Diseased Rowling Derangement Syndrome - "TERF/Woke Author Bad!!1"

[TheOtherOne]

Long post, feel free to skip if you want, it's just a lot of my thoughts on this insanity. I've seen Kevin's videos before and liked them (stopped a while back), so I have no idea why he chose to do this.

CallMeKevin, the Irish YouTuber who dared take WarnerBros money and early-streamed Hogwarts Legacy has left a long, cuckolded, embarrassing statement about the entire affair on his subreddit. I skimmed it to be honest, I have little patience for this much sperging, so if anyone spots any gems let me know.

Spoiler: Almost 1,000 words apologising to these Dementors - for those who don't want to open Reddit (don't blame you)

Hey everyone,

I wanted to address the recent Harry Potter video that I posted on the channel. I've seen the feedback and first of all I'm very sorry for any hurt I've caused any and all of you. I make videos to try and give you a little entertainment and in no way want to be putting out something that causes pain or harm in any way.

Aside from apologizing for any hurt I've caused you I wanted to explain a little bit from my side why I posted the video in the first place. Just to explain how I feel a lot of us were on different pages.

I'm not sure how this whole thing was covered in other countries but as someone who does not use social media this boycott was pretty much invisible. I'm surprised that I've not heard any discussion within my recent streams or on my comment section given the scale of it but as an "offline" person who does not use social media it just wasn't a visible campaign.

I had heard in the past about Rowling making hateful comments on Twitter but aside from everyone being in mutual agreement that she seemed like a shitty person that's as far as my knowledge on this whole situation goes. I had also heard of there being a boycott of some kind on the game but honestly assumed this was not a big thing, every other day I hear of someone/something being a problem and I just don't engage with that news.

When it comes to boycotts in a general sense I would disagree that buying something is endorsing the view of everyone involved. I also had heard early in development that Rowling (much like the recent special) was not involved in this whatsoever so I didn't see the issue at all on a surface level.

I also wanted to address the comment section. First of all, to clarify I fully support you giving any feedback and opinions regarding all this.

Second of all, there are a lot of different "bubbles" in my community. There was a lot of people commenting coming from a similar place as me and I'd guess a lot have likely never even heard about this whole situation. My audience has a lot of people who are very casual internet users.

Lastly, this video brought in a lot of people from outside my audience and there is hate that comes with that. Whenever a video reaches an outside audience it brings more hate than I'd normally recieve. It could be as simple as they hate my humour, or they hate my voice but that's just how it is when your video is pushed to people that it normally is not pushed to. Unfortunately this hate was amplified by the situation, especially given people will click just because of the controversy around the game and I will be disabling comments to just shut that hate down. I've already seen people saying that a lot of comments were being made by bots or trolls with the same copy pastes. To be 100% clear, I do not support anyone attacking you for who you are as a person and I'd wager neither does 99% of this community who from my experience have been the most kind and supportive group of people.

From everything I've read after posting, I get why someone wouldn't want to give her financial support. I also get why someone would buy the game and not feel that it is supporting or endorsing Rowling directly and I can also see how people can be unaware of the situation entirely never even hearing the words Harry Potter and Boycott side by side.

Needless to say I won't be posting any more of the game, I don't want to be putting more hate and hurt out into the world when god knows there's enough of that already. I got nothing but love for all of you and just want to provide some mildly entertaining videos and a nice community for everyone to have a good time and escape for while. I'm sorry for any hurt I've caused you, I have felt terrible knowing I've hurt a group that have been nothing but nice to me.

I read the last line, he's refusing to play anymore Hogwarts Legacy.

"I'm not sure how this whole thing was covered in other countries but as someone who does not use social media this boycott was pretty much invisible."

Almost nobody cared, Kevin. Aside from the usual "well JK was always a (insert "protected class")-phobe/hater" people nobody gave a damn.

"...aside from everyone being in mutual agreement that she seemed like a shitty person that's as far as my knowledge on this whole situation goes."

contradicts

"...as an 'offline' person who does not use social media..."

