    is jk rowling actually that bad? looked into her for the first time ever, and she just seems like someone who strongly identifies with her perception of womanhood and doesn't want it minimized. Definitely seems like she blows the issue of trans woman in vulnerable cis women spaces way out of proportion, which is a bad thing to be sure, but as the victim of domestic abuse it's not that surprising. Otherwise she seems pretty damn philanthropic and supports trans and LGBT people pretty vocally in a 'you deserve to exist and be respected' kind of way

    idk might be missing something but given where her money goes, she seems like a net positive on the world

    Can't really support people and also say your self identification isn't real and you're mentally ill at the same time. Also they you're just pretending to be a predator. Maybe she should use all that money and go get psychological help and stop projecting her hurt onto other people.

    has she explicitly said gender identity isn't real? and it seems like she recognizes that most trans people aren't predators, just (unreasonably) suggests that it's important enough to base all legislative action on

    humor me I'm catching up on a lot of discourse very rapidly

    what most annoys me is her fixation on it. her Twitter timeline has been majority trans stuff recently, and of all the evils in this world an otherwise gay rights friendly liberal Labour woman choosing to fixate on the downsides of trans acceptance on women like her is an oi vey brother

    Yes, she has in many of her rants. Also, the legislation against rape and predators is on the books (it needs heavy updating) but specifically doing to selectively focus on trans individuals is transphobic. Just like people voting for more higher police budgets and special forces in predominately black and brown areas is racist.

    She wrote a book recently from a fake name about an author that is murdered for being anti-trans and the pseudo name she used was a well known anti-trans individual.

    She literally could've lived her life rich as fuck, if she would've just shut up.

    not that issues don't exist, where to place trans prisoners, male to female athletes in women's sports, etc, but it's kinda like if someone only ever brings up racial issues to talk about Hispanic immigrants or black Americans committing violence. betrays darker shades of the heart methinks.

    she just doesn't really seem like the actual devil she's been made out to be, but I reserve the right to change my mind on that as I continue

    Rowling probably would have flown totally under the radar on it but she has made it her entire persona.

    I hope stealth is not important to this story because I have been murdering literally everybody.

    It’s your preference for playstyle if you’d rather go murder happy or sneaky stabby. On the higher difficulties you’ll have an easier time going sneaky stab, at least until you have access to more weapons and experience. I believe ammo and resources are more scarce on higher difficulty as well so ideally you’ll save them for boss encounters.

    I had an encounter earlier where someone runs up to a gang of hunters screaming about how the entire unit of the place I had just came from was dead and as I replayed the scene 4 different times so I could shoot him in the head at various times during his speech I wondered if maybe not killing got different dialogue.

    Yeah I left it alone. Send her pops a holiday card last year out of gratitude for them inviting me to Thanksgiving. Deep down so her parents could be like "How's AoE doing?" when they see her.
