in my friend groups, quite a few people are binging hogwarts legacy at the moment.
most of them are trans. nobody is outraged. they just have jk blocked on twitter. they’re still potter fans.
there’s an obsessive hate in a lot of trans communities that nobody talks about. the “you like this book series so you’re a terf!” type mentality is really tiresome.
right? there’s more outrage than is really worth it. just don’t participate in it if you don’t like it. instance blocking is a thing now on lemmy I’m fairly sure.
it’s why I’ve stayed since the initial huge migration from reddit. I find myself caring more about interacting with other commenters.
I never did that on reddit because comment sections just kinda felt like battlefields or playgrounds rather than discussions.
Why is it that signal users are so… obsessive? it’s just an encrypted messaging app. Not the second coming of christ.
I think I’m at a point where I don’t care what appeals to kids. I shouldn’t have to miss out on stuff I like cause a kid “could” be interested in a flavor I also like.
“But kids like fruity flavors!” OK? and what do I care? I’ve never seen anything marketing ecigs towards children.
That’s on the kid’s parents. not me. I’m a legal adult and I showed my ID and bought my stuff. Parents need to be present if they don’t want their kids hooked on stuff. And keep their kids outta adult spaces.
I don’t see the need to make it more complicated than that.
Agreed. Education is the way to move forward. Banning it just creates more problems and solves none.
they think prohibition works. it never does. History always repeats itself.
don’t waste your time on them.

the comment sections in posts like these are starting to read like reddit. and that makes me kinda sad.
Please no rewards. This is not reddit. I think a donation system would be much better way to go about it.
Let the content and conversations just happen. It’s more organic that way.
It is pretty sweet. The fediverse. It’s nice that we can all hang out. ☺️
amazing. the very first line told me everything I need to know about what kind of person you really are.
“those trans people don’t act the same way as me, so they’re obviously wrong.”
grow up, man. not everyone is going to agree with your weird victim-obsessed ideals.
