I guess to me their use of the word problematic is problematic. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯problematic = "things I don't like"

Don't try to understand pothead progressives. It's useless. Years of drug use destroyed them from within.Not a single person has done more to promote childhood literacy in the world. Her work has brought immeasurable joy to so many children.
How selfish would someone have to be to try to take that away because they disagree with one of her opinions?

Well the thing is you can’t combine the lbgt community as one unified group . these very small minority YouTubers and twitch people do not speak for everyone they claim to represent. That’s why you see the term “ blue haired “ it’s like an “ alt right “ symbolism. There are many lbgt people who are not raving lunatics.Wow the comments are off the chain. Don’t they live in Mississippi or Alabama, two of the least progressive states? If so, very brave.
I just don’t understand the level of anger they have for her, for simply stating a scientific fact, correct?
I feel like alot of the LGBT community really looked up to her for being a successful feminist author/movie producer and when asked a question (why was this question asked in the first place) she responded. It’s like a kid meeting his favorite action star in reality and leaves very disappointed lol
It’s two fold I think. Part people growing tired of his anti capitalism schtick and the drastic change in appearance. Competition in that space is pretty fierce and is always changing. As Jim Sterling fades other channels like Skill Up grow.Oh wow, that's quite the decline, I wonder if people got tired of his shtick?
I think a lot of people around here have trouble making that distinction. Anyone who doesn't actively misgender trans people or label them mentally ill must be a screaming lunatic activist out to destroy our way of life.Well the thing is you can’t combine the lbgt community as one unified group . these very small minority YouTubers and twitch people do not speak for everyone they claim to represent.

Out of interest, what does Rowling know very little about, that she then talks with authority on.I think Rowling is an idiot with a platform who likes to talk with authority about things she knows little about, but the whole drama around this game is crazy.
Yes because now words are actual violence, seriously, I submit to you the world has lost it's fu@$ing mind."Real world harm"™
I agree with you. There's a massive difference between disagreeing about issues, and outright advocating for physical violence (at least that's how I interpreted it).I hate to be harsh, but I'm glad this guy is gone.
There is something about him that rubbed me the wrong way.
I think if mods gave him a bit longer we might have got a live thread though XD
Its a real issue. Just because i think the people at era are facsist nut jobs doesnt mean im a biggot. But the extremists on both sites will either call you a nazi or an sjw for not agreeing with their views 100 percent.I think a lot of people around here have trouble making that distinction. Anyone who doesn't actively misgender trans people or label them mentally ill must be a screaming lunatic activist out to destroy our way of life.
Likewise, on Era, they'll act like anyone who listens to Joe Rogan occasionally must be a toxic male neo-nazi rapist school shooter.
And because of that, half of them are acting more out of contrarianism lining up on the far opposite of what they see as "pure evil" than they are expressing any kind of coherent affirmative ideology. It's a huge problem. I don't know how you fix that.
I actually watched that and it was kind of funny. She might be a little bit more wound up on this topic than I had figured, LOL I don't actually follow her. That one group the vid said she supports has been found legally responsible for organizing violent acts of hatred, so, that's not so good (though I don't really know if it is accurate or not). But it still doesn't have much to do about a HP video game.
It's possible that in response to what she perceived were attacks against her that she has made some allies that are radicalizing her in the some way.
You fix it by leaving the internet subculture bubble and interacting with people who have different worldviews in real life, where your faculties for empathy and socialization function properly and you can’t press a button on an app to make them instantly disappear.I think a lot of people around here have trouble making that distinction.

As an individual, sure, but I mean I don't know how you reverse the broad cultural trend. It only gets easier and easier to retreat into self-selecting online echo chambers.You fix it by leaving the internet subculture bubble and interacting with people who have different worldviews in real life, where your faculties for empathy and socialization function properly and you can’t press a button on an app to make them instantly disappear.

In theory...but how are you expected to have a civil discourse with a person who says their gender changes by the hour, and that everyone else must not only acknowledge it, but accept it as a reality all while navigating the ever-changing and evolving minefield of "micro aggressions" and being told that you can't understand because of some perceived privilege, (which is the reason, ironically, given for ignoring "my truth" and stance)?You fix it by leaving the internet subculture bubble and interacting with people who have different worldviews in real life, where your faculties for empathy and socialization function properly and you can’t press a button on an app to make them instantly disappear.
Case in point.In theory...but how are you expected to have a civil discourse with a person who says their gender changes by the hour, and that everyone else must not only acknowledge it, but accept it as a reality all while navigating the ever-changing and evolving minefield of "micro aggressions" and being told that you can't understand because of some perceived privilege, (which is the reason, ironically, given for ignoring "my truth" and stance)?
The vast, Vast, VAST majority of people couldn't be bothered with this nonsense, but we are still being told that we have to buy into the new science and ignore the evidence of, not only our own eyes, but billions of years of evolution. There is no conversation there. The extremists on both sides will not be swayed.
Funny thing about pronouns, is nobody uses them in every day interactions with other people, they only tend to get used when discussing someone, or as in this case, in an argument.... Strange there is so much fuss forcing people to use something, they will rarely ever use in normal day to day life.
(yeah I know these aren't correct pronouns in this case but whatever)
Perfect! Don't address the points, just dismiss...my case in point.Case in point.
Where the hell are you getting this asinine assumption? Most other trans and Non-binary folk I know in relationships are in relationships with LGBTQIA people to begin with, with a sizable portion of them having non-cis partners. Why wouldn’t you date that which most understands you? Look at any random queer community or circle, especially with the younger LGBTQIA adult crowd. Most trans folk in relationships don’t have cis partners.
Makes perfect sense too. The truth is that too many cis people just don’t “get it”, so why bother with people that don’t get you?
This is one of the most common repeated misconceptions and all it does is perpetuate some weird, inherently flawed, expectation that says more about the person asking it more than anything else.
Grown ass adult talking to an 8 year old. "Grow up Timmy. It's only words. Just ignore them and dont get into fights at recess. If he hits you go to the principal's office"Yes because now words are actual violence, seriously, I submit to you the world has lost it's fu@$ing mind.
If someone IRL told me “hey these are the pronouns I like to use for myself” then I would gladly do so. I just don’t think that telling someone your pronouns along with your name is like the new default way for everyone to interact with each other. The vast majority of people dress and present themselves in a way that clearly advertises their gender and don’t want to have to explicitly tell people.Funny thing about pronouns, is nobody uses them in every day interactions with other people, they only tend to get used when discussing someone, or as in this case, in an argument....

