If you've already forgotten the dramas of early 2023, there was a temporary gimmick website with a url along the lines of didtheyplaythewizardgame.com that would track if a streamer streamed Hogwarts Legacy (I think by using Twitch categories). Now you can call this melodramatic or virtue signal-y but people acted like this was leftist kiwifarms.

I think it's uncharitable to take one line out of context considering the whole post. The point is that all the online interrogation if the dreaded bisexual cis woman or non-kinky gay can themselves queer is dumb and doesn't actually reflect anything real.

I forgot whether it's these forums but I've been told a story where someone's work colleague asked a trans woman colleague if she would give them permission to play the Harry Potter game and the latter was like "I don't play video games so I didn't even know this???"

Pretty sure Ariong is not saying everyone is like that or that they are. They're just saying that you should have solidarity with queer and gender nonconforming people and don't gatekeep that poo poo.

You mean I should think that being queer is like being in a fun club and it rules? Because I do think that, and I specifically said it in the post you quoted. However in case I didn’t make it clear enough: being queer kicks rear end and I love it.

yeah the tortured lead-up to the game's release vastly outsized its staying power once it was available to play

so mediocre that chuds didn't even stick around to spite-promote it or anything like that

Most of this thread isn't on topic but if someone's going to start a rugby scrum with other people here (encouraged) it should at least be an amusing mess over something someone said or your own insane (correct) opinion about a media property.

It was similar to that Four Female Ghostbusters (The Feminists Are Taking Over) movie where the culture war poo poo cloud that engulfed it completely consumed it to the point that no visible conversations occurred discussing the actual content of the work. I don’t even know what type of game it was.

nah it's not really about the broader point i just found the sentence regarding large swathes of the population hating queer people as unhelpful. not sure if you live in america or not but i live in florida so anti-lgbt rhetoric is pretty common among media/politicians. so it gets to the point where hyper-vigilant "They Want Us Dead" rhetoric gets really exhausting and feeds into doomerism more thn anything

It was basically your average twitter freak-out. People crying left and right about how this game will literally kill people and drain their bonemarrow, shunning and dogpiling people for playing it.... and a few weeks later, on to the next outrage.

Well I’m sorry that sort of thing causes you so much consternation and I apologize for my post reminding you of those people and making you feel frustrated. However, I really don’t think it’s fair for you to quote the one little part of my post where I mention queerphobia and accuse me of perpetuating a horrible negative attitude about being queer, when the entire rest of the paragraph that you cut out was about how queerness is awesome and different types of it should be accepted and celebrated. That makes me sad and a little upset because I’m really not like that at all and I make it a point not to be.

Anyway I live in Texas, which is still a drat sight better than living in Florida but arguably second-worst at the moment in that regard, so I know how you feel with regard to the headlines. However, I must say I definitely have not had the issue of anyone making GBS threads on me for trying to keep their spirits up in spite of the unfortunate times. So if you haven’t yet found a place where you can be positive without people chewing you out about it, keep looking because they’re out there! I’d like to say that I appreciate you for your commitment to that positive outlook. Don’t let anyone change you! :)

I had to go check to see what was on the list for Steam GotY, and lol:

-Baldur's Gate 3
-Lethal Company
-Resident Evil 4 Remake + Separate Ways DLC
-EA Football Club '24
-Hogwart's Legacy

I think it's less lingering salt and more "most of the top games of the year aren't available on Steam," since FC24 being on here is certainly a choice, lol. Just going on gut reaction, I don't think Wizard Game is beating out BG3 or Lethal Company, but who knows anymore
