Exactly These fools think they are doing justice to all trans people when that isn't the case, for example me. I believe if anything they are doing more harm to usand help spreading the image that all trans people are like towards Hogwarts Legacy (which is also not true, for me, I don't care if you buy or play Hogwarts Legacy, it's your money so spend it however you'd like)
Are members of the Trans community coming out and saying something about this? I would regardless if a significant chuck aren't part of this, a lot of people think trans are doing this and it puts them in a extremely negative, intolerant and belligerent light.
Doxxing someone for playing a game will most likely hurt their case and draw people away from their side, alot of people boycotting the game are really good at making people hate them
My theory is it's on purpose. They don't want people to coexist and get along. They want violence and hate so they can make money off playing the victim at the cost of innocent lives.
Trans streamers are already starting to get harassed due to the hogwart debacle. Crazy part is that the people are claiming it’s the political right attacking their identity. These people always see themselves as the victims and never take accountability for their actions! It’s insane
Poor Silver, she loves the Harry Potter franchise and she gets harassed just for playing a game with her favorite franchise. It breaks my heart to see her cry and dealing with this type of harassment
It's sad that you could grow up watching or reading harry potter and being in love with the beautiful fantasy and magical world, and now you finally get a chance to have one of if not the best chance to actually be in that world and do what you want and live through it but suddenly you are seen as one of most vile people on the planet for just trying to fulfill a childhood dream
I don’t see how doxxing someone or their friends for playing a good video game helps or supports the boycott, this alone proves that this boycott and this whole campaign has a dark way of supporting this idea
J.K Rowling needs to seriously start suing people for defamation at this point. Twitch AND UA-cam should ban the accounts of every single person who took part in this targeted harassment. This is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.

