People think they’re doing good but they’re just being argumentative, judgemental trolls while pushing potential allies away. I am judging y’all - y’all can’t sacrifice a game about 12 year old magicians running around a castle in solidarity of your community… it’s judgemental worthy!

Like Rowling’s TERF a$$ geared the story TOWARDS those who felt alienation in the real world. PLENTY of LMNOP’s & BiPOC are still playing the game, let them live. Like why do y’all have to find every excuse to bark at the already disenfranchised individuals who have a longtime attachment to this IP. I also know multiple trans friends who still love this game so in all honesty? I see a lot of the policing of this video game coming from chronically online twitter users and they’re 9 times out of 10 white and trying to call the game racist now as well? Like what? Baby log off. Y’all can’t let go of a story about teenage wizards and telling people to go touch grass… I beg look in the mirror Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOOK 76,406 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Benji you need to calm down. Look, your pfp is Lady Gaga alright... but backstage at the Victoria's Secret fashion show. After every wrong thing that Victoria's Secret stands for, after all the damage its done to standards in beauty, mental health, physical health, and after all the hardships that models had gone through to be there... and yet here you are parading your moral compass. Shame on... ... YOU, Benjamin!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when we have members saying they’d also do it if the creator was a Nazi A weak calibre of people! This is just such a dumb take. Harry Potter was an escape for a lot of people in their child/teen/young adult years. I personally didn't have many friends (because I was from a different country and also gay (but not knowing it yet)). Harry Potter stroked my imagination at the time and gave me something productive to do. It engaged my love for reading and learning, and it played a big part in me learning English. The idea of Hogwarts and magic gave me comfort, even though I knew it was fiction. The later and more dark stories personified some of my later struggles. I'm sure people relate to the stories the same way I do, and probably even more around some of the themes of depression, love, abandonment, and death. If you understand that these are personal experiences and still ridicule others for their choice to enjoy the IP that's quite frankly narcissistic. You're ridiculing others for identifying with their personal experiences because they're not putting your personal experiences/beliefs first. And I will selfishly always pick my own happiness over the feelings of the LGBT community. Because quite frankly I don't owe anything to a community so abusive. The community has done nothing but alienate me, made me feel unwanted, and judged. I've never hated people more than what the LGBT community is. Not because they are lesbian, gay, bi, or trans. Because just like you've exemplified in this thread, I've always just been a piece of convenience to the people that make up this community, always meant to put "the community's" feelings first, always just a number or meat body. So I'm sorry, but I'm not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a community be open and loving towards you when you support things directly harming that community and you’ll so willingly say you hate a whole community?

I'm gonna keep supporting teenagers struggling with their sexual and/or gender identities through charitable donations and meaningful discussions while you berate people and write threads on a pop culture forum.

Trying to drag people who “can’t let go of a wizard game” yet you sitting here in this bitter thread replying to everyone out of boredom. How old are you? Quickly.

This only got replies because people become so offended that their game has even more far right ties than they know is justifiable so they came into defend it with as much as they could. I’m going to keep replying for as long as you lot keep coming in to defend the indefensible. Keep em coming queen! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
