Literally the Grinch has a less pessimistic view

You gotta understand, most of the downvotes come from 'guests', and the 'hit and run "you suck"', is exactly what is to be expected, so don't stress over it. Dumbledingdong's sexuality wasn't a big plot point, it was the way in which is was post announced to fit the social discussion at the time. No one knew, and no one cares, that's fine, but then years later for JK to go "lol dumbledoorbell is gay" just seems like a stunt as you said, which makes me think back to the original post "no one cares". I was saying the watch they did it in Paranorman was the best way to go about it.
I also understand nothing was "in response", but we're all part of the same conversation and I just think you need to chill out.

I think you all worry about up votes down votes way too much, you hadn't even wait an hour before releasing that novel.
Back to the topic at hand, I get it, and that's fine. I'm not saying you can't mention it, it just feels cheesy when they force a point out of it, like JK Rowling after the HP books saying "oh btw dumbledingdong was gay".
I think the movie that has done it best was Paranorman (good watch if you haven't seen it). It lets you form an opinion on someone and once your opinion has developed only later does it drop a hint by saying "yeah I'd love to go to dinner with you Stacy, my boyfriend would love you", rather than spending the whole movie making not so subtle hints and jokes that a character has a different sexuality than hetero

They have the right to critise those corporate assholes, but the guys on stage, are not the corporate assholes, some of them are the developers and there was no need for that reaction. I entirely understand the disappointment, they did the same to command and conquer, and there was obvious uproar, but not to that extent. Everyone acted like "is this an out of season April fools" was a good comeback and slap to the corporation, but the only people who have to deal with that are the Devs...

No, fuck the fans for being straight rude, obnoxious and entitled to the developers who spend a majority of their lives working as the middle men to entertain you and bend to the will of snobby corporate assholes.
Plus, there were multiple blog posts about it before the event. If they where 'dedicated' they'd have noticed.

It makes me sad that people like guest can't be educated. No matter what you show them, or how much evidence you provide, they're so back asswards stupid that it's never gonna make it past their opinion

Yet again, a horde of people who don't understand the meaning of a particular joke, have decided to imply their own meaning and take it for a run.
Like the Pepe is racist shit, but all over again.

Ahahahahahahahahaha

It mentions zero cons of GMO's it just explains what they are and where they are found, even before the full list...
