is consuming the video game IP'd by the Bad One more immoral than the myriad other consuming choices you make in any given day? no... but would it kill you to show some fucking solidarity lol

there are 800 quadrillion games out there. you don't have to play this one.

@lindsayellis Not to mention the argument that "oh why don't I stream it and fundraise for a charity", you're still promoting the game via playing it on your stream.

@theserfstv @lindsayellis Shows how purely transactionally some people view charities too. Still going to brand influence on behalf of something they know is a problem, instead of boosting the profile of games made by trans creatives who don't have AAA budgets, but they'll buy an indulgence (I've seen the term "karma offset" used too) so it's Fine Actually
