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

[NoodleFucker3000]

I can't believe they Streisand Effected a game to #1.

So let me get this straight.

Spoiler: goblins

The game initially tells you that goblins are being rebellious and that putting them down is the goal, but then at the end it subverts your expectations and reveals that they were framed by someone who wanted to use them as a scapegoat?

It's also not a shofar. It's a mediaeval hunting horn.

hunting-horn; baldric | British Museum

Savernake Horn; elephant ivory; silver, enamel, leather. The ivory horn cut into sixteen facets; with four silver mounts, a mouth-piece and three bands encircling the horn; silver band around mouth has foliage divided into sixteen compartments each with bird under triple canopy; band divided...

Turns out that horns exist outside of the context of Jewish services and people making them out of actual animal horns were so frequent its literally why the instrument is called a horn in the first place.

They even made them out of elephant tusks.

Also, holy shit, the insane reach to think that because the Goblin rebellion happened in the early 17th century that it was a deliberate reference to violence against Jewish people in the same era. This was the time leading up to the thirty years war for people not in the know, it was one of the most religiously violent times in history and there almost wasn't a year in Europe prior to 1950 when somebody wasn't attacking Jews.

It's tumblr. Everyone there is a girl whether they want to admit it or frantically post IM A BOY IM A BOY FUCK OFF TERVES REEEEEE

It's girls and genderspecial girls who want to be the yaoi.

Unfortunately not anymore. A lot of MtFs flooded in after Musk bought Twitter. These days, whenever I see a retarded take or degeneracy on Tumblr, I go to the OP's blog and sure enough it's a "Sapphic trans woman uwu" who joined in late 2022.

I don't think you have anything to worry about with those two examples, honestly. Not only are they both men, they're both dead, and troons literally don't give a shit about racism, they only care about things that might affect them. Oh, they'll use accusations of racism and other such prejudices to try and recruit normies to their side, as we see with the whole 'the goblins are anti-Semitic' thing here, but don't get it twisted. It's always about THEM. That's why, in this instance, the lead talking point is 'She's contributing to the trans genocide', with the anti-Semitic goblin stuff a distant second, deployed only when the first talking point is failing to gain sufficient traction.

I honestly feel that reason that Rowling became undesirable #1 in their eyes is because of a combination of three specific factors.

J.K. Rowling is:

• Alive.
• Critical of troons.
• A woman.

And I think that last one is the most important of the three.

And successful

Really 1/10 things should signal that they're so astonishingly horrible you can't even get an ironic enjoyment from it even if you get it from the bargin bin or watch the cinematics of it on Youtube.

Even DNF deserved a 3 or so, it was just so overhyped and in development hell so long it was hugely disappointing by the time it arrived.

 

[TheBridgeburner]

Unburied my old tumblr account to check in what these people had to say and I'm genuinely astonished by how many of them are willing to commit mass murder because of a game.
The entire hogwarts legacy tag is a treat.

Another funny coincidence is all of these troons suddenly turning into proper game critics talking about how (aside from the alleged blatant bigotry) the game is seemingly "just pure shit and utter garbage". (How would they know without playing?) Then you visit their blog and all they talk of is the run-of-the-mill goyslop (Last of Us, Rick and Morty, etc.)

The game itself is honestly really fun. Bought it after watching jersh's streams and playing through it with the missus. The gameplay is really nothing to write home about but the level of detail and the immersion it achieves (which should be the goal of an HP game) are stellar.

Lmao. “Why should we?” Is such a based response. It’s such a simple question, but it points out all the flaws in their reasoning. There’s plenty of games with bad and morally flawed developers behind them. Troons only get mad at this one because they know Rowling is a rich woman who’s arguably an icon, and she doesn’t support troons. Absolute gold.

What we're seeing here is a bunch of terminally online people not understanding why certain tactics were adopted by historical activists.

The purpose of a boycott is to inflict economic damage on a target until they cave and stop "doing the thing". They're forced to chose between being financially sustainable or giving up the thing.

This doesn't work with JK Rowling or Warner Bros (of which the game studio is s subsiduary) because even if nobody ever bought a single copy of the game ever, it would not harm them, because Harry Potter is such a profitable IP and already has generated obscene amounts of money. Boycotting or not boycotting the game exerts zero pressure on JK Rowling, and purchasing it does not enable JK Rowling to "spread more transphobic hate" because she can do that for the rest of her life with the money she already has, even if she never received another royalty cheque.

"It will make more people aware of JK Rowling" is also stupid because everyone's already heard of JK Rowling and Harry Potter, and if they hadn't, they'd have heard about her from trans twitter screeching.

Additionally, this game is harmless. There is no transphobic message in this game, it's actually very inclusive, so they can't claim the game spreads a negative message.

So all that's left is "Boycott the game because TERF lady bad", which has no material impact on anything. That's why any materialist argument that comes up is ridiculous - "Playing Harry Potter means terfs will feel more powerful and murder trans people" is stupid because getting a bunch of pixels to cast Wingardium Leveosa is obviously not going to lead to trans murders. "If I see my friend suddenly gets a butterbeer achievement on Steam, I will be immensely triggered and then kill myself" is too abstracted from cause and effect, and also is far too transparently "if you don't do what I say, I will kill myself".

