Video game firm fires woman after trans activist publicly branded her a 'transphobe' for following conservative accounts and 'voicing excitement over Harry Potter game'

A woman fired from a video game company for following conservative accounts on Twitter believes a trans activist complained about her because she voiced excitement over a new Harry Potter game.  

Kara Lynne was 'terminated' by Limited Run Games hours after activist Jessica Blank, a trans woman, who uses the pseudonym Purple Tinker, publicly accused Lynne of being 'a transphobe who follows a veritable who's who of right-wing transphobic creeps'.

Blank shared screenshots of accounts followed by Lynne and said she would stop shopping with Limited Run games until Lynne, who was the company's community manager, was fired. 

Lynne believes the complaint was triggered because she tweeted her excitement about the release of a new Harry Potter-themed video game, which some people have threatened to boycott because of JK Rowling's views about trans issues.

Blank tweeted Limited Run Games on January 6 complaining that Lynne's 'transphobic follows' included Libs of TikTok, which shares videos made by liberal social media users, YouTuber Blaire White and right-wing commentator Ian Miles Cheung.

Lynne released a statement on Sunday which said she was fired in a call on January 6, the same day Blank tweeted her complaints.

Lynne said: 'In that call, I will say that there were a lot of emotions. I could tell they didn't want to do what they were doing and even said they didn't want to. They were being pressured from elsewhere.

Huh. You would think the tyranny would accept excitement over a witchcraft-themed video game.

From “coming out of the closet” to “shouting it from the rooftops”

From “Just wanting acceptance” to “demanding compliance- or else”

I hope this person sues the pants off them.

It already is….they believe we’re actual Nazis and want to take all their “stuff”. Guess what happens when people are convinced you’re a Nazi, racist and criminal?

Oh the horror /s. He’s bent out of shape over a tweet from 7 years ago. She probably wasn’t even working there then.

“ Blank also shared a tweet written by Lynne in May 2016 which said: ‘If you think the # of trans crying about using a bathroom is higher than the perves using the excuse, you are what is wrong with this world.’”

Blank said: ‘Unless and until she is fired from the company permanently, I am not giving them another single dime.’

Hours later, Lynne was dismissed.

So basically this stupid ass company fired a woman at the behest of a batshit crazy dude who likes to wear women’s clothing.

ONE PERSON. One mentally ill person can destroy your life for a “tweet.” Do “trans” really have to ask why people don’t like them?
