Good, blessed be KonradLeijon!GDQ Bans Hogwarts Legacy & Harry Potter Games from Streams
Games Done Quick (GDQ) has banned Hogwarts Legacy, along with other Harry Potter games, from future speedrunning livestreams.www.escapistmagazine.com
Not just Hogwarts Legacy, the entire series.
So, basically, every HP game ever produced is banned from streaming, whereas something like God of War, a series that routinely features graphic dismemberment, gets...only a single game banned.
And that is an absolutely good thing to be an honest fact that they take action against all forms of bigotryThis is nothing new for GDQ. What used to be a place for gamers of all types, now is a "safe haven" for anyone that is trans or part of the gay, lesbian, & bi community. The cost of being jackass, they who fight monsters, and being over sensitive to anything. You should see the guy that literally almost got banned for making a Devil Trigger joke, when playing DMC4 SE.
Jesus Christ are you still here? Can somebody call this guy’s mum and tell him he’s up past his bedtime.Good, blessed be KonradLeijon!

That's a matter of perspective, isn't it.Being battle hardened by your personal experience and trauma does not, in any capacity, lessen the difficult things other people have to experience.
I guess so. I just think it's a shitty thing to say or believe.That's a matter of perspective, isn't it.
Good ol wording on the internet making that hard to perceive for some (like me).I think you misunderstand me a little though. What I hoped was clear in context is that I'm not describing a set of conscious beliefs, I'm describing an involuntary response to trauma.
I'm glad that was clarified, at least... cause damn, the initial impression there was not good.I don't look at someone crying over being called out for playing stupid wizard game and think "wow, I'm so much better than that person", I feel an involuntary spasm of disgust because they remind me of a part of myself that I had to kill in order to survive.
I don't think it's fair to say this is the "most unimaginably terrible thing" for these people, that's a bit of hyperbole. It's just a generally horrible thing to hear, and unfortunately... with the way the world is these days, I don't know if just pretending they're nothing is always a safe measure. You never know if some crazy git is gonna make good on their threat. This could be me being a bit too heavy on precaution, but, death threats are something that shouldn't be taken lightly that shitbags on the internet are too quick to whip out.Trauma changes you in ways that are not under your control. If I could go back and be the person I used to be at some point and live in a world where being yelled at on the internet for playing a video game is the most unimaginably terrible thing that can happen to you, you think I wouldn't take that?
There is an inherent unfairness to the world regarding this, yes. I wouldn't use that as a reason to not continue to extend empathy to anyone, however, whether you do or not. Empathy of any kind helps.It doesn't change the fact that I have to live with trauma that person doesn't, and it doesn't change the basic unfairness of who does and doesn't receive empathy. Because there is a serious, systematic lack of empathy towards certain groups of people across all of society, and trans and non-binary people are definately up there.
I wouldn't say that it's your job, no. I do feel that at least a surface level amount of empathy should be extended to those that are being unfairly harmed. This does not mean any action has to be taken, just that a feeling of "oh, that's a shame they're going through that" is better than nothing at all. However, a more thorough extension of empathy, be it through personal action or reaching out, I feel is something that can and should be done with more scrutiny.Why is it my job to be nice to someone who, best case scenario, doesn't really care if their actions cause me pain as long as it benefits them, and worse case scenario actually wishes me and everyone like me death because some vtuber deactivated their twitter account?
That's fair enough. I just hope it's not being done with the hope or expectation that people need to or should agree with itAnd yes, I am being an asshole. I am deliberately being my lowest, least charitable self at this point in time. I'm doing it as a deliberate protest, because I don't think the burden of having to be nice or empathetic is being equitably shared.
Yeah. The Rise of wizard Hitler and the quest for the cutesy wizard animals just doesn't work very well. The kinda serious subject of wizard Hitler is a bad playground to go hunting for cute animals. Both topics would be better served by not having to share a space with each other.Let me think... Did you know that Fantastic Beasts is based off of a small book written by Rowling that was just an encyclopedia of magical creatures in the Harry Potter universe, written from the perspective of someone from that universe? I really, REALLY wish they had just had the movie series be about going to far away places in the wizarding world so we could see the interesting creatures and learn of what wizards are like in other cultures rather than the lame plot they went with.
What? You got a promise with me praising GDC for taking a stance against a source of Rowling's transphobic dogma funding?Jesus Christ are you still here? Can somebody call this guy’s mum and tell him he’s up past his bedtime.
Did you join a cult?Blessed be KonradLeijon!
Self assurance mantra to reaffirm what I am saying is woke. There is no cult, just a more positive way of living by excluding transphobic peopleDid you join a cult?
Gaslighting yourself into a cult mentality. Riveting.Self assurance mantra to reaffirm what I am saying is woke. There is no cult, just a more positive way of living by excluding transphobic people
Yeh because we're talking humanity here not alien life forms.All I'm really hearing is that you're not able to view other cultural conceptions of gender without relating them to your fairly narrow, solely internet-based understanding.
Fixed it for you. Rejecting Hogwarts Legacy and the toxic byproducts of Rowling can be good for your mental healthGaslighting yourself into a decent human being
Riveting.
Uh oh!
This is the perfect picture for this story.
We already had this discussion. Not buying a product/buying a product doesn't automatically make you a decent human being. I don't attack innocents, nor those just doing their jobs streaming or reviewing a game. It's their choice; they're allowed to do whatever they want. So long they don't act like jackasses. You are nothing more than a glorified he who fights monsters. Stop hyping yourself up like you're the ultimate virtue. We're done here, and don't bother adding anything else. Don't care what else you have to say.Fixed it for you. Rejecting Hogwarts Legacy and the toxic byproducts of Rowling can be good for your mental health
So you're basing it on your own basic, broad assumptions about "humanity" then, rather than any actual knowledge-- even though humanity as we know it already has quite a few recognised gender identities outside of the binary.Yeh because we're talking humanity here not alien life forms.
Most culture have basically 3 groups
Men, Women, other (yes this is reductive as some have male other and female other....)
I still think they should go back to the Founder’s era and do the miniseries about actually establishing the school.

Canonically wizards would still be shitting themselves around that era though.I still think they should go back to the Founder’s era and do the miniseries about actually establishing the school.