Hi, trans person here. I kinda feel people are getting on my behalf for a video game. My brother got the game and I couldn’t care less, it’s a game. The fact people are doxxing random people just hurts us as a whole. I could care less if someone buys this game. Thanks for readings my 2 cents. Have a good day y’all
This whole situation that revolves around a video game got so big that mainstream media started talking about it on TV, and my grandpa started hearing about it. So I had to explain to him what was happening, why it happening, and why I and many others thought it was ridiculous. He agreed. Trans-acceptance was way beyond his time, but even he was able to understand that most trans people aren't out to hurt anybody and are just trying to live life like the rest of us in their own way.
The most insane thing about this whole situation is that Rowling doesn’t even have a real connection to the game. The extent of her connection to it is that she made Harry Potter. She may have been consulted on whether or not avalanche software and Warner bros had proper licensing, but that’s it. Harry Potter as an IP is owned by Warner Bros, at least the film rights (i don’t know about the books). She had no significant input to the game’s creation beyond licensing agreements and maybe some guidance to some of the plot or creative elements. This game has almost as much connection to J.K. Rowling as these doxxers have to their parents.
They already went too far when they harrassed Pikamee. Worse part is that she lives in Japan and is completely oblivious to the "issues" surrounding the game (good for her, tbh). She just wanted to be a wizard.
As much as I hate anime and japenese culture i am about to move these just over the fact that its more traditional and conservative and has less virtue signallers
@DixonYamowthe They did, some men were accused of witchcraft, working with Demons etc. And were burned at the stake. There were just a lot more women who were convicted than men.
@@lolstalgic9602 not if they go about it the right way 😂. Im talking about people stepping up and making everyone feel safe and accepted so we dont have idiots acting like this. It should never have come to this but sadly thats how it always is. When women wanted equal rights they couldn’t just ask for it they had to be violent as well.
I don't know why we live in a day and age where doxxing and harassment within the video game industry is just so common, these days. I mean really, how is that supposed to send a good message?
I really feel sorry for Silver. These haters have gone way too far with the hate, doxing and death threats. I fear that if a kid were to pick up a Hogwarts Legacy game, and a protester saw that kid picking up the game. That protestor would beat up that kid to prove a point. These protestors should be put in their place
The game literally has a trans character (Sirona Ryan that is, the innkeeper of Three Owls(?)). I don't even know what people are screaming about. And it's not even like doing this is harming Rowling in any way. People are acting as if boycotting a freaking game (which, btw, isn't even remotely related to her, isn't even set in her timeline; the actual HP books are wayyy in the future) is somehow going to affect Rowling in any way. All she owns, is the trademark to the HP franchise. Everything else is the devs. At this point it is having the reverse effect that what they seem to want- it is doing more harm than good. I will never understand humans jesus christ. God save us all. Or at least, Twitter.
The sad part is that smaller streamers can’t even play the game without getting attacked. No streamer should get attacked but at least the bigger streamers have a cushion to fall on. If you don’t already have a big audience you can’t take the risk
And people can't make videos to show how good the game is, it's mind blowing that they are controlling everything other people do and ruin their lives just because of one person
Its not easy to make content about this stuff so well done Optimus for tackling it. This is the type of stuff that happens when a society runs out of things to actually be upset about
At the end of the day if you choose to buy the wizard game you are not a bad person, and if you choose to boycott the game then there is nothing wrong with that either. What does make you a bad person is choosing to dox or harass people for doing either one. I hope Silvervale and her friends haven't been seriously hurt by the doxing.
Dude, I’m a silvervale fan, I started watching a lot of her stuff back in August I think (Can’t remember, bear with me) and she has always been an very good person and when I found out about this whole situation, I felt really bad for her. Needless to say, I really hope Silvervale gets the help and support she deserves; Wouldn’t want anything even worse to happen to her.
@@cassiebarber4669 I hear ya. In fact when I heard her cry in that stream clip, it hurt my very SOUL. I kid you not, I was literally like “Somebody hug her, please!”
One thing I've noticed about this huge wave of equality, is it isn't equality, it's just reversing the roles, equality should mean everyone is equal, not one person's issues above the others, idgaf if I'm canceled, it's just the truth, just look around, look at Johnny Depp, his life was ruined because no one cares about men, look at Silver, her life was ruined because no one cares about straight/cis people anymore, when everyone should be cared about equally, I fully understand that there's still many struggles going on in the other side, but that doesn't mean to make innocents struggle too just because they are of race/gender as the people making the other side struggle, were all equal, and as of now, no one's equal, one side will always be put above the other, and what people who dox or the "social justice" warriors do, isn't equal, it's just role reversing, when instead those "roles" should be removed entirely Idgaf if I've hurt your feelings in anyway, you know I'm right
honestly its the world today that makes me want robots to takeover tomorrow, because people can get together over a common enemy so why not an AI overlord?
For real. We live in a world where trans people have no less rights than cis straight whites but yet they want EVEN more rights. Like, they already have the (nonexistant) "right" to not be critisized, what more could they possibly want.
Me personally I’m done with any support for the LGBT. I never really supported it myself as I have my own worldview but I did tolerate them and treated them fairly as I would anyone. Slowly I went from tolerance, to ”They aren’t all like that”, to “Ok we got a serious problem here” and I bet that’s the case for most people. I fully broke off tolerance after the Ivan Provorov situation because that sent a message that our basic human rights are about to be put in the hands of these people. Still I don’t hate people who associate with that organization but I do stand against it and pity those that would follow them because it’s in no one’s best interest that they should have that much power.
@@HyperbolicArachnid my point is that certain group of people shouldn’t be so protected that stuff like this happens. It happens way too often regardless of what the majority say and their is always little to no justice.

