kicking trans people down the stairs

This level of hyperbole makes you sound like the MAGA crowd, dude

Hyperbole is when person asks you to not play one single video game to show support for trans people when you can easily play anything else instead. How dare they, so mean. Exactly like the fascists who support MAGA 🙄

Wow, that comment makes you look fucking dumb, not knowing what hyperbole means

Except the hyperbole in this case is comparing someone who has played "one single video game" as the same as kicking trans people down the stairs.

You get that right? The insufferability comes not from saying "please show support by not playing this game" but from saying "if you play this game, you are a bad person".
