Trans Community Harasses Vtuber Pikamee Into Retiring
After the recent popularity of hogwarts legacy, many streamers from all over the internet decided they would love to play a game based on one of the most beloved franchises in the world. Unfortunately the simple act of wanting to play a video game resulted in the trans community and their activists harassing, doxxing and even sending death threats and all kinds of calls to violence to those who desired to play this game.

Many streamers have been targeted over this from vtubers to non vtubers alike (another example is the harassment Silvervale faced). Streamers who have done nothing wrong viciously harassed all in the name of "tolerance". One such victim was Pikamee, a popular vtuber who was just coming back from a break and wanted to play the hogwarts game in a return stream. Not even playing the game yet and only merely talking about the desire and possibility to play it, resulted in her being maliciously attacked by the trans community and their activists doing many horrible things as well as accusing her of many things as well. This resulted in her graduating (retiring) due to the abuse she was getting. Pikamee has never hurt anyone and has always tried to be one the nicest people out there and that truly makes this sad.

This person as well as many others have been targeted and horribly harassed and as a result this event has sparked major discussions on how the trans communities abusive behavior, harassment, canceling campaigns and more are a major problem that needs to end. This has been an ongoing trend for a while now with many subjects with the community always acting like a victim after in an attempt to excuse their behavior.

What is everyone else's thoughts on the horrible harassment and death threats streamers and frankly anyone who supports Harry Potter are facing right now?

Fanatics are typical for ideologies.
Shall we included Andrew Tate as our guest speaker of this game?

im sure they (not just trans people bear in mind) harass people who play hogwarts game. even dunkey make a joke about it
I'm against death threads in every form and anyone who uses them should be locked within at least a medium security prison for at least 20 years, there's zero excuse that exists to ever use one regardless of the situation.

Anyone who doxx's a person regardless of reason should be treated as a cyber criminal and be given the same punishment all cyber criminals are given, I dont care for the reason, attacking anyone especially via doxxing is why new laws need to exist.

But I'll be brutally honest here, groups that are made to harass another regardless of their reason, the target or motive deserve capital punishment, the moment anyone forms a hate group is the second they need to understand why the death penality existed and meet the electric chair or worse.

The fact this groups continue exist and attack people because their own failures of life and goals is their only reason to exist, they attack a game because its the newest hate boner train thats bulldozed its way into their microscopic brain chamber.

The only gender ideology is cisnormativity, and it's what trans rights activists oppose.

Trans rights activists believe in UNIVERSAL human rights. Everyone deserves dignity, or no one does. If people get uncomfortable when that is pointed out, they should examine their privilege.

And JK Rowling is an ideological monster and a bully. Anyone who endorses her behavior in any way, even by playing a game she profits from, that person is participating in her ongoing mendacious transphobic hate campaign.

Bullying isn't activism. Thus none of these supposed activists are activists. Just bullies. And the Internet is full of them, sadly. It's always been a shame that they can't suffer the same repercussions they would in real life.

My condolences to the victim of bullying, and to all other victims of bullying - whether it's for their choice of game, or for their identity.

Edit: but you know, one of those things is clearly substantially worse so let's not even begin to compare them

It will all work out, statistically speaking.

We don't even really know if it was trans people, it could have been anyone just trying to cause problems. This isn't really uncommon in today's age.

JK Rowling's existence is about transphobic hatred. If people want to express transphobic hatred, there will be social consequences.

This is entirely moral.

“Some forms of harassment are okay.”

This is the exact stuff that has been talked about, the harassment, accusations and more over just the ideas of playing a video game is not only unacceptable but frankly disgusting.

You talk about human rights then immediately group people together in bad lights over a videogame.

You don't believe in universal human rights and respect at all, you only belive in respect for those who align with your beliefs and endorse harassment of those that don't and those that do not obey your ideas.

I don't believe those who do not agree with me do not deserve rights or dignity. The difference is, they do not return the favor for me, so their speech is considered anti-social by civilized people.

This whole thing is just so childish.. Just let people play what they want to play

In all blunt facts, Twitter is literally Tiktok after the final person with sanity has been killed off, Tiktok is just Twitch after the only Fans left, and Twitch is just the Youtubers that fell off and lost relevance.
