That is factually incorrect. Is science transphobic?

The trans argument is completely circular and devoid of any logic. Trans activists will claim gender is a social construct when you bring science however will continue to wear makeup, dresses and long hair in an effort to fit within said social norms. Is THAT the true definition of a woman? Is "womanhood" an article of clothing you can throw on one day after waking up? Lmfao.

In case you have forgotten, here is the definition of a woman or female:
Biology. of, relating to, or being a person with a certain combination of sex characteristics, commonly including two X chromosomes in the cell nuclei, a vagina, a uterus and ovaries.

This is why the idea of "inclusivity" doesn't work.

For example, if I saw that "Brony" who instigated the firing of that LRG employee in a restaurant, I'd feel pretty sick. In fact, I wouldn't be able to finish my meal.

It's almost like that scene in Seven... We've become so accustomed to degeneracy, that we're now at a stage where we encourage it as being the new "normal"... Well, it's not normal.



If a woman looks like a woman, and has all the (biological) characteristics of a woman, then she's a woman.

Anyone who refutes that is refuting reality.

If I wear a black face, that doesn't mean that I am black.

Likewise, a man who dresses as a woman isn't a woman.

Did my part

[Drizzlehell]

Why is everyone so horny for this game anyway? I haven't followed its development because I'm not a fan of Harry Spotter but I remember that the developer behind it only made some garbage Disney tie-in games up until now.

 

[Hugare]

From the videos that I've seen, looks like a 7/10 game. A worse Assasins Creed clone. Or maybe I'm too tired from that open world bloat.

Game will sell amazingly regardless. Open world Hogwarts is a recipe for success that I'm baffled that they havent tried before. I have friends that havent played a game in years, but will play this game just because of their childhood nostalgia.

And I couldnt care less about this whole circus regarding cancel culture and etc.

So tired of this shit.

 

[The_Mike]

Anyone who gives WB money up front for a PC port is an idiot.

Anyone who pre orders a game can be considered an idiot.

It's a digital game. They don't run out of keys.

The same applies to physical pre orders though.

No one knows if the game is good, or if its a mess of a game. Is it worth pre ordering a game for some silly cosmetics if the game turns out bad?

I never pre order anyway, and my gf, while being very hyped for this game, don't mind waiting a year to get the time exclusive playstation content.

By then the game would potentially be cheaper

 

[balls of snow]

While Kyuuji has a slave send her/him ( i really don't know anymore..) a copy of Hogwarts, sidestepping the fact that she would never buy it, but eh if it's a gift..

Mods rolling the carpet for her impressions and confirmation that there's problems in the game

Plays the fuck out of it and then judges anyone in the OT for saying it's remotely good

Who knows, we might even get a few mods banned and chased off EERA if he/she doesn't get her way by getting the "crowd" primed for a witch hunt like they did with Cyberpunk 2077.

Amazing how the cnut is now silent now the 2077 is doing well. Dont even see her saying anything on edgerunners too. Too busy sucking Camerons dcik for avatar 2.

You use examples that haven't happened as of yet, but if they do we can revisit these. The other one is a phenomenon that is historically and currently being studied and understood. The examples you give are more so simple examples of how words work, because names of things can change...vs the trans example of man and woman is more of an issue social sciences and how categorizations that we created can be more inclusive. Being trans isn't just about medical transitioning, most people transition socially long before they get on blockers or have surgery.

White women identifying as black. Nobody took her seriously because it’s plain out stupid.

Just like a guy who thinks he’s a women.

I hope I can fully enjoy this without understanding the license. I like magic and adventure enough.

Me and the gang after we just secured our pre order copies of Hogwarts:

Is that daniel redcliffe?

 

[ikbalCO]

Jesus christ, I mean OK I get it HP and all that... but can you at least wait for the reviews?

You are missing the fact that nobody truts the spineless gaming journos when it comes to reviewing this game fair and square. So, thats that

 

[Windle Poons]

Right. What’s this from? Must have missed this one…

This is what happens when you have a morally bankrupt society and a lack of guiding principles throughout your life.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

I just hope against hope that GAF’s OT for the game will not have a “fuck you Era/Kotaku etc” every other post. Otherwise our discussion won’t be, nor read better than on those other outlets.

This will just rile up the usual suspects among the review outlets. You just know that articles with headlines such as “The list of the most preordered games of 2023 is problematic, and here’s why” basically wrote themselves the minute this tweet was sent.
The review thread for this game will be interesting.

Is that daniel redcliffe?

First thing I thought, too

 

[GymWolf]

What's the benefit of buying the game in advance when the state of the game will be known within hours of release? Sleep through the midnight unlock and check impressions/chatter when you wake up.

You pay less.

Usually the price of keys on pc get higher the more you come close to release date.

You are not gonna buy the game at the same price i bought it for black friday with a huge deal.

And even some physical shop do discounts just because you preorder.

I payed all my ps3-ps4 games 50 euros instead of 70 just by preordering them in a shop who had this promotion.

Do you think all the people preorder for no reason? In the majority of case is about saving money for something you are almost certain to like (in this case a triple A harry potter game for hp fanboys).

Not him? He looks like his twin brother.

 

[Azurro]

And let's not forget that preorders often come with a discount.

The more you get close to the release date, the more you pay for digital on oc, i bought hogwarts for the boack friday for an incredible price, good luck finding the same price at day one...

