  • the thing with microsoft is that they went on a buying spree not too long ago so they own a bunch of studios now

    bethesda? activision? blizzard? mojang? double fine? those are all microsoft now.

    if you want to boycott microsoft gaming, as is asked by the BDS movement, you must boycott all that they own and publish. that’s not just halo and forza, it’s also the recent oblivion remaster, psychonauts 2, minecraft, the ori games, doom…

    tho, of course, you can just pirate them







  • i mean, there are many transphobic opinions one may have which aren’t in conflict with “trans people are the gender they say they are”

    it’s often what comes after the dreaded BUT

    examples of transphobia (and enbyphobia) where this applies
    • trans women are women BUT they shouldn’t be allowed in female shelters if they get abused
    • trans men are men BUT kids shouldn’t be able to transition, they should wait until they’re 18
    • nonbinary people are nonbinary BUT we shouldn’t change language to reflect them since they are so marginal in society

    imo opinions like these are even worse than blatant bigotry, cause the people who say them often present themselves as safe and “allies”, so they’re much more pervasive and harder to ignore

    i mean, i’ve seen maaaaany posts about oblivion remastered (made by bethesda, who is owned by microsoft)

    as for ubisoft, yea, no one likes them, but ive seen very few people say they don’t like them because of the sexual assault cover up. for most people, it’s because of their bad games or their delisting of games (which are very good reasons to hate them, of course, but i still wish people talked more about the SA, it’s still a rampant problem…)
