Hmm on the one hand is kicking trans people down the stairs and on the other hand is having enough self discipline to not consume a single franchise. Yeah you are right, this is a tough choice! lmao, personal sacrifice my ass
This level of hyperbole makes you sound like the MAGA crowd, dude
Hyperbole is when person asks you to not play one single video game to show support for trans people when you can easily play anything else instead. How dare they, so mean. Exactly like the fascists who support MAGA 🙄
Wow, that comment makes you look fucking dumb, not knowing what hyperbole means
Except the hyperbole in this case is comparing someone who has played "one single video game" as the same as kicking trans people down the stairs.
You get that right? The insufferability comes not from saying "please show support by not playing this game" but from saying "if you play this game, you are a bad person".
Hyperbole and bad faith arguing is not compelling anyone to support your cause or your point of view
Literally hundreds of games, movies and books out there not made by a monster leading the anti trans movement but you're still unwilling to give up on one video game to show support for trans people. They are absolutely right about you, nothing hyperbolic about what they said.
I haven't played the game nor do I want to. What I said is still true nonetheless. If you want to convince someone to boycott a piece of media, being a presumptuous dickhead is the exact opposite way you accomplish that.
Unless of course their actual goal is to merely use trans people as fodder for performative moral grand standing in which case they're a piece of shit that no one should listen to anyway because that's not what true allyship looks like.
I am trans myself fucker. Someone who has to live with the vile shit terfs are spewing. Either way, someone disagreeing with you is not ""performative moral grand standing""".
You're right, which is why I didn't say that it was. You and the person I'm responding to are being toxic and you're not helping yourself by doing that. I am and have always been a defender of trans people, and you are jumping at every opportunity to assume I'm not simply because I don't agree with your methodology. That's retarded. Grow the fuck up.
