Saw a bunch of people doing 2024 Media Threads last year, so I think I'll do a 2025 Media Thread. I'll do my best to log everything that I started and finished this year.
Can this week stop being crazy busy yet? Please?

Someone defending their ability to love Harry Potter without supporting JK Rowling saying “if Toriyama was on the Epstein list, people could still love Dragon Ball”
1) that’s a hell of a hypothetical to suggest
2) based on how people reacted to Neil Gaiman this last year, I don’t know if I agree.

Hey, to let everyone know: I have been made aware by several people that my Twitter handle has been taken by someone impersonating me. They are soliciting in people's DMs.

“Never played it never will!” - Not the point.
“Garbage game, who cares.” NOT THE POINT!
“Only losers play it anyway.” NOT! THE! POINT!
The point is SOLIDARITY with trans people - specifically the trans women who are target by HP’s creator - and holding those who claim to be allies accountable!

And as much as I love the “Never played, never will” crowd in the replies… this isn’t about that right now.
This is about the integrity of those who DO PLAY IT and CLAIM to be allies.
This’ll be a check to see if those people and spaces are actually trans safe or if it’s just all lip service.

My videos are not a replacement for playing the games I talk about. They are supplemental. I very deliberately do not talk about everything so that YOU will feel compelled to play them.

Whenever I say this, people get Really Mad, but it's true. Same of any other art, too. You have to read the book, watch the film, see the painting, listen to the song, whatever.
I'm sorry, but watching a video about it on YouTube is not enough. You have not experience the art.

I saw "allies" buying Hogwarts Legacy with a variety of excuses. One said "this is an opportunity to talk to my kids about transphobia." Another referred to it as "Wizard Game," which was pretty much the unofficial dogwhistle for "I know I'm doing something wrong but I'm evading responsibility"

It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

Screen for traffickers and abusers, sure. Heck, screen for scammers, too.
But so many people who've served sentences for minor things like theft and possession can't get jobs. The black mark just disqualifies them of the bat. SW is often the only viable option.
Take that away, where do they go?
