Concerning "Hogwarts Legacy" and JK Rowling
After continued internal discussion, we began to start outlining the issues put forth by Rowling and the game in question and each time, and as we discussed it all, we kept coming back to the simple fact that Rowling is not only a bigot but is actively pushing, in her position as a wealthy and...

Somewhat sweetsour. I do agree with this ban but on the other hand cyberpunk was treated differently. I would hope that from now on it's gonna be always like this and it isn't based on how big a game is. Like if the same thing happened with something like GTA would the mods also ban all the discussion? I want to believe that they would.
I can't wrap my head around the idea that giving someone else rights somehow takes rights away from you.
I find Christian's like my mother are pretty supportive too,the ones that reject denomination and evangelical and prosperity gospel shit, and actually believe being a Christian means trying to be like Jesus and live by his rules, one being that the downtrodden and disrespected deserve love too like he did in the Bible.
I mean a lot of it is delibrate hyperbole to make the dumb masses frightened: "When people can change their gender marker more easily, scary transvestites will come into your house and eat the flesh from your bones and your family while you're still alive!!!"
To be fair, my fundie mother legit believed she was being like Jesus, denouncing what she saw as irresponsible "love gospel" and "sloppy agape" interpretations, instead emphasizing god's judgment and all that. (Loved to harp on him whipping the money changers and quoting all of Christ's alleged references to hell and damnation; i.e., "where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched," etc.) The Bible is all-too-slippery of a document that can mean anything its reader wants it to mean, and that's the trouble I have with it.
But I forget the verse but he also tells his followers not to judge only god can and those who do deign to judge others will be judged accordingly by god. One of my mothers golden rules, along with the golden rule as well. And I find it funny with the moneylenders at the temple because American evangelicals are pretty much the moneylenders at the temple.

Unsurprisingly, my mom had a ready answer for the thing about judgment: she'd say, "Jesus isn't saying that we shouldn't be judgmental. What he's saying there is that we shouldn't use our own judgment about things. For example, scripture says that homosexuality/queerness is a sin. As long as we follow God's judgment on things like that, instead of our own, he wants us to be judgmental about it."
As someone who has been on/off a member of the pagan community for a little over 20 years while this can often be the case, it's not always the case.
Yeah, the "older person not understanding what they do when they click on that like button" reminds that that's exactly what some of us said the first time JKR liked a transphobic tweet ages ago, so needless to say I'm not feeling super confident on this.
This is exactly it, it's not tied to any specific thing, it's hateful people using whatever venue they have to promote and validate their hate to encourage others to do so.
I don't really see how Mark cutting her out would affect his career.

Yet more weak-sauce from Keith.
Labour must discuss gender with ‘respect’, says Keir Starmer
Rosie Duffield had said she felt ostracised by the party because of her views on gender reforms
In Mark's defense, he has also just straight up tweeted his support over the years
I'm in general agreement with this and some comments made by deimosmasque and PlanetSmasher. Trash people will always find a way to justify being trash, even if it means dragging down an entire belief system or non-belief system with them. A darn shame transphobia seems to be yet another terrible thing the religious and non-religious can find common cause on. Bigots just have a knack for arranging any societal framework to put others down.

I must be a cold, heartless asshole....and/or maybe it is why I have few friends...but who gives two shits if you've known someone for 3 months or 30 years. I can't stand the age of a relationship being used as an excuse. I dropped my best friend (since 2nd grade) after I found out they were a terrible person and they proved they weren't going to make any effort to change for the better. I was his best man at his wedding for fucks sake. But you're completely right when you say these rich celebs live in their own worlds so I really shouldn't compare.Patton Oswalt defends his longtime friendship with Dave Chappelle | CNN
Patton Oswalt shared a heartfelt letter on social media explaining his longtime friendship with fellow comic Dave Chappelle as controversy over Chappelle's jokes about trans people in his last Netflix special has continued.
I think ultimately though we shouldn't be surprised at rich celebrities hanging out together, they live in an entirely different world.
Do w know anything about the person holding the decapitate sign?Rowling appears to be going off on twitter regarding this photo
