Regarding Hogwarts Legacy and the transgender community part 2 · 7:16pm Feb 16th, 2023
I'll just drop this here:
I don't think it's against this site's rules to reply to someone's blog post in my own blog post. Don't reply to the guy who made the post, he'll probably just delete your comments and use that as further justification for his beliefs. Good thing I was expecting my posts to be deleted because they were. Now I know the chances of someone checking my blogs after seeing my name in the deleted comments is slim to none, but I figure I should give people the full story. Now it is his platform, he's in his right to delete stuff there. And now this is my platform, where I won't delete posts I disagree with. Yes, I'm aware he has several hundred followers and I barely have 14 as of this post.
There's not a whole lot more I can say that I haven't already said in my previous blog post and within that screenshot. Since then I have picked up the game. I have to run it on medium settings on my PC and there are some technical hiccups at times, but I have enjoyed the game more than I was expecting. This isn't a review so I won't focus much more on my experiences playing the game. However, this whole drama has strengthen my resolve to have little to nothing to do with the transgender community anymore. Like with pretty much any movement that started with good intentions, bad actors and narcissists take over.
In a nutshell, wokeness hurts the very people it's supposed to be helping.
The extremism from the allies and activists is actually helping to create more transphobes. Of course extremists will never see their actions as such or even go into "the ends justify the means". Quite frankly, I'm tired of getting attacked by both sides. I'm tired of the shouting matches. I'm tired of how much drama there is over a video game. I am just so done with this shit. I cannot ensure that my money never ever goes to any bigots or unethical people. When I get a new phone, I'm not going to go through hoops to make sure it wasn't made by child labor in a sweatshop. I'm not going to question if my KFC meat was made in a cruel way or not.
There's all kinds of problems in the world. We can only care about so much of it at a time. Naturally I care the most about the problems that involve me. I know there's homeless people around and all that kind of stuff. Yet it's not realistic to expect me to deeply care about each and everything wrong in today's world. I can't force people to care about transgender issues, yet the toxic allies and activists try to force it. They chose to die on this ant hill of a video game.
It's really depressing. I'm stuck between toxic transgender people plus allies and actual transphobes. There is middle ground where neither of that is an issue but it's not as easy to find. Plus being in the middle gets me shit from the other sides especially the left who sees not being on their side as being on the oppression side.
Please, just think about what you're trying to do. There are bad ways to try to do good things. Think about what kind of transgender ally, if you consider yourself one, that makes you if you ignore transgender people like me and act like I'm part of the problem for not being the stereotypical woke transgender person.
Very good points.
