    Your morals are fine, what isn’t fine is that most of the people boycotting the game are harassing people that buy it.

    She’s literally said that people buying her shit proves she’s right.

    So what? Why is everyone giving some dumbass writer that hasn’t been relevant in 10 years so much attention? Who cares what she says? Tons of people say terrible, stupid things on the internet. Sorry I’m not joining your crusade to call everyone that wants to enjoy a video game a bigot.

      They may not be bigots themselves but they happily give their money to a person well known for being bigoted that also actively tries to make the world a worse place for trans people. It is like buying a burzum album; you don’t have to be a nazi to do it but the nazi still profits.

      My girlfriend literally was bullied by coworkers for playing the game. And she is the absolute sweetest. It is completely ridiculous

      If I cared, I could easily go into the above dude’s post history to find an example of his money going towards some bigot to prove he’s a hypocrite. It doesn’t matter what you buy, your money is supporting bigotry, because at the top of the human social hierarchy are bigots. Welcome to the world. Picking on fellow peasants for something out of their hands is wrong.

      I don’t even have to dig come to think of it, dude is typing to us on a device assembled by slaves or maybe even child slaves.
