Hyperbole and bad faith arguing is not compelling anyone to support your cause or your point of view
Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion

Literally hundreds of games, movies and books out there not made by a monster leading the anti trans movement but you’re still unwilling to give up on one video game to show support for trans people. They are absolutely right about you, nothing hyperbolic about what they said.

I haven’t played the game nor do I want to. What I said is still true nonetheless. If you want to convince someone to boycott a piece of media, being a presumptuous dickhead is the exact opposite way you accomplish that.

I am trans myself fucker. Someone who has to live with the vile shit terfs are spewing. Either way, someone disagreeing with you is not ““performative moral grand standing””".

This level of hyperbole makes you sound like the MAGA crowd, dude

Hyperbole is when person asks you to not play one single video game to show support for trans people when you can easily play anything else instead. How dare they, so mean. Exactly like the fascists who support MAGA 🙄

Wow, that comment makes you look fucking dumb, not knowing what hyperbole means

Except the hyperbole in this case is comparing someone who has played “one single video game” as the same as kicking trans people down the stairs.
You get that right? The insufferability comes not from saying “please show support by not playing this game” but from saying “if you play this game, you are a bad person”.