Im trans. My experience with the trans community for the past 6 years of my life since I realized my dysphoria, has been a net negative. I have been called every form of bigot in the book all because I was asking questions while I was trying to figure out who I was and why I felt wrong. I was in denial about being friends about having dysphoria for a good couple or maybe few years because of people like this in the community and it's because of these people in the community and the fact that I rarely see people in the community actually talk against these people I rarely see enough people in the community show that they don't support these minority of activists that I have come to hate the community. I have come to hate a community that prides itself on being as it states inclusive and supportive of trans people meanwhile the community has made me feel feel belittled attacked and like I'm not actually dealing with the problems that I'm dealing with because I don't agree with the activists who will run the entire narrative of the community and my voice doesn't match despite it being a trans voice. Honestly I'm happy that I bought hogworkz legacy for two different reasons. The first is because I love Harry Potter as a universe and I've always wanted a game where I get to play as a witch from Slytherin. The second reason is because it's B these chronically online activists who have poisoned the community in my eyes.
I feel really bad for Silvervale. I’ve only seen clips of her streams but I know she’s known to be a very sweet and loving person. Seeing people do this to her is really disheartening. Especially over just trying to have fun on a game.
Not in of itself no. However it depends on where you got and what you're gonna do with the information. Which can fall under serious harassment charges.
whats crazy is if u read jk rowlings tweat, it aint even transphobic edit: also, people who do this stuff, are in reality creating more transphobia by seeing how the trans community and supporters have responded to people for playing a video game
People using this much energy to go as far as doxxing someone over a video game should really use that same energy into finding a job or something. This is just ridiculous
8:25 I can not understand the mental gymnastics that someone would actually believe that "If you don't support a group after they've attacked you then you were never a true supporter in the first place"
Don't be surprised, these people already pull off insane mental gymnastics by believing that men can become actual women and vice versa. This is a piece of cake for them.
As an African, this is very funny to me, this goes to show how spoilt the western world is…there’s real life issues out there and people are mad over a game. 🤦🏾♂️
While Silver and the rest of Vshojo are no strangers to controversy (some of it being of their own design) however wanting to relive the wizarding world through your own eyes/character is a childhood dream finally made into reality for many and that shouldn’t be a death sentence just some freaks on Twitter say so.
Remind me what is a word that describes a group of individuals that utilize terror, to pressure political and social ideas… seems like a particularly word that I am unable to use but fits rather perfectly
One amazing quote I heard recently; "If you're the kind of person who conflates harassment as activism, you're generally not on the side of the good guys"
That's not the first time he talked about vtubers, he made a video about Hololive's terminated 3rd gen member Rushia about her simps getting mad over her boyfriend, and another one about Pokimane going full vtuber, causing the community to lose their minds
This is one reason as to why I've become uninterested in the gaming industry now, if the industry collapsed tomorrow, I would not shed a tear, and it won't be from Devs or publishers monetizing their games to ridiculous amounts, it's going to be jackasses who doxx and harrass people for playing a video game that's going to turn people away from playing them.
I’m reminded of a C.S. Lewis quote: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us ‘for our own good’ will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
Her model is usually so happy in streams, she didn't have reason to get a sad model just for this. She didn't even have the state of mind to activate toggles
As someone who could be considered trans, people who do this stuff are abhorrent. Doesn’t matter if the cause is to be righteous, the execution is absolutely wrong. Because really, there is no reason to dox a person over a video game. I also find it a shame that really, there’s nothing I can do to stop the people who did this. Though I do hope Silver can find these people and take appropriate action. I know I’m insignificant, but I as a non-cis person am absolutely against this. I will say that.
True, by harassing anyone playing a silly wizard game for " promoting transphobia" is giving innocent transgender people a bad name and ironically creating more transphobes.
Even certain game reviewers are saying that if you buy the game, that you aren’t an ally. Be on our side or else you’ll be our enemy, way of thinking is bonkers.
The invader of the past carried a sword and shield. The modern invader carries a keyboard... Also this is the most unhinged case of not separating the art from the artist I've ever seen...
They are showing their true colors with their harassment campaign towards streamers. Also they are making the game a top seller bc everyone resents twitter.
Is there no way to stop these low lives from doing acts such as this? It’s astounding how no major news outlet is talking about this. Or the fact that the proper authorities haven’t taken action against this.
I think the reason why the police haven’t gotten involved yet is because Silvervale or any other person hasn’t reported it. Crimes like this need proof in order for the police to do something about it.
These people are doing far more damage to the trans community then anything Rowling could ever say or do.

