As a Jew and a parent of a trans kid, I am having a lot of challenges with the gaming community’s acceptance of the new wizard game.

The creator of that IP is a gleeful anti-trans bigot. The game’s story is built around blood libel. And yet, outlets are still giving it huge play and content creators are conveniently ignoring the harm this game’s profits will directly contribute to.

Everyone needs to make their own choice, sure. But I am having a hell of a time not judging people.

Anti-Semitism is the point of the new wizard game.

this seems like a pretty big reach tbh

@animeirl @Futterish I've heard around that the convo is starting to heavily shift from "transphobia" to this because the former didn't really work

idk why people are still harping on this like any attempt to organize a boycott was half-assed and it's obviously failed. In fact, if anything it increased the game's publicity so with that in mind why continue to talk about it?

@animeirl @Futterish Considering how annoying the ADL is, and how the organization is basically one of the biggest useful idiot around, it might actually work this time

Someone else had a point; wouldn't it imply the goblins are against Jews?

@PhenomX6 @Futterish @animeirl I'm not actively following this, so I have no freaking clue

Me neither and I could give less of a shit, the people following this are the kind of people who sleep when there's a chemical leak in one state over that has the possibility to fuck over their water supply but get angry over a video game made by someone they hate.

the ufo shit is also a psyop to distract for this. They haven't even reported everything that's been released from those train cars yet. we have no idea how bad this is

@animeirl @PhenomX6 @Futterish @coolboymew backyard animals and pets are dying around where they told everyone "the odor" was safe to breathe

@meowski @PhenomX6 @Futterish @animeirl @coolboymew Doesn't that sound familiar.

hope nobody listened to the MSM lies about it being safe and instead evacuated the area

they did and then came back and smelled the crap and realized "this shit won't come out" and left again.

@PhenomX6 @xianc78 @Futterish @animeirl @coolboymew awful

like no joke that was a redpill to all of them that they absolutely got lied to since they also didn't get told exactly what the chemicals were.

@PhenomX6 @xianc78 @Futterish @animeirl @coolboymew the astounding thing is that they (allegedly) lit it on fire on purpose. at least if it was soaked into the dirt they could maybe dig most of it up and dispose of it safely, and yea the ground water would be poisoned, but it's going to be regardless.

i geuss all we can hope is that UV light from the sun can degrade whatever is on the surface and perhaps people can treat their soils and things with neutralizing chemicals

what happens when we eat food coming from those farms...

its also not far from the ohio river to this is potentially a lot worse than just affecting the surrounding area

some of it got into the river possibly for sure, the real fear too is gonna be possible acid rain in the coming weeks. Here they're saying they'll shut down access to the river if they detect it.

@PhenomX6 @xianc78 @Futterish @animeirl @coolboymew next question: why did the train derail. trains don't derail on their own

faulty train or track components caused by continuous cuts by the rail company to staffing, inspection, maintenance. saw a rail worker talking about how car inspection was recently cut in half. Works are also overworked so you have a bunch of exhausted overworked people forced to inspect each car in under 90 seconds now so ofc they are going to miss maintenance issues and stuff is eventually going to start falling apart

@animeirl @meowski @PhenomX6 @xianc78 @Futterish @coolboymew Exactly. I think that's why you're not seeing a lot of coverage about this. The so-called "voting for your own interests" party just completely fucked over a strike that would have helped solve this problem two months ago, and they have the microphones. If the Republicans weren't a bunch of kleptocrats that are happy playing bad cop for the Dems, they could eviscerate them over this.