Is that daniel redcliffe?

Don't think so, he looks too tall to be Daniel Radcliffe.

 

[daffyduck]

LiLo hosting SNL.

Can we at least agree that the face is twins material?

Too tall? He is like the shortest in that group...

 

[qwertz12345]

This is what happens when you have a morally bankrupt society and a lack of guiding principles throughout your life.

This is why we need good role models... Good "father figures".

I know that we've had our debates on Tate... But this is why we need good people in good positions of authority, who can lead people and not make them go astray.

I'm not a Christian.... But we basically need "Jesus" (along with his disciples) who will institute changes, and mould society for the better.

Even Plato said something similar... We need capable administrators who will run society for the betterment of its individuals.

Since it all starts with the family, we need better fathers and mothers.

Apart from luke stephens and sacred symbols squad - whom i trust a lot - i havent heard anyone looking forward to playing this game.

Gaming journalist/ personalities especially in us always come from the same bacground and they were very rarely captain of their highschool football team. They are often choose activism as a character feature and root for whatever is popular.

I was randomly watching some kinda funny videos last night (god knows why) and i heard one of the guys saying he wont touch this game because in this game you can torture a student etc. I mean this is a game where you can m become a dark wizard.

Same people dont mind punching a suffregate in rdr 2 or killin npcs in gtas and whatnot.

So no. I have two eyes and two ears. I have seen and heard enough to pre order this game.

Is the price discounted on Steam in other regions? Its full price on my store and the US which means they did pay full price. Return policy doesn't apply to third party keys bought outside of Steam either.

 

[Azurro]

Can we at least agree that the face is twins material?

Too tall? He is like the shortest in that group...

And that still makes him too tall to be Daniel Radcliffe, the dude is like 1.65 m. (5'5")

 

[GymWolf]

I was talking about external stores, yeah, steam always has full price.

Let's just say that an harry potter game for an hp fan like me is 99,99% something that i'm not gonna regret and i'm making a pc build capable of bruteforcing even most broken games (in the unlucky case performance are shit)

If we speak solely about steam, then yeah, no need to do that (never preordered a game on steam in my life), i only preorder when i have a substantial discount.

I agree that getting a significant discount is a good reason to pre-order. The thread is about the game being the top seller on Steam so I thought that full-priced pre-orders were assumed.

 

[GymWolf]

Yeah i just responded because a lot of people was asking why preordering something digital in a more broad way.

 

[Roman Empire]

Moved on from HP a long time ago but this puts a smile on my face. It looks quite nostalgic and I'm willing to give it a try because combat seems genuinely fun in this game.

 

[Azurro]

Come on! Alright, I was wrong, but to be fair, the guy was probably using platform shoes in that shot.

Huh. Didn't know that! I certainly hope that's the case, otherwise pre ordering a digital copy is just stupid.

 

[RoboFu]

Is that daniel redcliffe?

That’s the only person you recognize? Lol
There’s literally at least 5 well known actors there.

Pre-ordering games on PC without knowing the state of the port at launch, ouch.

We have refunds.

 

[Interfectum]

You're not meant to sympathise with the serial killer bro

One of the main characters in that movie sees the same things he does in society. It's about the overall degradation of society and if it's worth saving.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

I dont think GAF will be banning people off the forum for saying they'll buy it..

Bit of a difference between the two sites.

They did that shit? Really?

 

[belmarduk]

The thing is i dont think the trans or lgbt community majority even feel the way the extremist on era do. I have plenty of gay friends who are very excited for this game, even one of my friends who underwent a transition a few years ago is excited. Era likes to think that they are the voice of the marginalized in the gaming community, but thats not the case at all

We don't. Lots of us love Harry Potter and resent the lunatics MORE than everyone else does because they claim to speak for us.

Do I need to feel bad to be hyped for hogwarts legacy? Because iam about to explode waiting for it.

Nice. Good to see, especially when groups of people are actively trying to stop this game from being a big hitter.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...fying-as-black-to-upset-people-i-was-being-me

Race and gender aren't 1:1 comparisons but both have been fairly fluid historically. Irish, italians, north africans were not once considered white but due to the term itself being fairly flexible different groups are and aren't considered certain races depending on how the categorization changes. It reminds me of the people who still call pluto aa planet even tho the scientist who require these categorization all come to an agreement. Most doctors and gender studies have an agreement...it's only people who have no dog in the race or refuse to look past "blue is for boys pink is for girls" who keep this conversation in the forefront...

Also you name is MOTM and profile pick is Kid Cudi who goes by they them...I'm sure you understand the concept more than you letting on, but doubling down on "what was can only be what is" mind set is consistently losing historically.

 

[qwertz12345]

That's pure madness! The point is to change people's views, not to declare a war to anybody, including your allies. They're a great reading about it: What white people can do next, by Emma Daribi. I mean whaaooo!
Sure GAF is not perfect, but as a gay non believer I never felt in danger... on Ree I did! I used a lot the hashtag boycottqtar, not to blame people watching soccer but to inform what is wrong in Qatar and how politicians can't pretend it's okey. Politicians should always be the target, not the users... it's both dumb and dangerous!

I am Harry Potter fan not huge as some peope but i have read the books 2 times, watched all movies and played some older pc games. I will definitely buy hogwarts legacy, it looks amazing.