So I had to explain to him what was happening, why it happening, and why I and many others thought it was ridiculous. He agreed. Trans-acceptance was way beyond his time, but even he was able to understand that most trans people aren't out to hurt anybody and are just trying to live life like the rest of us in their own way.
THIS!
Oh god, mainstream media talking about this seems like a recepie for dissaster.
@@legeul If it ever gets that far than being briefly mentioned, it'll ultimately prove those people caused harm to the community for years.

@@TheSoulGage Oh yeah, prety much, specialy considering American mainstream media is hot garbage, and fox news exists.
The most insane thing about this whole situation is that Rowling doesn’t even have a real connection to the game. The extent of her connection to it is that she made Harry Potter. She may have been consulted on whether or not avalanche software and Warner bros had proper licensing, but that’s it. Harry Potter as an IP is owned by Warner Bros, at least the film rights (i don’t know about the books). She had no significant input to the game’s creation beyond licensing agreements and maybe some guidance to some of the plot or creative elements. This game has almost as much connection to J.K. Rowling as these doxxers have to their parents.
They already went too far when they harrassed Pikamee. Worse part is that she lives in Japan and is completely oblivious to the "issues" surrounding the game (good for her, tbh). She just wanted to be a wizard.
As much as I hate anime and japenese culture i am about to move these just over the fact that its more traditional and conservative and has less virtue signallers
Imagine being threatened by a wizard game
These people are legit acting like dictators themselves
Imagine getting beaten for not liking 18.
b-b-but JK Rowlings is anti-trans!!!!!
@DixonYamowthe They did, some men were accused of witchcraft, working with Demons etc. And were burned at the stake. There were just a lot more women who were convicted than men.

I love how absolutely unbiased Optimus is and that's one of my favorite things about him when watching him.
Once again, another instance of the absolute insanity that’s plaguing our society
And I honestly dont know whats more sad, that or the fact that nobody does anything to stop this nonsense. Everyone just lets it happen.

Imagine getting doxxed over a video game. That is a really ridiculous reason to get doxxed. People these days are so sensitive and need to get a grip
Exactly!
My sentiments exactly.
I don't know why we live in a day and age where doxxing and harassment within the video game industry is just so common, these days.
I mean really, how is that supposed to send a good message?
I really feel sorry for Silver. These haters have gone way too far with the hate, doxing and death threats. I fear that if a kid were to pick up a Hogwarts Legacy game, and a protester saw that kid picking up the game. That protestor would beat up that kid to prove a point. These protestors should be put in their place
At this point it'll be in no time that someone will get killed over playing the game, mark my words!

I will become your home defense out of pettiness if that makes you feel any better
I wouldn't rule out that possibility. satire and overexaggeration is dead now
@@Hyperion4K I mean I saw a Twitter user swatting an old man and he died of a heart attack so it might be a possibility
The game literally has a trans character (Sirona Ryan that is, the innkeeper of Three Owls(?)). I don't even know what people are screaming about. And it's not even like doing this is harming Rowling in any way. People are acting as if boycotting a freaking game (which, btw, isn't even remotely related to her, isn't even set in her timeline; the actual HP books are wayyy in the future) is somehow going to affect Rowling in any way. All she owns, is the trademark to the HP franchise. Everything else is the devs. At this point it is having the reverse effect that what they seem to want- it is doing more harm than good.
I will never understand humans jesus christ. God save us all. Or at least, Twitter.
It's the Three Broomsticks.
Another thing that people hate: adding a trans character just to get diversity points
@@pxolqopt3597 in this case it seems more like 'we don't support what the IPholder said we have no problem'
The sad part is that smaller streamers can’t even play the game without getting attacked. No streamer should get attacked but at least the bigger streamers have a cushion to fall on. If you don’t already have a big audience you can’t take the risk
I’m glad we live in a world where people don’t dox streamers for playing funny wizard games

