idk "this work is tainted and should not win an award" feels quite measured and reasonable. It's also very different from "this work is abhorrent and should not be engaged with in any way", a position I've seen exactly zero (0) person actually defend btw.

@Chronocide definitely not the same vibes though? JKR is actively using her money and position to hurt trans people and should rot in hell for that. On the contrary, nobody wants to cancel House House nor Big Walk: just don't give them an award, which they are not entitled to anyway.
It's not about burning them at the stake, it's about telling them and all gamedev that if they want to be praiseworthy, they have to do better.
@lertsenem Ah no I did not mean to compare the severity, just moreso the denial people seem to have. The "I enjoy this media and I cannot accept there might be things wrong with it" attitude.
@lertsenem Think a lot of people struggle to accept the thing that was so wholesome and fun is actually a bit cringe. Same vibes as people who deny the Harry Potter series is problematic.
