"The bad guys hate this, so buying it is a win for the good guys" has been a tried and true sales tactic since biblical times. Nothing fleeces a moron out of his money quite like aggressive tribalism.
It's very simple. Never buy anything simply because your enemy hates it. First consider whether the product is good and the seller deserves your money. If so, then angering wokies is simply a bonus.
Just buy what you like, and try your best not to fund the enemy. Don't buy things to fund grifters who pretend to be on your side. Especially don't buy things to anger others.
If you want something made by the enemy, wait and buy it used.
We even had Hogwarts sycophants here because troons complained not good enough for a game with a troon in it. I’m assuming they also bought overpriced shitty “chocolate” from DW to “own” Herseys
Don't get me started on JK "Men are the oppressor class" Rowling. I have a ~3500 word post about her that I never posted because I missed the Hogwarts Legacy launch and it was meant to be an attack on her to talk people out of buying that.
Anyone who bought that chocolate is a fucking retard. I was boycotting Hershey's since they fired all their unvaxxed employees, DW showed up over a year late over a non issue. The fact they celebrate women's day at all is bad, who gives a shit whether it's a real woman or not?
You’re preaching to the choir here. I’ve hated the majority of “mainstream books” because they have feminized every male protagonist. Harry Potter was no different in how the boys were inept and every positive male role model was killed off or retconned to be gay. Women love Harry Potter because of the implicit drama and feminist worshipping.
Were the books that bad? Last one I read was Order of the Phoenix and I remember it being kind of based, the villain is an authoritarian cat-lady cunt, Harry Potter starts an underground militia, etc.

It's annoying how many times I've had to say it, but the enemy of my enemy isNOTmy friend.
It's not complicated. It can be amusing to watch them fight. You can even agree on a specific topic. But never fool yourself that they're on your side, because they will turn on you in an instant.
This kind of thing has bothered me for a while. I’m fine with giving credit where it’s due but I think a lot of people’s desire for something in the modern era to just actually be good can overpower their common sense.
It's a film by Illumination, the genital warts of the animation industry.
I refuse to even entertain the idea of watching Hollywood garbage consulted by the one Nintendo guy who hates stories in video games.

Hogwarts Legacy didn't prove this already?

Obligatory plug for my boycott list, it needs some updating but was correct before the re-signing of #GenerationEquality pledges. - Please note I was boycotting Anheuser-Busch before TERFs told the tradright they could.

The entire series from book 1 was midwit men relying on smart wahmen like hermoine and retconned gays like dumbledore
That's such an odd take.
I wouldn't know, I never read HP.
I can't bring myself to suffer through that, and I've dragged my brain through women's studies textbooks.
But yes, like all entertainment, books have been co-opted by women to push their hateful agenda.
I still don't get why you keep giving free passes to Microsoft and Xbox
I won't issue a boycott I can't stick to myself. It would be hypocritical to ask others to do what I can't.
Aside from that, lack of genuine alternatives and owning far too many MS products already to change.

It’s the consumerist version of the Hegelian dialectic. Anita says boobs bad, we say boobs fine, and the “compromise” is less boobs.
Did you just explain the entire female gender in a sentence?
I thought I read they made Peach a boss bitch despite her historically being the damsel in distress.
There's an entire (official) trailer of her being the typical modern badass female you see in every other movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP-Qduvw9zY
From the trailers, it looks like the movie is girlboss Peach guiding reluctant comic relief Mario to rescue damsel in distress Luigi from Bowser.
