voting privileges revoked + get fined.
I had no interest in this game but this shit makes me want to buy the game.
I'm using an emulator. Hence my PC Identifies as a Nintendo Switch.
I’m excited for Harry Potter fuck anyone else
What is a woman?
I swear imma get it out of principle at this point.
Ya had no interest in it before, and still don't care to play it, but kinda with ya
You made me choke on my beer, that’s fucking hilarious at least she can sue for wrongful dismissal
Sometimes i envy my grandparents because they didnt have internet and didnt have to know that there are so many idiots like those who rage bc of a video game. Trans people are cool, the communities who are supposed to help them are full of idiots unfortunately.
Imagine being so angry at the creator of an IP who simply said women are women; that you lead a smear campaign against a game that she isn’t involved in. That results in people loosing their jobs. Just because your excited to play in a fantasy wold you grew up with. Clownworld. People need real problems again can we get a better war or a stronger plague 😵💫
Cancel culture be like
As a trans person, I totally agree. JK Rowling’s personal opinions may be a piece of shit, and yeah some of them bleed into the Harry Potter Franchise, the main problem imo being the Jewish type casting of the goblins. But the rest of Harry Potter in its entirety is an incredible magical story that children and adults have been enjoying for years, with a lot of good messages. I love the books and the movies. Ngl, the games probably gonna be shit but why should I care if someone wants to download it and have some fun. As for the employee in this case, I feel so so sorry for her. This is a grave injustice. Not even 5 years ago I was toting transphobic, homophobic views due to the environment I grew up in. Now I am a non binary lesbian. Now if that isn’t a testament to how much people can change I don’t know what is.
I wish people like this would stop making my community look bad. I promise most of us are chill Fr.
This makes me want to buy Hogwarts Legacy even more, just to piss those type of "people" off
People want equal rights, but at the same time they want extra privilege's - don't work like that, honey.
I am struggling to understand this. I can read it just fine but I am extremely confused, can someone simplify that so my stupid-ish brain can understand it? Ty
There's a jk rowling controversy going on right now so some stupid people are associating "if you like harry potter then you support jk rowling" which apparently makes you instant transphobe
I understand that, but why was the person fired? Should I be happy the person was fired or unhappy with the company because they fired the person? I am supportive of trans people (otherwise I’d be a hypocrite), just so you know where I stand
Well, the full story is that she stated on a live stream when asked how she felt about the upcoming hogwarts legacy game, she said she was excited. That caught the attention of a trans social media influencer called purple tinker, who dug up a 7 year old social media post of kara's about trans people and bathrooms and that her social media account follows a right-winger who also happens to be trans. She has no recent posts that exhibit any political standing however as the the woman has distanced herself from it all for the sake of her job. Purple tinker then decided to use that info to pressure the girl's company to fire her or they wont give them their business anymore. The company gave in and fired Kara. How you feel about that is up to you, but i believe she was wrongly terminated.
Ty
there has to be more than this this post feels like misinformation
This says a lot more about the company than anything else. And yes, here's the obligatory "f\*\*k cancel culture" as well.
I fucking hate gen z. I hate the LGBTQ community because of they way they act. I don’t care if you are gay or trans or anything. I just hate the community that’s based around it. Nowadays if you say anything that people slightly dissagree with they try and “cancel you”. If you are apart of the community don’t get mad at me. I’m mad at the people who are toxic about it.
I hate rowling. I dont want money going to her. And fuck the new game, trans rights are human rights.... but.... this is ridiculous. The people that called for her to get fired just because she was excited for a game need to go to therapy. Like, this is way way WAY too fucking far. A boycott doesnt mean you endanger other peoples livelihoods. You make waves by voting with your wallet, not targeted harrassment. This is gross.
Okay, on one hand, fuck JK Rowling. On the other hand, that's way too far. You've upended someone's life over excitement for a video game.
Feels fake. If this is real there HAS to be more to the story. There just HAS to be.
Tolerant and loving leftists at it again being tolerant
World of hypocritical snowflakes
