I googled it. Unfortunately Tommy Wiseau is probably 10-20 years too young to be DB Cooper. I don’t make the rules.

Please don’t seed bomb unless you’re careful to only sow native plants, otherwise you’re just part of the problem.
circlebreaker
Seed bombing municipal property isn't nearly as funny if it's not weed though.
magitek
The rich will just hire a company to counter-bomb their lawn with chemicals that will kill your new plants and every insect along with them
victell
If you kill all the other seed bombers, you can be the whole problem.
tr26
“Crop” seeds are almost never appropriate, they’re likely to choke out the native plants. If you want to plant food, do that. Don’t bomb.
ConservationTime
Good point. Seems like messing with the ecosystem via 'bombings an invitation to trouble in multiple ways.

Are you saying that kudzu is a problem plant when thrown on your enemies lawn?

That philosopher who died laughing cause a donkey was eating figs, so he told someone to give it some wine.
Eniff
Greek Stoic philosopher Chrysippus died of laughter after making a joke about a donkey he saw eating figs.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
Huh. This is gonna send me down a rabbit hole trying to find out how we get the word "stoic" from someone who died giggling.
Eniff
Stoicism is a branch of philosophy.

if it weren't full of slavery apologia and antisemitism, I'd agree. but it is and I'm ok with people ruining that for others

Best way to play a game without supporting the creators
ihateimgurffs
Game seems to be good. Sells like hotcakes. JK got her fixed fee anyway. Twitter echo chambers are obviously not the real world?
dblaikie
How do you know it was a fixed fee?
ihateimgurffs
It is a google search away m8. Licenses are fixed fees, otherwise she would have a share or royalties, which she doesn't.
dblaikie
I don't think the licensing/royalties contract is known/public. All I could find was speculation:

https://winteriscoming.net/2023/02/07/j-k-rowling-make-money-harry-potter-legacy/
IMainReinhardt
Because, as far as I've tead, she was paid for a license and not through sales. Whether the game is a success or failure she still got hers

Got a link? All I can find is speculation (& happens to speculate that she does get royalties)

TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
The number of people who have come out of the woodwork on these posts 'just asking questions' about JKR is uncanny.
NoThymeForPuns
Wait.. why is it bad to ask questions?
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
Because generally the people I am thinking about are not asking in good faith but trying to push the idea she did nothing wrong. look up /1

It's a chance for them to push their bigotry through this and pretend that's not what they're doing
LucienTheLuckless
Well I'm more than willing to admit I was just dumb. Up to now I thought all she did was transphobic tweets and didn't know about the...
LucienTheLuckless
Antisemitism and even lobbying!
yifin
She puts it into practice as well. She opened up a shelter that excludes transwomen.
thegrimreaver
It's really disingenuous to act like everyone who buys the game is donating the entire cost directly to anti-trans activism.
ChaoticGoodTransGirl
it's disingenuous to act like thats the only criticism, or that it doesn't still financially support bigotry. jkr said herself that she
ChaoticGoodTransGirl
assumes every penny given to her suppors her views, and she uses that money to fund hate. even contributing a penny to that harms people.
thegrimreaver
She can believe whatever she likes. Doesn't make it true. If it bothers you so much, donate 2x to pro-trans activism.
kantaloupe
Because plenary indulgences are better than just not doing the hurtful thing?

I'm trans and poor, i already donate extra money i have to bipoc trans people in mutual aid when i am able

JKR wasn't even the entire problem on this, iirc they had pro-gamergate and alt-right staff also working at Avalanche, pretty sure they 1/
MisterFluffi
Not to even begin on the Jewish stereotype being the villain, and them adding items to emphasise the relation between them instead of avoid.
ChaoticGoodTransGirl
it shows in all the antisemitic dog whistles and slavery apologia in the game
satanslittleposter
got rid of at least one of them (Troy Leavitt).
PerrinAybara564
Unless it's changed, the game is about the ruling class destroying the working class after they revolt from their working conditions.
PerrinAybara564
The Goblins (slaves) are revolting, and we need you ("rich" land owner) to stop them from rebelling and return the escapees to their owners.
satanslittleposter
We don't even need to start on the depiction of goblins across the HP franchise... let alone Legacy's context.
copperdomebodhi
I thought "the goblins are masked antisemitism" was overreaching ... until someone pointed out the star of David on Gringotts' floor.
kantaloupe
There's also the goblin artifact that's a shofar horn, and that the plot of the game is essentially about Blood Libel.
Bearjahud
And the year of the goblin uprising being the same year as an actual pogrom, and the fact that the more evil goblins have bigger noses ??
MechKelly
Short, fat, big nose, big ears, bad teeth, control the banks. All Jewish stereotypes from the past.
pip1
Hm. I always figured it was maybe unconscious. But then again, the movie gobbos look like 14th century Christ killer propaganda
ChaoticGoodTransGirl
unconscious doesn't really change the nature in the final product when consumed by an entire generation tbh
DietCokeIsMyDrugOfChoice
That's why we need to be educated bc a lot of this stuff IS unconscious - unconscious biases. We can't do better unless we know better.
pip1
Absolutely
tr26
It’s an Australian star and she hasn’t shown antisemitic tendencies like her bullshit TERF positions.
tr26
(It’s filmed in Australia House which has a 6 pointed star in the floor, representing the 6 original states)
HootSloot
The portrayal of goblins is pretty antisemitic but pales in comparison to antisemitism of the new game.
copperdomebodhi
Googled "australian star". No such shape unless it's on page 55 on the results. That's a star of David.
tr26

DietCokeIsMyDrugOfChoice
Regardless of where it's found or what it's supposed to represent, it looks like the Star of David ??♀️
LeifTheUnlucky
And it's use in the film alongside the other stereotypes doesn't weigh in at all huh?
J4nein4ne
I'm so tired of the "separate the art from the artist" argument. It DOESN"T APPLY when the art is actively harmful!
secondtalon
Separate the art from the artist. Hold the artist accountable for their words and actions. Make them pay. Money works, but blood'll do too.
pip1
It most def doesnt apply when you give the fuckwits money. Get a pirat hat, dammit
eeps
It also makes more sense after the artist is dead and no longer being actively harmful themselves.
thegrimreaver
So, no one is allowed to watch Firefly and Serenity because Joss Whedon is shitty, and Alec Baldwin is a MAGA-supporter?
eeps
Everyone must decide for themselves if they will support an artist once they know what that artist does with their $ and fame.
Qpmz234
I mean, I'm willing to bet it is, but what about the art is harmful? Every argument I've heard has been about the artist. That said, (1/2)

I'm not buying it anyway out of principle, just curious since this is a fresh take from what I've seen. (2/2)
lostpasswordforaccountsentaticketishouldbebacksoononmymainsoon
she is being paid royalties and she actively campaigns against trans rights both vocally and financially
Qpmz234
See this is what I'm talking about. This is not saying the art is harmful, this is saying you *can't* separate the art from the artist (1/2)
Qpmz234
Which whilst a valid opinion, is one I disagree with and am also sick of people passing off as the art itself being harmful. (2/2)

It's up to us to educate, not berate. Unless they know and don't care in which case fuck 'em
sfrinlan
"Educate instead of berate" is a good idea, so long as we're all teaching, not just putting the burden on the already oppressed.
Aldante92
I agree wholeheartedly, it's why teaching CRT is so necessary. The oppressed have had to fight the cover-ups and propaganda against them for
