Topic: Hogwarts Legacy

@Zuljaras Do people believe woman bathrooms have a force field that makes it impossible for men to get through? And do you believe trans people go through months (even years) of medical process just to "get close to their victims"? We can disagree with opinions but this is not a different opinion, this is just being wrong.

Also, do you understand the consequences of this? How far do you want this to go? Do you want people to have to have their birth certificate and having to show that to enter bathrooms? Oh and what happens to men here? It's fine if "impostors" enter their bathrooms? What happens with trans people getting killed everywhere too? There are plenty of reports of that too or those don't count?

Like... Please. Protecting woman is right and all. But you don't have to do this to protect them. You truly don't.

Game doesnt even run on a Steam Deck very well, I dont think it will ever get released on a tablet with a chip from 2013.

@jowe_gv I am not doing anything to advocate any form of violence. It exists because of humans, it is in our nature and not exclusive just against trans people. Maybe in 100 years everything will be ok for everyone, but for now I don't see that happening. Also, I am not against people sticking for their minorities, but violence brings more violence which brings me to my point above.

@Hayter I too think that the game has zero chance of running natively on the Switch, but then again the Witcher 3 is. It is blurry and choppy for sure but still

@Zuljaras You didn't answered to anything I said in my previous comment. Like, anything at all. You just said "violence is bad". Which is obvious and something I never denied.

@jowe_gv I did not answer because otherwise I will get banned here and I do not want that to happen.

Let's just say that I do not think that biology can be changed even after medical procedures.

It is like saying that the guy from the movie "Tusk" after many operations from a doctor is turned into a real biological walrus.

So, to summarize, spaces for biological women are for biological women and spaces for biological men are for biological men no matter how someone thinks of him/her/they self.

This is my stance. And I hope you understand it.

And yeah, "Violence is bad"

@Zuljaras I never said biology can be change tho, that was NEVER the point. Not even trans people defend that.

Your original point was that gendered bathrooms need to based on biology in order to protect woman and now you dropped that and say you just say that you believe that separation has to be based on biology because.... I guess you just want to force trans men to go to the woman bathrooms and viceversa? Why having a structure so rigid in the first place? There isn't anything in biology that says that gendered bathrooms have to exist in the first place either.

And have you ever seen a trans woman? Like, look at one that has fully transitioned. Do you want them to go to a men bathroom? And what happens with trans men? They would have to go to woman bathrooms too, right?

Also, how do you enfoce this whole "based on biology" thing? Based on looks? If one woman looks "too masculine" (because, yes, that also happens) she not allowed? With a goverment forced document that you have to show before entering a *** bathroom? Or the easiest option (and the one that people like her are supporting) make it harder for trans people to transition. See the issue now?

Again, doesn't this seem a bit... much? Like, there isn't another way to protect woman? One that doesn't enfoce stupid rectrictions to someone that just wants to go to the bathroom?

...This is just such a stupid reason to spead hate against trans people in the first place.

@jowe_gv Okay this is the final say from me on the subject

1. I said that JKs views are for protecting women and that I understand them! Her views, because people are saying that they are made from genuine hatred which is NOT true. (at least for me)

2. My point is that no matter what you do to YOUR body can't change the facts. Many people are uncomfortable with fully transitioned individuals in the bathrooms or in sports etc. I have actually seen such people and it was obvious for me.

3. As for where they should go, a gender-neutral bathroom or something like that? I think those were put somewhere in the EU but were not used or something like that. Same with sports, a third category should be made. Also the registered cases of people complaining are from individuals that were uncomfortable being in the same space with said people, right? If that being the case, for me it is legit.

4. And yes, things seem a bit much but that is because the whole society(majority) do not want to approve the demands of such a small minority at THIS time. Maybe in the future.

And this whole activism is not doing them ANY favor.

I will give my two cents.

I can’t stand that woman I don’t agree with anything she says, and she made the franchise kinda bitter to me, however people Are acting no better by harassing people for buying a video game, if you don’t support her, if you don’t want her to have a cent of your cash, please don’t buy it, but there are real devs behind this game, and they have repetitively said they don’t support her, and this is not to say that way they feel is wrong, it’s not, it’s vary valid, but harassing people to the point they don’t even want to stream the game is a bit much.

People don’t deserved to be bullied for just wanting to play a game for a franchise they enjoy, video games are an escape at the end of the day, and sometimes I even feel bad for liking the series, because the person who is made it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable, but I try to separate the art from the artist in these situations.

Well, that was my two cents, im sorry if anyone finds this rude in anyway, and to note I’m not defending J.K in anyway, just the devs who actually spent there hard work on it.

@Snatcher You are right! The devs are the real heroes here!

I wish we could get a Pokemon game from Avalanche

Hey folks, we're probably not the place to be having this discussion. Thank you for your understanding ❤️

@Zuljaras Its not everyday that we get a by fans for fans game, I have seen little gameplay but the details are great, it really does feel like Harry Potter, the character creator also looks amazing, it lets you create however you want really.

It’s messed up that people need to feel bad for buying a game, with there money, harassing people is never ok, and especially to random people who just wanted to have a good time.

@DreamlandGem Definitely, as it something that probably won’t end well whatsoever, so I will leave my reply’s as they are and not discuss it further.

@Zuljaras : I second your position, but it's not a matter of what you or I think, it's about objective reality, and I resent that the unsuspecting majority have been implicitly co-opted into the movement by proxy through the relentless use of disingenous and deceitful rhetoric that has slipped under their noses (such as the disingenuous use of "gendered bathrooms", when, up until five minutes ago, bathrooms were always segregated on the basis of sex, because that is what most of us would deem an objective standard).