its sad that anything harry potter related with now be boycotted to oblivion by these people, just cant have anything nice
And people can't make videos to show how good the game is, it's mind blowing that they are controlling everything other people do and ruin their lives just because of one person
Its not easy to make content about this stuff so well done Optimus for tackling it.
This is the type of stuff that happens when a society runs out of things to actually be upset about
Silvervale DID NOTHING WRONG
Exactly! These terminally online morons are such a menace
agree.
At the end of the day if you choose to buy the wizard game you are not a bad person, and if you choose to boycott the game then there is nothing wrong with that either. What does make you a bad person is choosing to dox or harass people for doing either one. I hope Silvervale and her friends haven't been seriously hurt by the doxing.
This shows that these people not only have no lives but also need to be held responsible.
Dude, I’m a silvervale fan, I started watching a lot of her stuff back in August I think (Can’t remember, bear with me) and she has always been an very good person and when I found out about this whole situation, I felt really bad for her. Needless to say, I really hope Silvervale gets the help and support she deserves; Wouldn’t want anything even worse to happen to her.
She is legit one of the most positive streamers on the platform. It's a shame that people do this...
I'm also a fan of her as well I feel terrible for her
@@cassiebarber4669 I hear ya. In fact when I heard her cry in that stream clip, it hurt my very SOUL. I kid you not, I was literally like “Somebody hug her, please!”

@pᴉʞxolqoɹpǝɹǝƃƃᴉɹt i dont watch vtubers not my cup of tea but brother just let em enjoy what they want
One thing I've noticed about this huge wave of equality, is it isn't equality, it's just reversing the roles, equality should mean everyone is equal, not one person's issues above the others, idgaf if I'm canceled, it's just the truth, just look around, look at Johnny Depp, his life was ruined because no one cares about men, look at Silver, her life was ruined because no one cares about straight/cis people anymore, when everyone should be cared about equally, I fully understand that there's still many struggles going on in the other side, but that doesn't mean to make innocents struggle too just because they are of race/gender as the people making the other side struggle, were all equal, and as of now, no one's equal, one side will always be put above the other, and what people who dox or the "social justice" warriors do, isn't equal, it's just role reversing, when instead those "roles" should be removed entirely
Idgaf if I've hurt your feelings in anyway, you know I'm right
Facts don't care about feelings. A simple truth lost on their crippled minds.
honestly its the world today that makes me want robots to takeover tomorrow, because people can get together over a common enemy so why not an AI overlord?
For real. We live in a world where trans people have no less rights than cis straight whites but yet they want EVEN more rights. Like, they already have the (nonexistant) "right" to not be critisized, what more could they possibly want.
"Yer a transphobe Harry!"
"I'm a WOT?!"
Why don't they support lgbtq+ streamers instead of harassing others? Hypocrites
People got mad at Rowling when she said that transitioning wasn't always the best option. LOL
the fact she's almost in tears while the model has a cheery look to it is just killing me
If Optimus was showing himself play hogwarts, this video would be perfect 🤣
There's a difference between boycotting and leaking a person's private info
People on twitter try so hard not to be an npc that they end up being one
Me personally I’m done with any support for the LGBT.
I never really supported it myself as I have my own worldview but I did tolerate them and treated them fairly as I would anyone.
Slowly I went from tolerance, to ”They aren’t all like that”, to “Ok we got a serious problem here” and I bet that’s the case for most people. I fully broke off tolerance after the Ivan Provorov situation because that sent a message that our basic human rights are about to be put in the hands of these people.
Still I don’t hate people who associate with that organization but I do stand against it and pity those that would follow them because it’s in no one’s best interest that they should have that much power.
As a pansexual, I also dislike the alphabet community because of these people.
The L, G, and B are cool. The T is the problem....
For Christ sake *it's not us doing this*

@@HyperbolicArachnid my point is that certain group of people shouldn’t be so protected that stuff like this happens.
It happens way too often regardless of what the majority say and their is always little to no justice.
I acknowledge you have the same sentiment but I’m saying that Lgbt influence must be checked less this keeps going and more people actually become transphobes and homophobes and that will do more harm for modern society than what’s already happening.

