Gotta love* allies** who call spoiling the transphobic and antisemitic wizard game "rude."
*block
**people who claim to be allies
Saying it again for the people in the back:
If you are more upset with someone being rude about a video game than you are about the foaming transphobia being spewed by the author responsible for the Harry Potter franchise and its acceleration of transphobic hate crimes - up to and including murder - then you have your priorities in life absolutely fucked and I will be blocking you for my own safety.
If you are more upset with someone being rude about a video game than you are about the antisemitic tropes perpetuated and expanded upon by the Blood Libel Simulator game, then you have your priorities in life absolutely fucked and I will be blocking you for my own safety.
"b-b-but no ethical consumption under capitalism," I hear the whinging in my mind already.
The fact that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism is not an excuse to buy whatever you want. It is a balm to ease your soul when you have *no other choice* but to give money to awful, world-eating pollution-shitting megacorporations in order to survive.
And if you think that trans lives aren't "serious" enough? That antisemitism isn't "serious" enough?
You aren't my ally. You're a risk to my safety and to the safety of my community.
@LexYeen I envy your optimism and have lived too long as a Jew to share it.
@Leucrotta Yeah? Well, maybe I think it's time that changes for the better. Hate is always serious.
