It's a shitshow.

If any of guys can find other journalists doing the same, please post it here.

 

[elliot5]

Ok and

 

[Putonahappyface]

Hilariously pathetic.

 

[Starfield]

oh

 

[NikuNashi]

He's not a games journalist then. He's a trans activist who happens to play games.

 

[The Pleasure]

Stunning and Brave.

Not sure if you're serious or not. Is he really a trans activist?

If so, my bad!

 

[Bryank75]

The only question I have is.... how many copies should I buy?!

 

[Deerock71]

I replied to his stance, calling him an idiot.

 

[FoundryMusic]

"Gaming journalist"

 

[Abriael_GN]

It's pretty interesting to see someone literally working for Tencent trying so hard to sit on a moral high horse. For those who missed the memo, Tencent owns Fanbyte.

Wonder if he's so active condemning his employer's games considering their ties with a government that's committing literal genocide.

Incidentally, I'm no Potterhead. I've literally never watched a Harry Potter movie or read a book, but boy, today's presentation sold me on the game.

There's a better way to do this. The game isn't even a work of hers, it's completely separate. Just say she's a piece of shit then move on and talk about the game. How hard is that?

 

[Putonahappyface]

When is the preorder up?

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Dumbass. Virtue signaling isnt going to get you laid bro just stop..

 

[Haggard]

Why the fuck do you give that guy attention by posting and therefore spreading this crap?

 

[NeoGiffer]

Hilariously pathetic.

Even worse, rhe developers have gone overboard to be overtly trans friendly etc. And they get repaid by having their game blackballed. That will really persuade other developers and publishers to make an effort....

 

[FunkMiller]

I look forward to him also never covering another Ubisoft or Activision game, where they actively sexually harass women.

 

[ManaByte]

He's very active on a certain forum that's banning people for talking about the game. He just doesn't want to get banned there and is sucking up to the inmates moderating the place.

Na, that won't get him the desired serotonin hit that he gets from virtue signalling to seals clapping on Twitter.

 

[Pejo]

OP you put the quotation marks around "ties" instead of "journalist". I'm sure a mod will fix it for you.

 

[Calverz]

When I read into what all this fuss about JK Rowling was, I couldn’t stop laughing.

 

[fermcr]

Who cares if he doesn't cover the game?

One less gaming "journalist" to spread crap.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Fuck em. They're trash anyways.

 

[zapiks44]

Oh No! Anyway...

 

[Abriael_GN]

I do happen to ask myself the same question a lot on this forum, as of late.

JK Rowling did this on Twitter. You don't do this on Twitter:

No. He was on Game Informer for a while. He actually has a lot of sources and seems to be a good "game journalist" sometimes. But he's the biggest tool of all time in terms of being an SJW moron. Talk about having a blind spot the size of Texas. I dont know if he's ever met anyone outside of California before. He's based in San Fran I think.

Guy should live in the Midwest for a few years and learn to talk to normal people. One of the biggest bubbles I've ever seen.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

JK Rowling did this on Twitter. You don't do this on Twitter:

Its a fucked up world we live in.

 

[DeepEnigma]

That's why you never apologize or go out of your way to try and appease the cult.

 

[Captain Toad]

JK Rowling did this on Twitter. You don't do this on Twitter:

The fact we can't teach our children this basic truth anymore is absurd.

I have no interest in Harry Potter, but I almost want to buy this just to stand up to this nonsense.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Gotta love these keyboard justice warriors!

If only they knew the amount of slave labor that went into the consumer products they buy while sipping their latte.

 

[Hendrick's]

I respect his right to not cover the game, but not his narcissistic need to tell the world why.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Then he's not a journalist, just a cunt.

 

[arvfab]

I think I will buy two copies now

 

[Deerock71]

Then he's not a journalist, just a cunt.

The Mark Twain Caves variety of cunt, mind you.

 

[Barakov]

It's a shitshow.

If any of guys can find other people doing the same, please post it here.

Check out this "essay" from Gamespot :

JK Rowling's Anti-Transgender Stance And Hogwarts Legacy

With a brand-new Harry Potter game on the way, now is the time to unpack and try to understand the impact of franchise creator JK Rowling's discriminatory behaviour.

These people are delusional.

 

[CobraAB]

Cry me a fucking river.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

It's a great way to filter out who to unfollow on social media.

 

[Abriael_GN]

I respect his right to not cover the game, but not his narcissistic need to tell the world why.

As the news editor of a gaming website, his "right" not to cover news about a major game is debatable, and even more so his "right" to replace said news with something unrelated. I guess his employer (Tencent) is very tolerant.

 

[Deft Beck]

I don't understand the grandstand. You don't have to buy the game. It's not going to directly fund transphobia, either.

I think that most people will buy the game based on the Harry Potter brand who don't pay attention to Twitter at all.

Some people should not be allowed near a keyboard and CMS.

 

[PJX]

The clown works for Fanbyte which is owned by Tencent. Yeah ...he can go fuck himself.

 

[Saber]

Wow, a true mix of of clown and retard.

Gonna be a good show seeing he losing his shit when this game releases and starts selling well.

You don't understand. These people sit on Twitter ALL DAY. It's their entire world and the only social interaction they get.

"Now is the time to unpack ..."

And I'm out lol.

Thats actually a really good point that i overlooked. Not only is he virtue signaling his ass off (lotta ass there btw) hes using the platform he was given for his occupation... this makes it 10 times worse.