Im trans. My experience with the trans community for the past 6 years of my life since I realized my dysphoria, has been a net negative. I have been called every form of bigot in the book all because I was asking questions while I was trying to figure out who I was and why I felt wrong. I was in denial about being friends about having dysphoria for a good couple or maybe few years because of people like this in the community and it's because of these people in the community and the fact that I rarely see people in the community actually talk against these people I rarely see enough people in the community show that they don't support these minority of activists that I have come to hate the community. I have come to hate a community that prides itself on being as it states inclusive and supportive of trans people meanwhile the community has made me feel feel belittled attacked and like I'm not actually dealing with the problems that I'm dealing with because I don't agree with the activists who will run the entire narrative of the community and my voice doesn't match despite it being a trans voice.
Honestly I'm happy that I bought hogworkz legacy for two different reasons. The first is because I love Harry Potter as a universe and I've always wanted a game where I get to play as a witch from Slytherin. The second reason is because it's B these chronically online activists who have poisoned the community in my eyes.
These autogynephilics do a disservice to you and those who are actually dysphoric
I feel really bad for Silvervale. I’ve only seen clips of her streams but I know she’s known to be a very sweet and loving person. Seeing people do this to her is really disheartening. Especially over just trying to have fun on a game.
Is vtuber if so thats strike 3
Isn't doxxing a federal offense?
Yes
I looked it up online & for the most part no. But it wouldn’t surprise me if it did amount up to a federal offense.
Not in of itself no. However it depends on where you got and what you're gonna do with the information. Which can fall under serious harassment charges.
Doxxing a minor is in the USA is I think but an adult I don't think so
It needs to be
I have 30 hours in Hogwarts and I don’t regret it 🤷♂️

Just buy it out of spite at this point
That’s exactly what Imma do
But try to enjoy the game alright.😶
My brother already bought the game on our PS5 but I'm gonna buy it on my Xbox to spite the Twitter users
@@keondramcintyre3444 Considering the good faith reviews of the game he obviously will. Politcs aside it really is just a good game.
People using this much energy to go as far as doxxing someone over a video game should really use that same energy into finding a job or something. This is just ridiculous
because employers wont put up with their entitlement
8:25 I can not understand the mental gymnastics that someone would actually believe that "If you don't support a group after they've attacked you then you were never a true supporter in the first place"
Don't be surprised, these people already pull off insane mental gymnastics by believing that men can become actual women and vice versa. This is a piece of cake for them.
As a member of the mentioned community, I couldn't have said any of that better. Thank you for being such a consistent voice of reason. Great video.
People should be able to sue to the full extent...accept no apologies.
As an African, this is very funny to me, this goes to show how spoilt the western world is…there’s real life issues out there and people are mad over a game. 🤦🏾♂️
This entire situation is the definition of "its not that fucken deep bro"
While Silver and the rest of Vshojo are no strangers to controversy (some of it being of their own design) however wanting to relive the wizarding world through your own eyes/character is a childhood dream finally made into reality for many and that shouldn’t be a death sentence just some freaks on Twitter say so.
This is getting out of control
Remind me what is a word that describes a group of individuals that utilize terror, to pressure political and social ideas… seems like a particularly word that I am unable to use but fits rather perfectly
(streamer plays game)
Twitter: 🤬
What more do I have to say? Seriously, what more do I have to say?!
One amazing quote I heard recently; "If you're the kind of person who conflates harassment as activism, you're generally not on the side of the good guys"
It wasnt only Silvervale. Pikamee was harassed as well. Made her cry and unable to stream since then.
Troons can’t stop being mad at the truth about what they are
Watch them say its freedom of speech. It’s not and its so wrong and no one regardless of who they are shouldn’t have to go through this at all
This.
Violating someone’s privacy rights is not freedom of speech. It’s the exact opposite.
The harassment is coming from the "tolerant and accepting" crowd..
Rare to see Optimus talk about vtubers
That's not the first time he talked about vtubers, he made a video about Hololive's terminated 3rd gen member Rushia about her simps getting mad over her boyfriend, and another one about Pokimane going full vtuber, causing the community to lose their minds
This is one reason as to why I've become uninterested in the gaming industry now, if the industry collapsed tomorrow, I would not shed a tear, and it won't be from Devs or publishers monetizing their games to ridiculous amounts, it's going to be jackasses who doxx and harrass people for playing a video game that's going to turn people away from playing them.
I swear the internet has given these useless trolls too much power
I’m reminded of a C.S. Lewis quote:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us ‘for our own good’ will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
Truer words were never spoken
Whats ironic is that these people are the reason why the alphabet group is so widely hated. Unfortunately i too have changed my opinion of them.
2:50 That avatar of hers made it look like she was laughing it off until she started to actually cry.
Her model is usually so happy in streams, she didn't have reason to get a sad model just for this.
She didn't even have the state of mind to activate toggles
As someone who could be considered trans, people who do this stuff are abhorrent. Doesn’t matter if the cause is to be righteous, the execution is absolutely wrong. Because really, there is no reason to dox a person over a video game. I also find it a shame that really, there’s nothing I can do to stop the people who did this. Though I do hope Silver can find these people and take appropriate action. I know I’m insignificant, but I as a non-cis person am absolutely against this. I will say that.
Exactly this
THANK YOU
It's refreshing to see the fellow trans people disagreeing with these loonies
This is the same community that supports Drag Queen Performances in elementary schools. Think about it for a second.
It’s sad that there’s people that support drag queen performances, for some odd f**king reason.
Someone’s eventually gonna get Swatted for playing Hogwarts Legacy, mark my words

