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

teriyakiburns said:
What they suffer from is a childish mode of thought, in which demanding or declaring things as true will make them true. It's most common amongst children, obviously, but also amongst the poorly educated and people with low intelligence, who can't understand causality in some manner, or who believe that their personal thoughts have a direct effect on the rest of the world. In troons, it's likely a sign of mental regression, either as a psychological response to reality refusing to conform to their demands, or mental problems induced by their lifestyles. Ironically enough, it is often referred to as "magical thinking".

Basically, do not ascribe to malice what can be ascribed to retardation.

I have no idea what that ugly ass fucking thing is even supposed to look like. Looks like a giant melted a bunch of Transformers and ate them then shat it out.

Supposedly it's supposed to look like a smashed electric guitar:
Wikipedia said:
Even before groundbreaking, the Seattle Weekly said the design could refer to "the often quoted comparison to a smashed electric guitar." Gehry himself had in fact made the comparison: "We started collecting pictures of Stratocasters, bringing in guitar bodies, drawing on those shapes in developing our ideas."

That effeminate voice and terrified way they are carrying about themselves, like they are about cry, makes me grin a little. It's just icing on the cake and pretty telling.

The Museum of Pop Culture is a terrible museum as one would guess by its name and architecture:

The only good museum in Seattle is the Museum of Flight.

It looks like one of those images that’s supposed to simulate what you see when you have a stroke.

IIRC they said they already began working on one due to the huge haul of money the first one brought in. If they're using the same engine and team that could come surprisingly soon. I look forward to the 2nd round of anger and fighting it will bring.

Many of the replies seem to believe this indicates that the game was an absolute failure. Much celebrating about the W over the BITCH. Also suggestions that the "outrage" was manufactured by the studio, right-wingers, etc. rather than troons. Not much interest on the fact that the story is based on a single Reddit comment.

I went and checked SteamDB to verify that "50% more active players" claim, and as of my writing there's 6,086 players in Hogwarts Legacy vs. 9,515 in Civilization V. So yea, there's more players in a neat 4X strategy game known for being hugely replayable and moddable. I think that speaks more to the evergreen nature of Civilization rather than Hogwarts being bad or anything. And I would say six thousand in a single-player game with no further content other than what was present at launch at this point in time is actually pretty good, it's not like it's a multiplayer MMO or something that drip-feeds content over time to retain players. You pay for it once and it's done.
