A screenshot of a post that reads David Simon, creator of *The Wire*, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro, NPR

And then a screenshot of a conversation that goes like this:

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

One wonders if it might be because gendering a male presenting individual anything else than he/him runs the risk of angering a potential cis manby offending his feelings, which can incite violence. If that makes sense.

First time I played it I binged it in one night while my roommate at the time studied for their exams. Wasn't allowed to go to bed until they finished. Didn't mind one bit. Magnificent game. 12/10

Here's the truth.

You can't stand with trans people and take a gig with Rowling. It is impossible. You can make donations, you can issue statements of support, but at the end of the day you are choosing to work with the single most prominent transphobe who uses her money and platform to harm us.

Reminder that β€œdeath of the author” to justify consuming certain media in an ethical way does not work when that author is alive and well, rich, and using their platform to spread nothing but hate.
JKR is in fact not dead, she uses all the resources available to her to actively harm trans people.
