i thought we realised that policing and chastising people for the media they consume (unless it is literally illegal, but i shouldn't even need to specify that) is fucking weird, invasive, achieves nothing and just makes you look like a gigantic twat lmao

#everyone knows exactly what this is about but i'm not specifying because i'll get lynched regardless #i don't give a shit where you stand on the issue but don't try to act like you have #any sort of moral highground over a literal fucking video game #unironically just touch grass there are bigger problems and better ways to handle them than doing this #you don't see anyone shrieking that people are godawful evil people for playing fucking blizzard games for example when they are literally #just as fucking bad as a certain author #'oh but what about the subjects in the game that are le bad?' buddy fucking all of the examples of 'the bad things' i've seen are absolute #fucking reaches or downright misinformation #but that's a whole other rabbit hole #if you want to make a fucking difference and genuinely care about the subjects involved then actually do something proactive about it #like volunteering or donating or actually partaking in /actual/ real fucking protests about these things #not telling people to kill themselves for playing a video game because it's just of a piece of media they enjoy regardless whether they #support the authors views or not lmfao #like news flash: most people buying it aren't even remotely fucking aware of any controversy #it isn't some weird 'character test' that i've seen people proclaiming #just fucking go outside please #i'll probably delete this later but god i'm so fucking tired of this shit man #there are better and bigger ways to handle the actual issues going on here #but this? it doesn't fucking matter and you aren't helping fucking anyone by trying to tear apart anyone who plays the fucking game #the only thing it's achieving is driving some potential 'allies' away because of how reactionary #and volatile everyone has been about this #like do you not fucking see this behaviour and not realise 'hmm maybe this is doing more harm than good?'#maybe try just fucking educating people and understanding that someone can separate the art from the artist #jesus christ #i'm so tired man #this is something i'd expect from a bunch of teenagers in 2015/2016 not mostly grown-ass adults #creature speak
