Meanwhile, people are still banned for criticizing Elon.

They don’t do that every month?

So, although they may not have a problem with trans people, you believe that one of those other labels must apply to them, just because they mentioned cancel culture? Do I understand you now?

I would suggest they make the world a better place by focusing their efforts on the root, Rowling, instead of cancelling or stream-bombing people who are just playing this game, or trying to starve/cancel the people who worked on it. The Harry Potter brand is popular enough that it might take generations to fade away even if this game never existed. From what I’ve read, Rowling doesn’t even get royalties from the game’s sales, and was only paid for use of her IP. Whether this game died in development, sells poorly, or gets buried by the backlash, Rowling is fine. She’s not the one who stands to lose anything from this witch hunt, and I don’t believe for a second that playing the game is equal to agreeing with her.

TL,DR: I’m not concerned about Rowling’s wealth. I’m concerned about the normies who are gonna get burned, unjustly, over this controversy.

Fair enough. My main issue is with the great big mob that’s attacking people who are not her. As I said, she’s rich. She’s gonna stay rich. The devs and streamers, for the most part, are not. They stand to lose a lot.

That person straight up said they don’t have a problem with trans people. Their issue was with cancel culture. How liberally do you want to apply those labels? Because if you throw them around too much, they start to lose their power.

What scares me is that this isn’t as obvious as it used to be. Some people are really like that. If you don’t hate something 100% as much as they do, they will call you all sorts of nasty names and declare you the enemy of their crusade.

In this case, all because you wanted to play a game.

If this wasn’t having a real world negative effect on people, I would think it’s funny how all these people who hate Rowling over her opinions… are revealing themselves to be a whole lot uglier on the inside than she is. She has an opinion that they don’t share. Fair enough, but a lot of these people are brimming with hatred and trashing people’s lives over it.

“Witch Hunt” is a frighteningly accurate term, because they are passionately hunting innocent people. Seriously, if they get their way and everyone associated with it is canceled, who hurts the most? Rowling? No. If she never makes another cent, she is still going to be filthy rich forever. The people who actually worked on the game, and the streamers who just want to play a game and possibly supplement their income that way are the ones who are going to hurt.

I’m sure most of these bitter people think they are on some righteous crusade, but the only effect they can have is negative. They cannot make the world a better place this way. Not everything is worth hurting people.

Yeah, I would be astounded, among the other things, if I found out I was capable of stooping to Edison’s level.
