I feel like more and more, I've come to the conclusion that for some, their only allies, whether trans allies, feminist allies etc until their favourite thing is criticized for it, in which case they'll suddenly turn. You see that a lot with Rowling and HP but I feel it's so damn universal and kind of makes it clear people care more about their heroes, favourite works of fiction then women and minorities.

Like in the game community, we saw how many people turned on trans people with CD Projekt Red was criticized for the marketing of Cyberpunk 2077, the Wizard game of course and something I always remember, how so many people tried to shame trans people who didn't want to buy Activision Blizzards games after their history of transphobic abuse came out, I remember the thread about on ERA had people quoting journalists like Patricia Hernandez, Jason Schreier and Alanah Pearce to shame trans people not wanting to buy from that company.

I say this because I'd kind of dreading now the release of GTA6 because given how I'm seeing today people justifying,, downplaying and even mock the series misogyny and sexist treatment of women (because because of hype for the game and to annoy chuds upset about sex (which like I said in the Gamergate 2.0 thread, I don't believe many of the people supporting and defending the sex in GTA6 trailer would be if it didn't include leering shots of Lucia Caminos arse or if she wasn't conveniently attractive (see the freakout and anger against Abby's sex scene in The Last of Us Part 2), or if the sex scene was instead a non-exploitative same-sex scene between two men or two women), like seriously why is the idea of killing prostitutes now considered funny?). A series women reviewers have routinely been sent death threats and harassed by fans for daring to criticize the game for it's treatment of women, even in glowing reviews of the game.

I'm sorry but after today, if GTA6 has transphobic shit (and given the series is known to hit down, has had transphobic shit in the past and Rockstar history of having a "boys club" work culture, I really there is a good chance it will for a cheap joke) people on ERA and the internet will turn against and dogpiling trans people for speaking out. I'm really dreading that.

Fuck you, your kween Kyuuji freakin loves Cyberpunk 2077 so much they replayed it multiple times, even did the time trick to get the game much earlier and one of the admins played the Wizard Game countless hours.
