Lot of cringe shit happening on Twitch surrounding the game rn.
Twitch chat basically bullied Girlfriend Reviews into tears because they were playing it which makes me angry cause they seem like some of the nicest and funniest people.
The fucking amount of vitriol this game is bringing out in some people is just absurd. Like if you are only allowed to enjoy content from IP's that were created by non shitty people, then I can probably count the number of approved IP's on one hand.
JK Rowling must be pissed that all the dialogue refers to you as They.
that sucks they do seem like genuinely decent folk
also Pablo Neruda and Ezra Pound are two of my favorite poets and one wrote a panegyric for Stalin's funeral and the other was fond of Mein Kampf
Rowling gonna have to put in some work to make me disown the entirety of her world tbh lesgoooo
for vtuber nerds, Pikamee got bullied off of her stream as well
I prescribe to Death of the Author. As long as their views aren’t in their works, then their believes don’t matter for that piece of work. HP is as bland as can be. Rowling had to make up shit after the fact just to put in some diversity. The people pushing so hard against consuming anything HP are idiots of the highest matter. Not because I agree with Rowling’s outlook, but because these people are doing things the dumbest way possible. You will help the trans movement so much better by investing your time to actually help the cause. Lobbying against this game does nothing. Best case scenario for them is absolutely no one buys the game. What does that do? It helps no one.
I’m going to sound old as hell saying this, but I really do blame TikTok for a lot of this stupidity. It’s literally meme culture taken to the extreme on a culture ready to grab onto whatever trend or fad comes into the public eye.
And just because I feel I need to throw some shade on Rowling, she’s already proven HP was an incredible fluke for her. Everything she’s had a hand in after the fact has been terrible. I don’t think she had any fingers in the game and honestly that should have given support for anti-Rowling people. Show that the IP does not need her. no one likes HP for Rowling. They fell in love with the HP universe and it’s characters.
I'm sure all the people outraged by this game don't ever eat at Chick-Fil-A though.
I joked about playing the game while eating Chick-fil-A to my wife. But seriously, Chick-fil-A is just not good compared to alternatives.
LOL that video is awesome
Regardless of how this game sells WB is almost assuredly down with the franchise after how hard the last fantastic beast bombed. If this game had been earlier in development when Rowling started calling trans people duplicitous rapists it would of likely been canceled before announcement. When the franchise was missing from Multiversus that should of signaled that the writing was on the wall.
I don’t think I’ve ever had one of their milkshakes or Polynesian sauce, but I do prefer Raising Cane’s chicken sauce over the Chick-fil-A chicken sauce. And Cane’s bread outclasses any of the Chick-fil-A sides I’ve had.
I was never into HP when I was growing up. I read all the books during a couple weekend shifts when I worked overnights when they were far past my age demographic. Unsurprisingly I wasn’t huge on it. The films were entertaining when my wife had me watch them. And I did actually think Fantastic Beasts 1 was a mostly decent film. I was absolutely disappointed to what happened to the sequel and I never plan on watching 3. My wife, a massive HP fan also thought 2 was a flop and says she’ll watch 3 at some point but is in absolutely no rush to do so. Rowling should not have been allowed to touch the script for any of those films.
Man games "media" and the vocal minority really do their best to ruin things for everyone. I cannot wait til all of these online mainstream "publications" die. It's only a matter of time, the revenue just isn't what it was 10 years ago.
I do love chick fil a sauce but tbh it's easier and better if you make it at home. it's literally just mayo, bbq, honey, lemon, and a few types of mustard
