I am once again BEGGING you:
If you see a marginalized person doing something with a company/game/product you take issue with and are asking them to SACRIFICE THEIR LIVELIHOOD TO MAKE A STAND...
Maybe don't do that? For the love of God, people need to EAT.

This isn't directed towards any one thing, either, and despite the fact it's BHM isn't even only in defense of black people because it feels like 12 days ago everyone decided to ramp up all judgement on everyone trying to make rent.
Do better, FFS.

I'm not saying you can't attack the COMPANY or the PRODUCT you have issue with. I'm saying, unless you happen to have a paycheck for these people to forego other paychecks, don't attack the PEOPLE. That's the difference.
And before anyone tried it: This OBVIOUSLY doesn't refer to openly bad stuff. You see someone make, say, a board game based around vaguely Asian themes named "Legend of Dragon Katana" with a stereotypical font but made by 4 white guys named Jeff, Chad, Tyler and Jeff, go for it.
My issue is in, say, a black or latine or asian or LGBTQIA+ or disabled creator making money via a brand you may have issues with and you decide to call them a bad person for it.
If you don't have an alternative source for that money, keeeeeeeeeeep walking bud.