yep its only an eventuality
People got swatted for less..so sadly your right.
"Criminals." Such an understatement to label them. I think the term "cyberterrorists" is more accurate.
Optimus spitting facts for 14 mins straight, good video man 👍
Acceptance and forced compliance are separate things if you ask me.
Acting crazy and harassing people over not being enough of an ally will just make transphobics.
that is beyond true, because if you harass someone for not being "on their side" enough it just makes people hate out of spite
True, by harassing anyone playing a silly wizard game for " promoting transphobia" is giving innocent transgender people a bad name and ironically creating more transphobes.
Me for example
Sad but true unfortunately
The Few Bad Apples ruin the entire basket of Good Apples Visually.
I hope to see more people stand with Silvervale and all of the other streamers targeted by the hate mob. Nobody deserves that.
Even certain game reviewers are saying that if you buy the game, that you aren’t an ally. Be on our side or else you’ll be our enemy, way of thinking is bonkers.
It was so creepy to see how many people celebrated it
The invader of the past carried a sword and shield. The modern invader carries a keyboard...
Also this is the most unhinged case of not separating the art from the artist I've ever seen...
We're tolerant! Unless you disagree with my "side"
Imagine doxxing somebody over a video game. Those doxxers really need to touch grass
Every time controversy like this starts, i just automatically assume bots started it
They are showing their true colors with their harassment campaign towards streamers. Also they are making the game a top seller bc everyone resents twitter.
And these people are supposed to be the good people?
Is there no way to stop these low lives from doing acts such as this? It’s astounding how no major news outlet is talking about this. Or the fact that the proper authorities haven’t taken action against this.
The law stops them
I think the reason why the police haven’t gotten involved yet is because Silvervale or any other person hasn’t reported it. Crimes like this need proof in order for the police to do something about it.
and the LGBTQ community ask’s why people starting to dislike them now.
Honestly, I don't think most of LGBTQ people don't even care. It's just people that stay on Twitter 24/7 and cry about everything.
They make it easier for people to hate them
It's only the T part that is the problem. The L G and B part is mostly cool
Don't blame most of the L, G, and B. Only blame the T.
