I support @NikatinePrime boycotting the game, as well as encouraging others (who have the financial means) to join in her boycott.
I believe in the power of art, which means believing in its power to influence discourse. Also, you can’t separate art from those who profit off it. https://t.co/y8O8lWkQBz
