"expeliamus the trans community" is not a sentence I thought I'd ever hear

[@Armydillo62o]

I think the problem with the HP game is that JK will publicly say "if you buy this game then you're giving me money which I will use to continue to be transphobic" I think that's what "the line" that Major mentions is. She's so proud of being a shithead and wants everyone to know it. So nobody can really claim ignorance about her transphobia, she doesn't want you to be. So I feel like people are more vocal about this game specifically because JK is so vocal. Nestle isn't out here running campaigns for more workplace atrocities.

@Matthew Brooks As someone whose first experience with Fire Emblem was blue hair sword guy in Melee that only spoke Japanese lemme list out some of the best ones you can play as a beginner and what you might find appealing in them: *Fates (FE14)-* This one's great for fans of all kinds because you get three stories of varying difficulty in one: Birthright's the easiest, you could be running on 20 minutes of sleep and still clear maps without any issues; Conquest is pretty tough even when you get some more experience under your belt but it's still enjoyable nonetheless; Revelation is middle of the road but be prepared to deal with the kookiest map gimmicks out there *Sacred Stones (FE8)-* The story on this one is kinda whatever but you still meet some cool characters and the gameplay is the next easiest in the series after Birthright *Blazing Sword (FE7)-* Very good game all-around. Nothing too tough nor too easy, enjoyable story, and fun characters. It even has Hector in it! Who doesn't like Hector? *Awakening (FE13)-* A lot of the stuff Awakening lets you pull off with pairing up makes you feel like a monster on the battlefield, and if there's a character that you really like, this game WILL let you marry them! It lets you experiment with skills even more than Fates does too, so you can really go all out and make everyone insanely good if you wanted to. As for the games not released outside of Japan, Genealogy of the Holy War (FE4) is probably the most popular. It has really cool characters and story, but the maps are also HUUUGE (like, 4 GBA maps stacked end-to-end huge) so you might only be able to complete it one map at a time (it is only 10 chapters tho so you don't have to sweat it). And uhh if you already played some of the ones I listed then uhh not my fault 🤓 still hope this helps you decide on which ones you should play next tho

I definitely get the social media activism angle about the wizard game, but at least most of the discourse I've seen about it has been "oh yeah there's a bunch of weird shit actually in the game" not just "oh you're giving jk Rowling money"

[@trikshotgames6840]

Like what ?

[@novabunny007]

0:16 2022 GOTY: Tunic (I think this may actually be my #1 favorite game ever) 1:51 Personally I prefer Fwob doing playthroughs where the person with the controller is blind, and the other person knows/knows a little about the game to give a guiding hand where needed. Yes even to the extent where I'm one of the people who would prefer to see the Elden Ring playthrough be a mess where Cade is constantly lost instead of sprinting from point A to point B to get items X and Y. I know Cade has said "The people say they want that but don't really want that," but as one of the few fans who watched the entirety of Major playing Bayonetta. A playthrough where he is horribly lost and engages with almost none of the game mechanics and still found it funny so I think I can say I want that. 6:44 Major: "But what if you acc- what if you do it accidentally?" *Dad laughs* Cade: "How do you accidentally romance a child?" 19:54 Cade: "You cannot cast expelliarmus- -without expelliarmus'ing the trans community." Can't wait for these two to show up in the next comp (lol, lmao) that comes out in 2025. 12:12-onward: My personal thoughts on issues like these is that because it is so far removed from the source disparaging anyone who buys the Harry Potter game or eats at Chik-Fil-A or whatever for that alone. These choices tend to be an individual's choice if they want their money to go a certain way or not, and you could be doing better things by supporting the causes you believe in rather than attacking anyone who might be seen as opposing you. Mod the game to include trans iconography everywhere and get popular streamers to use it, use the game to fund charity streams for the trans community like Dad mentioned at 13:45, and if you really wanna go far put a totally legal version of the game that just so happens to be easily accessible with all that stuff in it. Or literally just donate time/money to the Trevor Project or something or even something as simple as a friend's T payment. Also on supporting media I've been trying to type more comments here to support the videos getting picked up by the algorithm to support FWOB. Please bear with me and my inability to speak concisely/look forward to more multiple paragraph comments on future videos from me. If you read this far here's a personal story I have on media exposure or whatever. My profile picture that you see is a commissioned piece of work that I paid for with my own money. It turned out extremely well and the artist was very easy to work with. Unfortunately, I later found out after all was said and done that the artist who made this pfp has views that I disagree with quite hard. Once I found out I decided not to support the artist anymore (which was just unfollowing on twitter and not considering buying my art from them with the money I don't have) but that doesn't mean I have to erase the work that they did, since it exists separate from them and doesn't reflect any of the reasons I decided not to support the artist anymore. That said some nights it gets to me a little knowing something I really like and use to represent myself online has a bit of tainted history/lore (idk the most correct word) but then I remember that it literally is just so far removed from me and the art I shouldn't care.

