If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Fearing political backlash because your game features a slave fighting the KKK says so much about the current state of the political climate.
Ubisoft canceled an 'Assassin's Creed' game set after the Civil War
• Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave
• Would fight the emerging Ku Klux Klan
• Leadership canceled it — concerned with US political climate & Yasuke backlash

The oligarchs are consolidating all of the legacy media. This would leave David Ellison, son of Oracle founder Larry Ellison, in control of CBS News and CNN. On top of that, 2 major studios in Paramount and Warner Bros. This is a hostile takeover of the information space.

I don’t think this would have happened if the larger games media world shut down that anti-Sweet Baby shit on Day 1. I’ve beat this drum a lot, and will beat it again: I really think this problem has festered since games journalists abdicated responsibility to resist the RW tide in gaming

Extra context - the BBC has previously been the subject *of* a trans rights protest for unethical coverage practices explicitly intended to misrepresent us and stoke right wing hatred. The Guardian’s come under fire for similar things.

Nazis like Charlie Kirk are allowed to say whatever vile thing they like, but if queer people so much as giggle at them they get the boot. Oppressors are allowed to be violent as they like, but their victims must never be allowed to swing back.

Politicians and rich people only condemn violence as "political" when it kills someone rich and famous.
When trans people are targeted for violence by the state or by right wing influencers, when immigrants are racially profiles and put in camps, when protestors are brutalized, that's just normal.

No, human rights are not up for debate.

The Pod Save America bros are setting up a "debate" about trans rights featuring anti-trans ghoul Matt Yglesias, apparently! No clue who the "pro-trans" side will be repped by, but I'm really worried that they're going to just find someone to get steamrolled.
