reactionary

People who use the word “reactionary” in this context may as well just say “I’m a communist.”

Right-wing commentators often use the book’s authoritarian “Big Brother” government as a comparison point in their criticism, likening the fictional surveillance state to real-world equality movements.

This person is either brain dead or deliberately misrepresenting the point. Perhaps both.

Later that month, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad reportedly told employees during a private Q&A that Rowling was “entitled to express her personal opinion on social media.”

Well how fucking dare they! What was that about 1984 again?

What exactly is wrong with being a reactionary when the alternative is "I agree: let's tear down everything that makes our society stable and prosperous".

"You're a reactionary!"
"... But reacting to what?"

Like "acting out," "reactionary" is one of those negative terms that carefully avoids mentioning what the speaker considers bad.

They are false charges, mental pollutants injected into English by malefactors speaking in bad faith.

just like "Nazis burned books!" never talks about exactly what books were burned, just how bad it was because Nazis did it.

Ok this is pretty ridiculous bruh.

He is not working on this game to ensure JK Rowling gets richer.

He works on this game because he is a game designer that works at this company.

Your argument to not buy the game is something I support but your argument here attacking him for working on a property created by Rowling is just bullshit.

I bet you that you have definitely worked at a company at some point in your life that has made some feminists richer.

Finding a new job in these current times is difficult.

I am sure you have worked in a company that has made a feminist richer.

We probably all have at some point with how many feminists there are in leadership roles in almost all corporations.

We aren't ideological zealots who refuse to work with people because we think their beliefs are fuckoff retarded. That's what progressives do.

"Why are we shooting at these Wehrmacht guys, most of 'em aren't even Nazis! The big Nazis are in Berlin!"

In most conflict, military or political, you don't get to choose your targets. They are called targets of opportunity, and you usually want to fire on them.

Yes, Rowling is a dumb ho, a useful idiot, to the extent that she isn't part of the feminist cancer. I won't support her (working for her, as opposed to defending her, is a side issue). But she is nowhere near the most dangerous one.

If Troy Leavitt did run an anti-SJW YT channel, then I quote Winston Churchill: "If Hitler invaded Hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons."

To the extent he is one of us, we defend him.
