      What about it? None of us are surprised that people chose a childhood memory over respect for trans people as human beings.

        If you stand by what you preach you should basically stop buying anything. No matter what, a billionaire is getting your money, and they are all pieces of shit I promise.

        It’s genuinely amazing to me how some people are obsessed with the idea that buying a videogame based on the works of an author that wasn’t even involved in making the project makes you transphobic.

        Would it shock you that 99% of corporate officials are bad people? I guess we should stop buying anything ever because some percentage of money can go to people I don’t like.

          She’s literally said that people buying her shit proves she’s right.

          I’m sorry people have some more morals with their money and have trouble giving it to people who have made it their entire focus to shit on them and be called rapists and groomers by their former childhood heroes.

            Your morals are fine, what isn’t fine is that most of the people boycotting the game are harassing people that buy it.

            She’s literally said that people buying her shit proves she’s right.

            So what? Why is everyone giving some dumbass writer that hasn’t been relevant in 10 years so much attention? Who cares what she says? Tons of people say terrible, stupid things on the internet. Sorry I’m not joining your crusade to call everyone that wants to enjoy a video game a bigot.

      When has a boycott ever worked? For the most part people don’t have principals unless their very livelihoods are directly threatened.
