@vantablack But the game, Hogwarts Legacy, is really, really incredibly good. When is the last time anyone played a non-indie title made by actual people, you know, human beings with a beating heart ?! 😮‍💨
@adrianmorales @vantablack the blood libel game?

@elexia Please, I'm begging you to know the difference between the Fediverse and that other place whose name shall not be spoken. Everyone and everything is treated fairly here.

Anyway, it's a good game. Play it and see for yourself. It was made by talented people who genuinely love the HP universe without any of the trappings of modern gaming.

@adrianmorales I have no obligation to play nice with you when you're promoting a game with a not subtle antisemitic theme supporting the franchise of a transphobe who gives her money to organizations that seek to excise people like me from society.
gonna be real with you, I couldn't give less of a shit if the antisemitism game is well made. there's lots of games that are well made that don't have horrific politics and don't support our enemy. if you go out of your way to promote this specific game for whatever reason you have to expect pushback. hiding behind "apolitical" civility to try and make the impolite angry trannies out as the bad ones isn't gonna make you many friends here.

@elexia It's not about some video game. There are lots of awesome, useful things out in the world made by shitty people or companies. Should we burn down the works of Picasso just because the guy was an arrogant prick that looked down on others? I'm just offering a different point of view, that's it, please understand.

Also, I don't think Harry Potter should determine whether or not we can become friends. We're different people, but we can still be friends.

@adrianmorales except Rowling is still using her wealth and influence to harm trans people. and yeah it's not just some video game, it's one with clearly antisemitic themes that you refuse to even address. you coming into someone's mentions to promote this unprompted makes you distinctly a person we would never be friends with.
I'm not sure what your deal is, if you're just some troll or if you have a deep need for people to accept your problematic consumer decisions, but you're getting no absolution from us and we won't engage further.

@elexia Replying to my post was just as unprompted, but did I say anything? I'm not saying it's your fault, of course. Mastodon doesn't have the best privacy options.

Anyway, you're never going to win with this Us Vs. Them mentality. Learn to think for yourself. Be your own person, and please look at things from the perspective of others.

It's OK if you don't want to be friends. Have a nice day. Take care.

@adrianmorales @elexia Adrian reads like a motherfucker who thinks because he doesn't say slurs or curses that means he's "nice".

Its not the words, it's the content of them, and what I see here is coward shit. Someone who wants to justify his continued adoration of hate content because it feels good when he consumes it.

"replying to me is just as unprompted" Okay bitch no it isn't, you fucking @'d the OP, *you* came in *here* with *your bullshit* and are rightly being told to fuck off. Now fuck off.

@Squika @adrianmorales @elexia His passive aggressive bullshit is infuriating, and his pathetic defence doesn’t even work. The devs already get paid, and money will go to the execs and that fucking bitch. And execs don’t deserve the money either. Those same execs have shown time and again that a game being successful won’t stop them from closing a studio if it will raise the share price.
