Lmao, would blowing up an effigy of Hitler be racist towards Germans?
Conflating disgust towards and individual with disgust towards the race/religion/nationality that individual belongs to is such a transparent attempt to shed well aimed criticism.
This post seems merely borderline imo, but lemmy in general seems to be a lot more relaxed around misogyny than the progressive atmosphere would lead you to believe.
The silver lining is that while misogynistic posts get a positive balance of a few hundred upvotes; there are actually only a handful of people posting them.
I was considering playing hogwarts legacy a while back, I decided if I bought it I would donate double what I paid for the game to mermaids.
Whatever fraction of a share of the cost goes to Rowling and whatever fraction of that she uses to push her hateful agenda probably does less harm than mermaids does good.
Conceptually I view it as similar to putting sin taxes on things which are harmful to society but difficult to prohibit (alcohol, tobacco, unhealthy food etc.)
I wound up not buying it because there are other games to play from better franchises and my HP nostalgia isn’t all that strong, but I think this is a reasonable approach.
Immigrants get taxed the same way as you (or arguably higher if you factor the expense of becoming a citizen) but the state didn’t have to pay for all the schooling, healthcare or public services required to raise them into an adult.
They have taken less and given more.
