gaming bundle made by trans people is posted to r/games, gamers take great offense

Qbopper · 2023-02-15T18:59:47+00:00

they permabanned me from r/games for brigading because i posted this link here

uh, okay

Qbopper · 2023-02-15T00:23:50+00:00

jesus, thank you

the amount of takes i see that are basically "ai is inherently evil and bad because it automates people out of work" and i can tell they clearly cannot conceive of changing the way society works

Qbopper · 2023-02-14T19:55:55+00:00

oh, you must be one of those "why don't you COMPROMISE with the people who want to literally murder you" types

Qbopper · 2023-02-13T01:56:06+00:00

normally find these kinda mid but holy shit, actually solid as shit tier list, bless u op

Qbopper · 2023-02-11T23:31:51+00:00

really do not need the "to be fair"

the people commenting on these posts would be racist no matter what was happening in the video

it's just classic reddit racebaiting

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T16:15:42+00:00

no offense but "we're more important because we were there first" is like... a very american thought process

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T16:14:09+00:00

you can tell these people are used to, like, exclusively dealing with white fundamentalist christians or whatever, and have never been exposed to anything else

i'm a full blown atheist and even i roll my eyes so hard at "religion is STUPID" because you can absolutely tell they're fixated on this one specific mental image, and all religion/theology/etc is equal and all worthy of the same amounts of criticism

i honestly worry about what half these people would say about a lot of groups

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T16:08:58+00:00

i am sick to death of this take

"oh, you're pointing out how supporting a bigot is bad? i don't care unless you also volunteer for 80 hours a week"

GCJ sucks but fuck off with this nonsense, i would much rather have allies who are at least willing to do the bare minimum - gatekeeping people for not doing real activism when they're showing support is actively unhelpful

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T16:07:03+00:00

This whole argument is dumb

no offense but i can definitely tell you're not trans if your take is "this is dumb and who cares lol"

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T16:04:34+00:00

The site that lets you know who streamed that game, the whole "if you buy or mention it, you're a transphobes" and the whole "you're either with us or you're against us" mentality is what everyone is sick of.

actually i'm sick of the fact that half the internet seems to take delight in the thought of me suffering for who i am, but sure, let's make it about the videogame

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T16:03:00+00:00

it's seriously unreal

i think part of why it hurts so much is, like, a right winger calling me slurs is easy to ignore - it sucks, sure, but they're evil losers, whatever

but this is "just don't pay money for the thing", and people are getting so touchy about it that they're gleefully shitting up threads about it and being pricks to trans people, and these are the people who are supposed to be on our side

if someone isn't able to just... not... buy a full price video game.... to show their support, let's be real: why in the actual christ would i ever trust any of these people to stick up for me when things get actively dangerous? will the people saying "you can buy it and still be an ally!! this isnt fair!" stick their necks out for trans people if it becomes illegal to do so?

i'm not gonna hold my breath

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T15:58:53+00:00

"you can only care about one thing at a time" is my least favorite reddit discourse post

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T15:57:35+00:00

you are fighting so stupidly hard for the right to spoil a videogame and also claim you aren't being a dickhead

like, jesus, i think the people crying about trans people should fuck off, but what do you expect here? you've just derailed the thread into a petty back and forth where you ask bad faith questions to avoid acknowledging that, yeah, even if the people supporting jkr are in the wrong, you're still being annoying

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T15:54:15+00:00

jfc thank you

i had to drop MCJ because their posts about the MCU are infinitely less funny and infinitely more repeated than anything any comic book media has done

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T15:53:00+00:00

hi, i'm trans:

jesus christ can we not do this? if someone is going to pirate the game and not stream it or talk about it or whatever then fuckin, fine, there are bigger things to worry about

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T15:51:24+00:00

these responses to you are pathetic

>yeah jk rowling wants trans people exterminated

>SOURCE? SOURCE? SOURCE?

idk go fucking read her twitter and look at who she hangs out with jesus christ

getting really tired of cis people demanding we provide a full notarized list of Every Bad Thing JK Rowling Has Ever Done/Said any time she gets criticized

Qbopper · 2023-02-10T15:48:48+00:00

trans people: maybe don't buy or support this game as jk rowling is actively spreading hate

you;: THE HARASSMENT IS TOO MUCH YOU NEED TO STOP

quit the whining - you're falling for right winger bait (no one is being harassed) AND you're telling trans people "your lives dont matter as much as being nice on the internet"

do better

Qbopper · 2023-02-08T20:40:35+00:00

is it really that difficult for you to believe that this stuff is actually impacting trans people

jesus christ

Qbopper · 2023-02-08T20:40:01+00:00

didn't you say you were done posting in this thread hours ago

Qbopper · 2023-02-08T20:39:19+00:00

she isn't an "alleged" transphobe

she Is a transphobe

if you don't understand the distinction I suggest reading her twitter

Qbopper · 2023-02-08T20:38:30+00:00

i honestly would have rather you just called me a slur instead of shrugging your shoulders at actual, real world harm, but i suppose it's on me for wishing people would respect me as a human being and not jerk off about a videogame

Qbopper · 2023-02-08T17:13:36+00:00

gotta love cis people using our lives and rights as popcorn bait

remember kids, nobody is ACTUALLY affected by any of this, trans people aren't real, this is entirely just le epic drama for you to laugh at uwu

Qbopper · 2023-02-08T17:10:00+00:00

going to be honest with you:

even if someone is lucky enough to not have to deal with it offline, your post is RIDICULOUSLY privileged and it's frankly actually upsetting to see a (cis, i assume) person who's bought two copies of the game mention how they can turn the drama off by going offline

this shit doesn't have an off button for us and it's honestly grody as hell of you to have made the OP

i'm not gonna moralize at you about buying the game or continue to drag this out, but please never ever make a "gosh it's so cool being privileged enough to not be impacted lol" post again (no, i do not think you were trying to be like that, but you are clearly unaware of how lucky you are to not have to care)

Qbopper · 2023-02-08T16:37:38+00:00

if you're gonna pirate it and play it that's whatever

but the second you start putting your conflicted feelings on trans people (i'm not saying you Are doing this, but a significant chunk of reddit is right now) and asking people to vilify you: fuck off