Incidentally, I resent being asked what my "gender" is (as fewer platforms/forms etc. ask what one's "sex" is nowadays, which I would otherwise be happy to disclose) or what I "identify" as, and I will default to not answering such questions, if given the option. I don't "identify" as a man any more than I "identify" as a human being. This is just the inalienable reality of my being (as articulated in a fashion that most people can comprehend), as are my age, height, among other characteristics that are (mostly) beyond my control. And I'm also sympathetic to people who feel inadequate or otherwise out of place in their sex, and I'll confess that I find it strange to be referred to as a "man" well into my adult years. My voice isn't very deep, I've experienced body dysmorphia from a very young age due to a deformity and an infection that made me feel disgusted with myself, and I'm particularly insecure about sounding, acting, or making comments in a manner that isn't particularly masculine. I think a lot of us would find it cathartic/therapeutic if we could at least articulate these things more openly rather than taking drastic measures to spite the vessel that we have been dealt.

As somebody who really enjoys video gaming, I do worry that efforts to be "inclusive" will ultimately exclude me from participating, at least with new/modern games, which is perhaps ironic given that I would tick off several boxes on the so-called "diversity" checklist.

It wasn't all that long ago that we yearned for a society in which man would be judged by the content of his character (over meaningless/superficial attributes), but the so-called "developed world" is fast regressing in this respect.

There are a million and one more things I can say on the topic (and some that I've written but retracted), but considering that even my mildest of comments on the topic tend to get removed by those who can't handle the truth (not necessarily limited to here), I'll leave it at that. But I also suspect that even platforms such as this will become so hostile that I will eventually be driven out of it, and all under the noble guise of "inclusion" and "diversity".

And I don't even agree with 90% of what JK Rowling says, but the way in which she is being tarred and feathered is absolutely ridiculous.

EDIT: It seems that the mod had posted while I was still throwing this together, so, indeedily-dee, I will not pursue this topic further.

@Zuljaras Last comment about this.
1. She says her views are about protecting woman but, like I said, there are other ways. And maybe her views are not born from hatred but what is she advocating? Are the results all that different? Like I said, she wants to make transitioning for trans people harder. And better not talk about the people who she has alligned with, some of them even want to roll back woman rights.

2. The fact that trans woman were born a man can't change. Like I said, noone is saying that it can. But that doesn't excuse being *** to trans people for no reason. You have a point with sports (something that I didn't mention earlier by the way... you seem to be adding new points more than actually answering anything I ask) but like... making transition harder? Forcing trans people to go to their ""correct"" public bathroom? All of this to me just sound like hate. Because it is not necessary. And you still have to show me why it is aside from "violence" and "I believe so".

3. Gender neutral bathrooms could be a way to make people like her shut up. But, due to the fact that trans people are a minority, they are not going to be used much. But, hey, if she stops saying that we should make transitioning ever harder for trans people (which is what she is saying and THE ACTUAL REASON people call her that) and she says that we should do gender neutral bathrooms I would consider that an actual positive improvement. To me with the bathrooms stuff just sounds SO unnecessary tho. Like, would signs in front of a room stop a man wanting to attack a woman?

3.1. Also, individuals feeling "unconfortable" should also be considered as a reason to separate the bathrooms? That makes no sense to me. Like, should we also do a black woman bathroom because certain white woman feel "unconfortable" arround them? I'm sorry, with this I just don't agree at all.
Besides, I've also seen cases of people bullying a woman (like a biological woman) because they thought that she was trans since "she looked too masculine". Since, you know, sometimes trans woman can't be easily distinguished from woman at first glace, meaning that we get cases like that. I'm sorry but this point just sounds like hate to me.

4. The fact that "society" doesn't want to approve the demands of a minority doesn't mean that minority is wrong in asking for those demands. Was gay people wrong for asking for demands in the 80s or 90s?

BONUS: May I remind people that right now multiple anti-trans legislation is being pushed. Like, ones that basically make transitioning illegal. Just wanting to remind people that this is more than bathrooms, sports and kids. It always is. Because stuff like that is used as an easy justification. "Trans people on sports are a problem so we ban trans people and the problem is solved!"

If someone hates trans people because of trolls online then they probably already hated them earlier and wanted more reasons to do it or a complete ignorant. I'm sorry but that's what I believe.
It's so easy nowadays online to do that kind of harrassment, specially with smaller streamers... For all that we know, the people that did that may not even be trans themselves. But, hey, it's their fault either way apperantly.

Edit: Whoops... Mods came. Like I said, this will be my last comment about this.

Still hoping the game comes to switch. However I may buy it on xbox.

@Ryu_Niiyama Amazon has the release date as 25 July, but I think the graphics downgrade will hinder it

@Bunkerneath I legit wonder how this game is going to run on the switch, it looks like a lot on other consoles lol.

Started playing last night on PS5 and absolutely love it! I'm only a few hours in so far but it's definitely all I hoped it would be. It's basically what I always dreamed a Harry Potter game could be. I was pretty cautious when they first announced it as it seemed too ambitious but I feel like they pulled it off really well. I thought maybe it would turn into an overhyped failure like Cyberpunk, but I feel like it holds its own against other great open world games like The Witcher and Horizon. That might just be my love for the series talking, but I still think even a non-Harry Potter fan could enjoy this game.

@Sisilly_G Yeah, I guess you're right.😁

This game is not gonna run on a switch. It's gonna be a cloud version or otherwise it will completely unplayable.
This game is do demanding, that there just isn't the way they can make it run smooth.

...Quit acting like the Switch can't handle an open world game. -.-
