Do you feel the same about boycotting Tesla?
Tesla has a ceo that is arguably evil, his companies flaunt labour laws and he is actively trying to make the world a worse place through multiple means.
The HP writer makes mean tweets and complains women use her bathroom.
Both are bad people, but not even remotely at the same level.

I loved shadow of mordor/war, and always wondered why they didn't make another. However I also guess better to go out early before it's done to death
I liked SoM but War felt like a worse dlc

If you respected the rules it wouldn't have to be moderated.
Calling Rowling a terf is OK (you are stating the obvious in such case), telling another user to fuck off, or for specific group of people to die isn't.
Ah, "rules" that can't be really learned from because you removed the comment from even my own comment history. You're obviously insinuating something with that last sentence but, frankly, i can't recall what i wrote at the moment.
These people LITERALLY want to dehuman and take rights from trans folk, but i'm required to tolerate that without calling them names?
and before any miserable "bothsides" fuck cries "you're doing the same". i didn't start this shit. i'm not taking womens rights away. i'm not also trying to ship people off to foreign prisons.
make nazis dead again.

ah yes, the singular other mod that hasn't made a comment in 2 years???
I was wondering if he was still here and sent him a message not long ago. Turn out he is, and just mostly lurks those days. Which meansv that I'm alone doing the moderation most of the time, but that also mean that you can try. What do you have to loose? Time? Looking how much you posted on this thread you seem to have plenty of it, so why not try?
and how can any of them disagree with you? do any of you even have the ability to review the comments?
They do, and there were time we disagreed on some mod action. In such case we talk about it together, an try to reach a concensus. That's how some of our rules exception came to be.
If you can't handle calling out bigotry then you're on the side of the bigots. you stance enables the bigots. civilty can only exist when the bigots are dead.
Ah. The good old false dilemma fallacy. Either I'm with you or against you. Did you ever consider that others have their own way to fight those idiots without having to resort to screams, rage and oversimplification?
This community was founded to provide a place were people can talk about games in a constructive way. If you wish to have a community of your own where you can do as you wish, be my guest, and go create it.you're the kind of person that quietly watches as they come for everyone else because "im fighting in my own way".
you're not fighting for anything but quiet on your shitty little board. there can be nothing constructive as long as nazi idealogy is permitted to dehumanize people.

You're supposed to be able to figure it out yourself. People wouldn't have to tell you these things if you were smarter.
Shut up lmao

Hmm on the one hand is kicking trans people down the stairs and on the other hand is having enough self discipline to not consume a single franchise. Yeah you are right, this is a tough choice!
lmao, personal sacrifice my assHyperbole and bad faith arguing is not compelling anyone to support your cause or your point of view

it means nothing besides them trying to profit from the nostalgia ridden queers. again, yall could support actual queer works instead of work with a thin veneer of it.
I am aware the motives behind it are profit driven. But that doesn't make the message less valuable. People seeing themselves represented is helpful to them, and it normalizes them for other people.

you are wrong . She is not just making mean tweets, she is doing very real damage to queer people and women irl.

Literally hundreds of games, movies and books out there not made by a monster leading the anti trans movement but you're still unwilling to give up on one video game to show support for trans people. They are absolutely right about you, nothing hyperbolic about what they said.

kicking trans people down the stairs
This level of hyperbole makes you sound like the MAGA crowd, dude

It's genuinely baffling watching WB just make like, every wrong decision. Their business is losing money and every time a project that receives praise or interest is announced/released that is nearly guaranteed to make them lots of money.They just don't go through with it. Or they do some work on it then can it.
It's like, even out of touch executives at other large companies have enough feelers to find out generally what people are enjoying. Then with all their money they throw something in that general direction and something eventually sticks.
With WB though it's like, nothing is working. The things that do stick don't make as much as they thought. And the things that they don't think will make money do make money, often more than they thought... And then they just always find a way to either piss off everyone, sour and sabotage the future projects, or just don't do anything with it.
It's just so fucking weird. Like I don't even enjoy or partake in most of the stuff WB puts out. But sitting on the sidelines and just watching it all unfold makes me question what drugs the leaders at the company are on...
You could replace every mention of "WB" in there with "Bungie" and it would still be true

oh boy! they see themselves in games while they're literally getting depersoned by the politics of the creator! in a time where we are literally seeing what such wealth is able to enable you to do... literally buy the white house.
you can't see the forest for the trees.

Again, she is not the creator and has nothing to do with the game other than the creators purchased the rights to the setting.

You're right, both sides aren't the same. One side has devolved into foregoing what we like to think of as humanity because they have a boner for hate and the other makes excuses on why degrading themselves to the same level isn't the same.
It's a play on words. I'll skip the nuances and get right down to the core, "they started murdering people, so I'm murdering them back". But here's the thing, killing is still killing, even in self-defense.
No matter how many justifications, running away from this concept only serves to bring you ever closer to the mentality of the other side.The very simplified "both sides" is alluding to the idea that both are very much willing to give up empathy, ethics and law if it means getting rid of the opposite side.
The selective application of these three concepts is what bridges you together in a way that makes an outside observer say "so similar, they might as well be the same" a.k.a. "both sides".No exception to empathy, no exception to ethics, no exception to law, no matter how saintly and no matter how evil.

Again, she is not the creator and has nothing to do with the game other than the creators purchased the rights to the setting.
she makes money from the brand getting attention because she is the creator of the setting. no one gives a shit about this game without the setting.
you are excusing enabling terfs and fascism because you have no ability to think beyond your own nose. but please make more excuses and lie to yourself more.

so you advocate rolling over and letting literal genocides occur because killing is bad. that's what your logic naturally leads to.
trolley problem is all about this shit. and your stance is that millions can get ran over by the trolley as long as you don't have to pull the handle to decide. because of your cowardice.

I'm advocating that you stop making excuses for yourself.

I haven't played the game nor do I want to. What I said is still true nonetheless. If you want to convince someone to boycott a piece of media, being a presumptuous dickhead is the exact opposite way you accomplish that.
