You want to know what I thought was an even bigger boon on the whole "anti-trans/left" PR front? There was a stream a few days ago where Silver responded to the situation when it was first blowing up. And in tears, she pleaded with the people doing this that they stop doing it. Because (to paraphrase) "All you are doing is creating hatred. And so when people think of LGBT issues and people, they will remember that hatred, and respond with hatred of their own. It has to stop, because the only way you can change peoples minds are with kindness."
And how did they respond to this? By increasing the bullying, the harassment, roping her mom into it as well (but not her brother. Funny that), and saying that she was "weaponizing cis-woman tears" to attack trans people.
You know damn well tons of people who had been on the fence saw that, and the response. And It doesnt take a rocket surgeon to know that Silvers fear will ring true. And as someone who is more supportive of those issues than most on this forum, the only thing I can say is: They did it to themselves.
As a gay guy myself, I hate being grouped up with the alphabet group just by virtue of my sexual preference. What started off as a movement to get some basic civic rights, devolved into whatever this shit is.
I don't agree with the pronoun hysteria. I don't agree with people pushing the limits and harassing others for just thinking differently. Hell, I'm so tired of every major corporation pandering and virtue signaling just because it's trendy.
What happened with Silvervale and Hogwarts Legacy in general has made me feel severely displaced. It's a bunch of lunatics who shouldn't have had a platform in the first place.
Of course, I'm not allowed to have this opinion on sites like Reddit, because it would be quickly labeled as a -phobia. It is what it is, I guess.
I wouldn’t know directly, but my fiancé is a bisexual woman so I hear about it second hand from her. She also gets turned off by all of the extreme Trans stuff (especially when they go after kids, which moves her from “annoyed” to “stark raving mad”). And she can say with confidence that she has suffered more hate from SJWs than she ever did from the Evangelicals.
Which is a rather impressive feat when you think about it.