[@kopakanuva566]

Major being a true crime girlie makes SO much sense

[@Rednose1234]

A big chunk of the anti HP game stuff comes down to her outright stating that she views the continued success of Harry Potter as support of her views. I definitely agree that it's not going to her her bank account at all. It's a step further than most other cases where it's simply a creator or whatever saying something awful because she explicitly views it as encouragement and acceptance of her views. Also people are pretty suss at anyone who wants to play a game about putting down a slave rebellion with blood libel as a trope

[@clarambrosia9834]

i doubt anything will change her views at this point. even if it sold zero copies she would just blame it on cancel culture or whatever

[@Rednose1234]

@@clarambrosia9834 Yeah, she's got terminal terfism. I think the biggest thing we can hope for is making supporting transphobia by working with her a bad business move and also demonstrate that her views are fringe but that's a pipe dream as long as people are unaware/don't give a shit

I mean with the whole hogwarts game jk Rowling said that she considers anyone who buys the game a supporter of her and her views, so I wouldn’t say it’s the same as if a different person was behind the game Edit: and even if you ignore that she’s transphobic and actively funds anti trans legislation, the lore of the new hp game (and the og series) are full of anti semitism and racism. like the plot of the new game is that you need to stop the anti semitic stereotype race from having an uprising that would get them equal rights 💀

[@alexshafer7374]

As somebody who's played every Fire Emblem, 3 Houses was a complete snoozer. Even fans self-admittedly only played it for the story/characters (why're you playing Fire Emblem for the writing?). Avoiding spoilers, they do some fun stuff with the maps and enemies that's unlike any of the other games. The writing's still not exactly Shakespeare, but it's at least ridiculous enough to be fun because everybody's a complete weirdo freak while the MC's just a normal guy/girl. It's just a goofy game that's focusing on gameplay first. Highly recommend if you like Fire Emblem and especially if you were disappointed by 3 Houses. I'm having a lot more fun with Engage, personally. Use Yunaka. Daggers are busted, thief is a good combat class for some reason now, and her personal skill is probably the best in the game.

[@reguba3534]

I was rolling my eyes at Engage until I realized it was just campy, and then I started having way more fun with the characters. Gameplay is solid too, but I have no taste, because I liked Three Houses anyway

Comment

[@lordpent]

I enjoyed Three Houses maddening but I'm also a slight masochist type gamer so it's definitely hit or miss. To comment on Dillon's fortress knight challenge, there's pretty much always a way to turtle through in Fire Emblem, but the incentive against it is that it takes super long. Maybe it has a higher success rate than a speedy strategy, but there's not much point if the real time spent is more.

[@rex_yaldabaoth]

See, as a trans and non-binary person, i'm not buying the game, because not only does it look shit, fuck jk rowling. But am I gonna judge someone else for buying the game? Nah, of course not, as long as they're not weird about it. I've seen a few people be like "Well, to spite trans people because how dare they not like this author, i'm gonna buy 10 copies" and like, I think that's kinda weird? Will judge someone for that one. But if you just wanna buy the game or whatever, it's cool.

[@dead.darth.vader.]

I was a trans person on the fence but I just wanted to play the dumb nostalgic kids game. The expeliamus joke did it. Im buying it. But you guys sum up my feelings on why it doesn't matter. She's always gonna have money and it not having a game sell well changes nothing. She'll still have her platform and all the money we have already given her. And politicians doing writing the anti trans laws don't care who buys a video game. Also what Dillion said.
