Can any of them name one trans person who has been killed because of Harry Potter

The terminology used for this game here seems to always attack the creators and developers of the game not the actual issues the author is a part of and to me that sucks. The game even attempted and did a good job at representation.

I get that the game is associated with her and she sucks, but Terf Simulator? It's like making a mockery of the whole thing. I feel for the devs and people that worked hard to make the game inclusive and try to separate from.the author.

It would be cool if the game was not allowed to be discussed at all or if it was a real post about why the issues exist be stickied in every thread, but these half assed joke insults at the devs seem a bit much. Do people genuinely think the people that worked in this game are as bad as her?

Won't someone think of the game funding genocide?!

Maybe you should feel as bad for trans people being killed because of the HP IP owner as much as the game devs.

The meltdown they have over Harry Potter is really on another fucking level. Jesus christ.

Meanwhile the "yes it's a trans genocide" thread hasn't been updated in forever. That's the calmest fucking genocide ever.

Gotta say as an autistic person who struggled big time in the work force starting out, alarm bells go off in my head when I hear about "work ethic" considering how many times I got yelled at starting out in a job when I was younger because I was being given unrealistic expectations and not properly accommodated. That was a term I heard a lot to describe my shortcomings.

As someone with severe ADHD, the terms "lazy" and "not applying yourself" got thrown around a lot around me.

Interesting.

They do really use self-diagnosed autism as a shield for their lack of usefulness, don't they?

sometimes I think 99% of them fully understand, but also know that they have to say what's expected of them or else get banned, and they're all thinking "jesus everyone else here is insane, not me tho"

Meanwhile the "yes it's a trans genocide" thread hasn't been updated in forever. That's the calmest fucking genocide ever.

all this crazy shit started about 2013 and this is from 2015, almost 10 years ago

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/muhammad-cartoon-controversy-transgender-genocide-and-tobogganing-bans-1.2906924/the-quiet-genocide-against-the-transgender-community-1.2906927

A quiet genocide: That's what some activists say is happening to transgender people, right around the world. We hear from a researcher who says that's what she sees, even while others say that calling it genocide is a misuse of a loaded term.

Activists looking at deaths of transgender people around the world, say that there could be a modern-day genocide unfolding all around us.

A death last month, in Ohio, has been a recent rallying cry inside the community to consider this idea more seriously. Leelah Alcorn was 17. She was born as Joshua Alcorn, but in her suicide note she wrote that society and parents would not accept her true gender identity. Her last words before saying goodbye were "fix society please."

According to Tarynn Witten, in order to fix society, there first needs to be an acknowledgement that there is a quiet genocide happening today.

Tarynn Witten is a Professor of Biological complexity and emergency medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University, and an international expert on transgender violence and abuse.

The use of the word "genocide" by the LGBT community to describe its plight, does strike some as insensitive to victims of the Holocaust, and other mass atrocities.

Bernie Farber is an expert in genocide. He is the CEO of Paloma Foundation and is the former CEO of the Canadian Jewish Congress.

User banned (1 week): inflammatory comparisons; there are many comparisons available to you, you do not need to make that one

I have a very uncharitable read of the transcript, but to suggest that his fundamental support of Israel is defined by the opportunity to spill Palestinian blood is not one of them.

I mean I'm not too pressed about which came about first, because the results are the same.
In the end he has said that he is a Zionist, proudly. And that if there wasn't an Israel, there would need to be one created. He states his love and friendship with Netanyahu. And much of the concern he feigns is more how Israel or the USA appear across to the rest of the world. He doesn't value Palestinians as human beings.

Like If someone said "I am a Nazi and I love Hitler" Does it need to be stated what their wishes are for Jewish people?

Zionism as an ideology banks on the removal of Palestinians.

As an aside, when he says shit like "Israel is the only safe place for Jewish people" and that is not seen as an insane thing to say, then you might as well just drop the charade. This whole stance is insanely dangerous for Jewish people in the long run. By basically tying an entire faith, and insisting that this is the only safe thing for every follower of that faith to believe in, it will have enormously dangerous implications in the future.
Even if they managed to remove every Palestinian from their homeland, do people think Israel will be safe as a result?

Gonna be honest, if Majors is acquitted somehow and kept in the MCU as is, it's going to make me very uncomfortable to watch.

But you're still going to watch, huh. 

What an "Ally" you are to domestic abuse victims.

In excited about Blade… but Marvel has been horrible with their licensing a this past years outside Guardians and SpiderMan. 

It's wild that went from licensed games being almost universally shit cash grabs to being some of the best and most hyped games across the industry. My have things changed.

 

You have SpiderMan ( a Sony joint) and Guardians (that bombed hard) and Snap (mobile shit). WHAT FUCKING HYPE?

You can't just bring up likes from November! This is December 14th likes!

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

But still impressive.

Edit: I am not at all discounting "the collective nation of Jewish people" by not including them in the Like Congratulation of December 14th post. Instead I congratulate Nintex AND the Jewish nation for a post worthy of 17 likes that was posted on November 27 of this year.

I thought wings was like slang for shoulder meat.

Is there a bigger collection of simply stupid people on the (mainstream) internet than Resetera? Like, this is an honest question.

I feel like you guys keep saying that, but it was completely absent from almost every other major goty lists. Is it really 'expected' when it was absent from everywhere else? It clearly didn't make much of an impression as a whole most places

Nothing to do with American centric journos (the ones most readable to bat for the trans community) just not bothering to nominate it in most American centric game awards.

I get that the game is associated with her and she sucks, but Terf Simulator? It's like making a mockery of the whole thing. I feel for the devs and people that worked hard to make the game inclusive and try to separate from.the author.

You save the most hate for the one you were closest to. 

They were ALL Harry Potter fanboys before 30% of them transitioned to being trans or non-binary and then betrayed by Joanne (TERF cunt).

[Boredfrom]

I'll just leave. It's just such an immature way to approach these discussions, but it's the law of the land so I'll leave it alone since I'll get banned for even talking about it.

If you want to be 'mature' about it, sure, let's be mature. I'm currently reading and writing notes on the ongoing court case regarding the murder of a 16yo trans girl who was stabbed to death and left to die in the middle of a park in broad daylight. During this period of time two government officials have come out with the intent of making it illegal for trans women to exist here, and to suggest that trans-affirming healthcare is actually a form of conversion therapy for gay children and should therefore be banned as part of a long-delayed ban on conversion therapy, itself only delayed because it would have included conversion therapy for trans children. The talking point that trans care is a form of conversion therapy comes directly from Rowling in 2020.

Is that what you needed to read, because honestly getting in your feelings because someone called Hogwarts Legacy 'TERF Simulator' while knowing the context behind why they would do so is infinitely more immature than someone throwing a minor amount of shade at it.

 

You are such a vile cunt, Kyuuji.

To those among the 30+ guests regularly viewing this space who are also ResetEra members:  do you ever read the day-to-day takes, reactions, judgements etc. on era and ask yourselves, "Isn't this all a bit cultish?"

No, because in true cult fashion, only the leaders know about this place. The rank and file cult members are not permitted to discuss anything outside of the cult and are heavily policed onsite and in the accepted places off-site.

Well let's address the leaders then, since they're apparently lurking compulsively: you folks sure have a keen eye for spotting and condemning the abusive, coercive and oppressive aspects of Scientology, just to name an example. Why then do you insist on emulating every single fuckeaded thing they do?

I'll hang up and listen.

Just catching up, sooooo many people praising Hogwarts in that bafta thread. And then EVA daring to talk down to the trans mafia. Gonna be a lot of permas. Or this could be the catalyst for BDumbs to take his site back (he won’t).