Kevin, what social media are you on besides YouTube? If he's on Twitter I'm not even surprised he'd think that Rowling is somehow equivalent to the devil for being majority liberal aside from "transgenders are a problem if they do this."

"My audience has a lot of people who are very casual internet users."

If they're just like you then they wouldn't have heard of this either, Kevin, and so your argument makes no sense.

"I've already seen people saying that a lot of comments were being made by bots or trolls with the same copy pastes."

Really? Just "IT WAS THE BOTS/TROLLS ALL ALONG!!!" is not an excuse to cave.

"I do not support anyone attacking you for who you are as a person..."

Correction, you don't support anyone attacking others unless the attackers support transgenders, apparently. When did it suddenly become not okay to say "well I just don't like them pushing their ideals in front of my face"?

"I'd wager neither does 99% of this community who from my experience have been the most kind and supportive group of people."

And "99% of this community" doesn't have anyone who says "well, I think Rowling's right" and agrees with her? I have more to say about the "most kind and supportive group of people," but for now I'll just say it's a parasocial relationship that should not exist.

"...I don't want to be putting more hate and hurt out into the world when god knows there's enough of that already."

Okay, Kevin is definitely lying when he says he's an "offline" person.

"...just want to provide some mildly entertaining videos..."

Why are you caving then? Isn't this your job or at least brings in a lot of money? Sacrificing "playing popular game for money" over "well I want to appease the loud people" is not a good decision.

"...and a nice community for everyone to have a good time and escape for while."

So a "safe space." You want to appease the "very casual internet users," in your own words, and make a "safe space." Maybe make a safe space for people who are being attacked for supporting Rowling instead if you care that much.

"I'm sorry for any hurt I've caused you... I've hurt a group that have been nothing but nice to me."

aka "I need money so don't unsubscribe and don't cancel me please!"

There is no way his community is "the most kind and supportive group of people" when you can see in the Reddit (liberal as it may be) thread alone that:

"In England and trans and a 'political activist'" Reddit user. Can't get any more liberal than that.

Pink: "I totally know a lot about it because I'm part of the mentally insane group."
Orange: That's just an outright lie. Also citing the video comments that are probably full of people going "I don't care about your kinks or views, just let him play the game" as "slurs" and "hate speech" and "harassment" of a "very vulnerable minority."
Yellow: Reading comments on some content creator's video is not going to make someone want to kill themselves.

I agree with this comment, not much else to say.

"Calm down, no need to get angry right now" as they type up a response saying "W-Well the comments were full of hate, and our (probably full of transgenders) Discord hated the video, bigot!" It's less likely the video brought in "transphobes" and more likely the video brought in regular people who didn't care about your agenda.

Somehow every sane comment keeps getting downvoted... I wonder why...

And these sane comments were deleted by mods. There's definitely an agenda going around.

Here's some Reddit comments close to my beliefs:

This is just stupid. If you play the game, I don't care who you are. If you don't play the game, I don't care who you are. I think the game looks alright, and that's pretty much it.

Something to bear in mind about this screeching. It's not happening in a vacuum. In the UK in particular now we've had;

Mermaids being found to have a pedo apologist on their board of trustees
Susie Green stepping down from that same charity while it's under investigation by the Charity Commission
The Tavistock closing amidst a flood of controversy
The NHS getting caught using Mermaids for training for the Tavistock's replacements and having to cut that out
As well as the current awkwardness the SNP is having where they are having to back down on sending a trans women convicted of rape to a female prison

A lot of this stuff is not about the Potter game, it's just one more block off the tower when things are looking very wobbly.

TERF GANG STAY WINNING.

I hope that this serves as a lesson to humanity at large and the corporate world that they don't have to continuously cater to the bipolar whims of an extremely minuscule, extremely mentally ill segment of society. Twitter opinions don't reflect reality, and they can do just fine without the rounding error that give a fuck about this.

Take heart; you're not alone, even if it feels like it sometimes.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Has anyone else seen some troons, and handmaidens start to try to excuse, or save face over this whole debacle by saying bullshit like "It's not real transpeople doing all this..! They're not crazy enough to think anything as silly a videogame would be actually harmful..!"