Debate would help out both sides, what are these places afraid of?
Yup.Partly because they're emotionally stunted people who argue with feelings as opposed to logic and reason. Partly because they know they don't have a leg to stand on. They don't care about ideals or helping people, they care about enjoying the unyielding power of social media and political correctness, and about having reasons to vent their innate dislike of human beings. That's why the moment you point at fallacies in their beliefs, they retaliate with pure aggression.
Do you want odds on how true that is?
I'm betting it's false on two counts. Firstly her level of support or endorsement of whatever group they’re referring to and also the allegation against the group.
Absolutely, everything about the video could be fake, out of context, or otherwise distorted, that's true. I watched it right after my post #839 and realized how unfamiliar with the situation I really am. Made me think she might have tweeted a lot of stuff I had not seen, I don't really follow her twitter.
But, even if she is a little out there, she has the right to her opinions the same as anybody else.
uh-huh... & which 'wrongs' are those, exactly?...Yeah, let's harm the games developers who poured their heart and soul into the game - and even tried to right some of JK Rowlings wrongs themselves.
What a hero this "reviewer" is.

Yeah, the YT and Instagram algorithyms are crazy. If you don't willingly search for different opinions you will only get feeded the same shit for all enternity. No wonder the world is split into extremes. shit is outright scary.As an individual, sure, but I mean I don't know how you reverse the broad cultural trend.

I get where they're coming from, she's transphobe who uses her money to prevent people from getting basic healthcare for doing whatever they want with their bodies and probably sides with an ideology that at best hindered a lot of people's lives, of course she deserves criticism and disdain. Just because you liked the art she made doesn't take away the fact that she's a dick, Ren and Stimpy was a funny show that influenced a generation of artists and helped the animation industry to move forwards, but that doesn't excuse John K. being a teen rapist. Would you forgive the Nazis just because they campaigned against smoking? It's very hiperbolic but you get the idea.Not a single person has done more to promote childhood literacy in the world.

By far the best video covering Rowling vs her attackers that I've seen. Extremely well-researched and astutely, level-headedly observed-
Yep, and Zepla isn’t having any of it. Her rant is on point. She normally sticks to being chill and geeking out over FFXIV, but the gloves came off.One of the biggest FFXIV streamers streamed the game and enjoyed it (the horror), and now people are calling her a transphobe

I dunno I think this is a bit more nuanced than you’re saying here. Where did she donate to preventing basic healthcare for trans people? Or do you mean she donated to stop them from being able to transition? Was that her goal in donating? How much money did she donate? Where are the clear, objective receipts for this and what cause/effect to back up the claim that she’s actually actively putting money towards preventing health care towards trans people in some malicious attempt to hurt them? I guess I just feel it’s a bit reductive to completely whittle it down to - well she donated to this (without showing the concrete evidence of what/why etc) so that defines her completely and overshadows any perceived good qualities or even objectively good things she’s actively helped along by donating to or through other means. I dunno it just feels a little oversimplified morallyI get where they're coming from, she's transphobe who uses her money to prevent people from getting basic healthcare for doing whatever they want with their bodies and probably sides with an ideology that at best hindered a lot of people's lives, of course she deserves criticism and disdain.

Bullying a streamer for enjoying it isn't the best way to protest though, I don't have double standards so I'm also willing to call out toxicity.
No she isn't.I get where they're coming from, she's transphobe
No she hasn't.who uses her money to prevent people from getting basic healthcare for doing whatever they want with their bodies and probably sides with an ideology that at best hindered a lot of people's lives,
She does, for things she *actually* did that deserve criticism and disdain.of course she deserves criticism and disdain.
Explain, in words and with data *how* she is a dick. I am not a huge fan of her and disagree with her on quite a few things, but that isn't an emotionally charged diatribe like what you have shown here.Just because you liked the art she made doesn't take away the fact that she's a dick
Yes, compare someone who supports Trans individuals, but still believes in basic biological science and wanting separate safe groups for biological women as being the same as a literal rapist and HITLER., Ren and Stimpy was a funny show that influenced a generation of artists and helped the animation industry to move forwards, but that doesn't excuse John K. being a teen rapist.

The emotional manipulation reached peak stupid with this ongoing harassment campaign, and I’m glad there a massive pushback.
