The only reason to boycott the title is if it's a bad game. So far everything they showed looks by the numbers but unless we get hands on impressions you never know. 

 

Exactly. If it's a good game then boycotting it will hurt the dev most not Rowling. She is a billionaire and set for life. Royalties from a game is not her primary income and people who think it makes a difference is living in their own bubble.

No i mean, why pre-order at all

Because I am a big harry potter fan, read most books when they were published day 1, watched all movies in theatres. Game seems to have high production values - all this makes me want to play day 1 

 

the factors above are simple and obvious

Not the same. People are way more intolerant to transphobia than to some weird cult that Cruise doesn't even openly talk about and defend unlike Rowling.

 

Cult which has destroyed multiple lives, including those of children ? Has spied on numerous people, has caused them physical and mental harm ? 

 

As people has said, art vs artist. Mature enough to take a call. 

 

As for her comments, no way they started transphonic. She just expressed calling "people who menstruate" as women. One can go all blind woke, but you can't menstruate without a uterus and ~ 4 weekly cycle caused by estrogen and progesterone. People are free to "identify" with a cat, but doesn't change science and anatomy and medicine and facts. 

 

West is already gripped with anti depressants - without tackling all the side effects. And now we are undoubtedly seeing hormone therapy being used in record numbers for sex change - who knows what the long terms effects are ? They generally do hand in hand with anti depressants, and long term dependance just cannot be good for any individual. Children who do not know anything about sex are forced on conversion therapy. It's a wild land out there. 

 

A lot of what she said made sense IMO. She identifies as a woman, and she will see the world as a woman. Nothing wrong with that. If LGBTQ want equal rights, they should be looking at equality, not benefits which come from being "marginal", always whining, always complaining. Same sh*t as feminists in today's world - they don't want equality, they want superiority.

This is sadly the goal for most minorities nowadays and they even eclipse the ones who genuinely fight for equality.

Again, this is not common knowledge. To learn about all this, you need to search and watch documentaries and interviews on the internet, which a lot of effort for the average person. But when it comes to the Rowling issue, since LGBTQ stuff is shoved into our faces without consent daily, and because Rowling keeps on defending her stance on a public platform like Twitter unlike Cruise, there will be a lot more people who are aware of these happenings and are willing to boycott the game and any other Harry Potter related media. If the problems related to Scientology were publicized by the media as wide as they do with trans rights related issues, Tom won't even be making big blockbuster movies anymore, let alone people getting a chance to decide on boycotting them.

I thought science agreed with whatever trans people were claiming? Like they have different brains or whatever?

So, you're against reservation/affirmative action etc? Giving benefits to minorities?

Way to miss the point. 

Reservation has made our current social system an absolute f**king mess. Affirmative action is quite the opposite of reservation. Uplift the underprivileged from the core. Give them means and knowledge to compete. Giving reservation is arbitrarily ensuring the deserved is f**ked, and someone incompetent is getting a seat or job, where they are bound to fail. This gets specially important in country like ours - where there's reservation everywhere. I've gone through the grind mate - multiple entrance exams, and seen results where people getting negative marks get admission in high ranking colleges due to reservation. The system is f**ked since your caste matters more than money or knowledge. 

And it works since it's an appeasement of masses. No one wants to uplift the poor and the underprivileged - biggest beneficiaries are the ones with money, but sitting in caste based reservation. Rarest beneficiaries are those under BPL. 

Mandal commission was the worst thing to happen to India. It gave the govt an easy way out - instead of planning and running centers to educate the underprivileged, giving them UBI - just give then seats and jobs. 

How would reservation for LGBTQ work ? Why do you even need it ? Who asks for your sexual preference at work ? I am pretty sure I work with a lot of LGBTQ people (specially considering the industry), and I don't even know they're LGBTQ - and it's not necessary to get work done. 

EEDI is about Equality first. You don't get to sit on a pedestal because of your sexual preference.

There is no point in explaining any of this. Don't fall for the bait . Few people do this through out the forum continuously. Ignore the nonsense.

Yeah. Went off the rails, and offtopic too. 

 

Let's get back to Harry Potter. 

 

Is it coming to GP ? :fear1:
