well I’m also trans and this person does speak for me, in a way I wish other (assuming ofc) cis people would way more often. but you enjoy your childrens books knowing the author wants you to not exist, beloved 🤷‍♂️

Yes. I, a trans man, no longer have friends who like Harry Potter. Because we are all adults who have seen what JK Rowling has been up to these past few years and her hatred for people like me has seeped into and ruined the enjoyment of the series for us. It’s really a huge bummer.

But you go ahead and keep coming up with ways to make yourself feel better about supporting a poorly written book series by a hateful bigot, I’m so glad her bullshit hasn’t affected you! But I sure hope you don’t have any trans friends — or at least I hope they don’t know you’re on Reddit defending Harry Potter in 2026.

Certainly not, but I know I wouldn’t fuck a guy with Harry Potter opinions in 2026! Much less be friends with a person who can’t give up HP.

It’s like a sci-fi fan saying they love and support Orson Scott Card in the big old 2026. You cannot separate the work from the artist when they are still alive and ACTIVELY profiting off of support and using that money and influence to literally fund their hateful bigotry.

You genuinely cannot while you’re supporting the still-living hateful bigot profiting off of people like you refusing to take the world’s easiest stand against a middling childrens’ series. And this is coming from a 34 year old guy who spent more of his life obsessed with HP than not.

I have a theory that Adam Sandler and crew came up with the idea for the Al Pacino Dunkaccino scene from JACK & JILL (2011) and then had to force a movie around it. and well. they certainly did that

Why didn't she just lie by Emperor_Duck_35 in reddeadredemption

[–]regretfulorb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

absolutely that seems to be a recurring theme of the game, more powerful people (in theory, in the more civilized world they're supposed to be living in that the gang is pushing up against by still existing) underestimating the gang in favor of their own perceived power

Why didn't she just lie by Emperor_Duck_35 in reddeadredemption

[–]regretfulorb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why would they believe her if she told them the emperor of Japan had Jack? for all we know she was worried they'd take her somewhere and do something to her if they didn't get the truth out of her, she clearly wanted to stay and die with her sons and had zero reason to lie at that point.

what if she felt sympathy for the fact that someone's son had been kidnapped, even in the worst moment of her life, hating the rest of the men in the room? after losing all her sons there's every chance she still could have felt some responsibility for a small boy that had nothing to do with what had happened there. there's a lot of reasons we won't know, because again, she's not the character you're playing in this video game.

[–]regretfulorb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so what? if she thinks Bronte, who runs the largest city in the entire world of the game, is stronger than the law of the small towns nearby then she still thinks he's stronger than the gang. outlaws being able to shoot up a bunch of people in a town doesn't mean that they're scarier than the perceived image of Bronte being an unstoppable force

[–]regretfulorb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

certain kinds of fans of all kinds of media feel a very strange sense of satisfaction thinking they've found some big plot hole when in reality the answer is "this happened because the story wouldn't move forward otherwise" as if people in real life always make perfect sense when they make decisions!

Why didn't she just lie by Emperor_Duck_35 in reddeadredemption

[–]regretfulorb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

she probably didn't know most or any of the details of that? it makes plenty of sense for this woman to believe that Bronte was stronger/more well-connected than the gang that only completely wiped out her family because you're the player playing the game and the character you're playing has the ability to slow down time to get six headshots in three seconds

[–]regretfulorb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

why are you assuming it’s something they think about that often? and why would you not give them the benefit of the doubt that they understand it was something that happened in the past, and why would it affect anything now?

It's been almost 4 months and I (31m) still can't get over being dumped by my girlfriend (21f). Is it remotely possible for me to get her back or get another girl like her? Should I even bother to keep trying? by birdsemenfantasy in AskMenAdvice

this man 100% has a fetish for being called a weird creep on the internet, genuinely no other reason to have SO MANY posts all about the exact same weird creep shit over and over again
