I disagree with this take. Buying HP stuff won’t change anything. Not “it will change very little”. It will actually do nothing. If the whole world decided to stop buying anything that gave her money, it wouldn’t change her lifestyle at all. She already made enough money that she never has to consider it for her lifestyle. People might as well enjoy what they like and not have one more thing weighing on their mental health. Let people have their escapism.
Didn’t Hermione lead a campaign to liberate house elves but was laughed at by everyone until she dropped it?
Then Harry frees one elf and is considered a hero while the person trying to solve the systemic problems is a whiny bitch. She’s showing how she thinks about the world with that one.
Whether he’s part of ms-13 or not is irrelevant. If the government has such solid evidence, then he could surely stand trial. The character of the victim isn’t important. The complete disrespect of the constitution, the courts, and thus rule of law is what’s important.
I think the comic is incorrect. I think the fruit (not specifically an apple) had the knowledge of good and evil. That’s a lot less.
Disclaimer: I have no qualifications or really any business talking about this…
I think games aren’t the best kind of projects for open source. Some games are made open source after development ends which is cool because it opens up forks and modding (pixel dungeon did this). Most games require a single, unified, creative vision which is hard to get from an “anyone can help” contribution style. Most open source software are tools for doing specific things. It’s almost objective what needs to be done to improve the software while games are much more opinionated and fuzzy. So many times I’ve seen a game’s community rally behind a suggestion to address a problem and the developer ignores them and implements a better idea to more elegantly solve it. Most people aren’t game designers but they feel like they could be.
An exception to this are certain, rules-based puzzly games. Bit-Burner is an open source hacking game with relatively simple mechanics and it works well.
I also think that isn’t worth it. You’re still letting some rich moron’s actions have too much sway over your mental health. What you’re describing is the most tiny of marginal gains. Her IPs are already dying in relevance. Your energy would be better spent telling people about how cool some other thing is rather than how bad HP is. If someone loves HP and it makes them happy, I see no benefit to raining on their parade.