Boycotts that are pointless besides virtue signalling moral purity do not achieve anything, and therefore very few people will engage with them. Besides, as trans twitter likes to very frequently point out - there is no ethical consumption under late capitalism

This article came up for me earlier and while I clicked on it out of sheer curiosity as to how rent-free Hogwarts Legacy has to be for trannies to make this, my attention got dragged around by

60 DOLLARS.

As much as Hogwarts Legacy itself.

I thought this was meant to be some sort of charity bundle designed to retaliate against J.K. Rowling or whatever, but it's so expensive. I could understand it for 69 items, but I've gotten a couple of the other big charity bundles from itch.io and they were both over forty pages of games for only five bucks. And considering how I thought the average tranny was meant to be living off of welfare bucks, how was this the path they took.

All these games look like trash.

 

[LikeRivenIRL]

They hate the English so much, they have to do everything in a bizarre opposite way to the English to prove a point. Englishman acts nonconformist? Must conform. Englishman tell the EU to fuck off? Socialism and unelected bureaucrats are the best thing ever! Englishman won't stick his hand in a grill? Faith an' begorrah, where's me George Foreman?

Irishman: "Fuck you, ye fuckin' brit! Ye'll stand dere and watch me cut me own feckin' nose aff, so ye will!"

Considering Britain is continuing to gift its ass to the EU, and is just as buck-broken by the USA, this is a hard disagree.

And there's more. I did not see a single positive reply, lmao.

That is not only insane but also so damn unprofessional that it's not funny. Quite sad as well.. in a pitiful 5 year old's temper tantrum sort of way.
Wired has been pretty "message over news" for quite a while now. Pro-censorship, pro-woke and everything else you could imagine that comes with it.


Wow.. First time i've had a post used as the basis/target of a featured thread. Thanks.

normies love their harry potter
and if theres one thing theyll always struggle with, is the battle between their ideology and their consumerism

 

[The Jackal]

The game is antisemitic because on that date there was a pogrom. Picking a date and people happening to have hated jews on that date then is like jumping out of a boat and landing on water.

The anti-Semitic stuff is SUCH BULLSHIT man. They don't care about that at all, they just realize that no normal person thinks Rowling is preaching genocide and they're scrambling for reasons to boycott the game.

If you read the article on the left, you can see the pogrom actually happened in 1614, not 1612. And if the goblins are supposed to represent Jews, how does it make sense that the game developers would choose the date of the 'Goblin Rebellion' to coincide with an episode of anti-Jewish mob violence? Besides, this kind of thing happened all the fucking time in Europe from the Middle Ages into the 20th century, it's not like this is some special date, it's just a coincidence.

Here's another random event that happened in 1612:

You could make an argument that goblins are supposed to represent Russians and it would make exactly as much sense. Actually it would make more sense because the rebellion they're citing didn't involve Jews.

As for the horn - you see horns all the time in fantasy/historical settings:



Are these all supposed to be Jewish too? It's just such a weak, desperate conspiracy theory to try and make this completely innocent game about a fucking wizard school seem like Nazi propaganda, and everyone can see through it. It's so hilarious.

I wasn't even going to dignify that with a serious response, but now that you bring it up, I have to point out it doesn't even look like fucking shofar.



Shofar's this odd twisted thing, while goblin horn is just a regular horn.

 

[snort beg snort]

Funniest part is that this game looks like boring dog shit. Another bloated open world experience with the same tired combat aimed at dent heads who will buy anything with their favorite IP attached to it.

No battle, here. I like Harry Potter, and also think that men shouldn't housed be in Women's Crisis Centers. Life is easy.

Exactly. IIRC the shofar is a ram's horn, that's why it has this distinctive corkscrew shape. Nothing like the goblin horn.

This actually reminds me of something I was thinking about last year, when there was that shooting at the gay club and, of course, the troons managed to make it all about them using the fact they've somehow managed to squirm their way under the LGBTQWTFBBQ umbrella.

The fact that this particular shooting took place on Trans Day of Remembrance, something only terminally online Reddit tier genderdorks care about, meant it was totally a transphobic hate crime and not just a homophobic sped shooting up a gay club because he himself was a closet homo who hated faggots.

This is a bit tinfoil-y, admittedly, but it made me wonder if this is one of the reasons why there are so many 'trans days'. You have Trans Day of Remembrance, obviously, but also Trans Visibility Week or whatever, Pride Month is basically just Tranuary at this point. If something bad happens on one of these days, the troons can all go online and shriek, "I can't BELIEVE this happened on THE FIRST DAY OF GENDERFLUIDITY VALIDATION WEEK!!" or whatever.

It seems like they're trying it here, as well, just subbing in 'Jews' for 'trans', because as we've established, people aren't really buying the 'J.K. Rowling is a TERF' thing any more.

(How would they know without playing?) Then you visit their blog and all they talk of is the run-of-the-mill goyslop (Last of Us, Rick and Morty, etc.)

Notice how they keep trying to make this about Jews, with almost no actual Jews who aren't also troons going all in on that clearly bogus issue? It's like they know people hate troons so they have to try to drag Jews into it because Jews are less unpopular.

Exactly. IIRC the shofar is a ram's horn, that's why it has this distinctive corkscrew shape. Nothing like the goblin horn.

So yet another complaint that is nothing but tranny nonsense.
