Parvati was the only light in the darkness for me. I love her and her quest line, and hope there's more good ace rep like her in other media.

I stopped playing the game as soon as I finished her quest line because I was bored with everything else =\

No thanks. The first was not good enough to warrant buying the second at $60, let alone $80.

He has always had a strong "sex pest" kinda vibe about him....

Good.

$80? Nah, I'm good.

I'll stick to little indie-to-AA games at a lower price point and continuously making new stardew saves without actually making much progress as a break between them.

For real though, I'm so glad I got out of consoles haha.

I hauled more dirt than that in my 2010 sedan last weekend to fill a couple of new garden beds.

The thing is - there are millions of other things that you could find enjoyment in that don't actively harm other people.

How about, for example, the plethora of IP that JKR plagiarized to create the HP franchise? Or anything that doesn't have harmful stereotypes of various marginalized peoples? Or one that doesn't degrade women's roles in society by actively mocking main characters, or even passively by only having a grand total of 28 named women characters across over the one million words that make up the series?

Edit: apologies, I misremembered. There are 28 named women characters within the top 100 named character as listed by number of total mentions within the series.

Even if she weren't a bigot, and she didn't use her money to actively harm people using the money she makes, you would still be better off finding some other form of media to enjoy. You don't have to land on one thing and make it your personality for the rest of your life. It's okay to grow as a person especially if you're an adult.

While I don't disagree I think it's important to keep in mind that kids and teenagers aren't stupid - they are capable of understanding that you shouldn't allow a bad person to continue to be a bad person if you have a conversation about why what JKR is doing is bad. Most of the vocal pushback that I've experienced offline has actually come from teenagers.

The problem lies squarely with millennial parents who continue to buy books/movies/games/merch for themselves or their young children because of nostalgia. They are old enough to know better, and should be held responsible for their actions.

The reason is simple: she's a bigot. She has been successful at pushing her transphobic agenda into UK law, and she will continue to move across the spectrum because hate only knows how to hate even when they succeed.

This is exactly the reason I'm shifting from just warning people that buying her shit is immoral so outright calling them bigots for supporting bigotry. If they don't want to be bigots they can stop giving her their goddamn money.

I won't stop protesting until we make actual progress. Trump/Musk out of office, and constitution amended to prevent this dumpster fire from ever happening again. Not until people can afford places to live, and food to eat. Not until health care is guaranteed for all, not just for those who can afford it.

We can't stop just because the government changes over. We deserve better.

The record was broken and he's still going!

He is more coherent after 24 hours standing and speaking than Trump is on his best days.
