TFW I'm not applauded as an ally by the transpeople I'm actively misgendering.

They had the clown take that somehow JKR makes no money from the harry potter license so it fine to buy the game

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 29 points 6 months ago

Fascinating to read those lib takes. Everything that agrees with them comes from some Higher Authority and is beyond reproach or questioning, and anything that works as a counterargument to their views is just nonsense not worthy of discussion or consideration.

Treat defender went on the offensive when that Harry Potter game was criticised.

Thread starts here.

This over the fucking Harry Potter game? The one so bad even a decent amount of HP hardcore fans admitted it was mediocre?

[-] Notcontenttobequiet@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

That's literally what I was thinking. And what the Jim/Stephanie Sterling videos outlined.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 41 points 6 months ago

imagine being this emotionally connected to Pigfart's Legacy

[-] Notcontenttobequiet@hexbear.net 39 points 6 months ago

Just read through all of that. Exhausting.

[-] spectre@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago

Just buy the fucking tray and shut the fuck up, silicon valley bazinga ghouls have like 8 times as much of my money from my Netflix subscription. I'm not gonna "defend myself" about it if you all want to @ me cause who tf cares lol?

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 6 months ago

All I need to know that reading their opinions will be mostly a waste of time

[-] TraumaDumpling@hexbear.net 51 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

so focused on distancing the game from the creator's blatant transphobia they miss the dev's blatant antisemitic blood libel plotline of the main quest lmfaooooo

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 39 points 6 months ago

Oh no, they were quite insistent that it wasn't actually antisemitism because some Jewish blogger said it wasn't (as long as you ignore all the actual claims people are making and only focus on fringe stuff of course). They doubled down on both insisting it was neither transphobic or antisemitic through the time tested method of just ignoring everything everyone else says and insisting you are correct and morally pure no matter what.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 43 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Apparently the good transgenders love transphobia and antisemitism, maybe someone should go over to blahaj and poll the transfem community on their opinions on this matter,I have a feeling snowe may be surprised by the results thinking-about-it

also I would be honored by the you people bit being a tagline

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 38 points 6 months ago

Do they know a trans person in real life, have they ever talked to a trans person in the real world, face to face? Hell even anyone from the LGBT community.

You can type all the paragraphs you want, it doesn't mean anything when push comes to shove.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 29 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Also, someone who spends all day every day writing articles about how trans people should detransition to receive God's love or something could also, from their perspective, say they've "written thousands of paragraphs in support of trans people." Volume is nothing, content is everything, and the content of this person's screed veers awfully close to standard reactionary bullshit with that "you people just want to be offended!" chestnut.

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 23 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

If they're all comments from a sports subreddit like the screenshot shows, it's probably to do with defending the rights of a trans athlete to play the sport, at least I would guess so. So the content is likely fine. It's just that most online comments are hypotheticals and don't really track with how someone would deal with a similar situation in person, due to the way the internet works with anonymity and all.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 18 points 6 months ago

I looked into their posts on Reddit and they did post stuff against the trans ban in sports there, but their understanding of the systemic nature of trans discrimination is... Lacking

[-] jaeme@hexbear.net 26 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

People who do this type of shit definitely do not know any trans people in real life. Chronically online behavior is linking to Reddit threads for credibility.

[-] HexBroke@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago

When my children ask me what I did during the holocaust, I'll be proud to say I posted about it

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 36 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Libs losing an argument then loudly proclaiming how they're going to block Hexbear will never not be funny.

[-] macabrett@lemmy.ml 27 points 6 months ago

I love the "You people (I swear by You People I don't mean Trans people)"

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

"No you don't understand, the transpeople I've made up all agree with me and would celebrate me misgendering you. They all know I'm the one true ally. Every transperson disagreeing with me in this thread is a fake transperson and also mentally ill (which I find contemptible)."

[-] showmustgo@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago

Oh God it's Natalie Ryan discourse (disc course hehe)

I thought I left that behind.

Although I miss the disc golf subreddit I literally cannot force myself to use that dog shit mobile app.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