You know, completely ignoring the fact that anyone who willingly lops off their dick, or tits is crazy enough to actually believe that.

 

[LikeRivenIRL]

Dammit Kevin.
I used to like his stuff. He's gonna have to torture a LOT of Sims to make up for being this much of a pussy.

Kevin's a fucking liar and a cuck and deserved to be fed to the Saxons.

 

[Miriam Margoyles]

Why are the Irish people always the most conformist? Hell, I see more British people acting out of line than them. What makes them such sheep?

 

[skol]

Sometimes I feel pity for those retards.
> I loved something as a kid
> But now medias say I shouldn’t, so I don’t anymore
How much longer a typical normie will castrate their enjoyment of life for the sake of fitting in?

honestly, I've seen a lot of the spoiler, even in discord servers I'm in, and for just a moment I considered saving the names and spoiling them on some other game. But I'm very lazy and have no fucking idea what kind of game these people even like

Power games, where they can change the rules whenever they feel like it and always have you off your guard and walking on eggshells as a result.

 

[InsulindianPhasmid]

I genuinely thought it was, it sounds robotic and broken. They obviously just pitched down a female voice.
It's also funny how in many other languages, such as Japanese, its a genuine female voice, hehe.

Nope. The voice actor is a transwoman called Rebecca Root. It’s his real voice and I think the likeness is based on him also.

 

[Professor Gaylord]

CallMeKevin panders to the queers and troons in his videos, so it isn't suprising to hear that he cucked to the trans crowd.

 

[1440p Curved Monitor]

I’m gonna be honest, I was looking forward to this day for all of the troon spergery, and I am not disappointed in the least. Something about watching mentally ill people on the internet screaming with tears rolling down their cheeks as they slam their fists on the computer desk just fills my heart with joy and my mind with amusement. Happy Hogwarts day, my fellow Kiwis!

The developments from today and the past few days are the exact reasons why I spent hours making the OP a month ago. I knew that there was going to be a boatload of milk the minute this game drops and that the farms needed a place to catalogue it. You have absolutely no idea how happy I am to see this come to fruition. It is so much better than I thought it was going to be, and the fact that the game is actually good makes it all the more sweeter.

 

[Roland TB-303]

Nope. The voice actor is a transwoman called Rebecca Root. It’s his real voice and I think the likeness is based on him also.

Hahahahahahaha it’s so obviously a dude’s voice skinned as a female. It’s a metaphor for these freaks in real life. Hahahahaha they can’t help losing even when people try to be nice to them hahahaha.

 

[AnOminous]

Lol @ the troon faggot calling JK Joanne as if that has any weight to it that's like when Obama was president and to sour grapes it they'd add and put extra sauce on his middle name Barack HUUUUUUSSEINNNNNN Obama. OOOO sick burn fucking troons calling her by her first name like you're some smart mark calling CM Punk Phil Brooks.

Being troons, they assume everyone else also commits suicide if you call them by their real name.

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

So have gotten to the point where JK has taken over David Irvings spot as the most vile English writer of the last century?

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

Even KnowYourMeme is getting on the HL trend

 

[Miriam Margoyles]

The voice actor is a transwoman called Rebecca Root. It’s his real voice and I think the likeness is based on him also.

Huge caveman skull, massive Chad jaw, crazy eyes, autogynesmile. Standard.

It's the name I can't get over. I know trannies usually pick stupid names for themselves, but if you were a troon would you REALLY want to be called 'Rebecca Root'?

What was his next choice? 'Penelope Penis'?

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

Being troons, they assume everyone else also commits suicide if you call them by their real name.

See for me and all my years of IWC shenanery real names are just something smart marks use to sound edgy. Now calling a wrestler by a previous gimmick name that's the one that'll make em' commit suicide look at Benoit I bet someone called him Pegasus Kid the day before he killed his wife, kid and then himself.

We're a vassal state of the US, we're just doing what our masters want.
