That damn potter

This is not a spoiler.

So the latest Harry Potter book came out recently. I can’t even fathom what else has been this big that it’s affected the world like this. But what I just saw takes the cake.

While getting ready for a raid, the council of my alliance decides, “Spoil the latest Harry Potter and you’re raid banned”. Maybe a little overboard but understandable request. I don’t want to hear about a movie that I want to see other than “It was good” or “It sucked”, so it’s the same as a book.

So someone announces in vent “Council just passed. No talking about the Harry Potter book or you’re out of the alliance/raid banned”. Now if you haven’t been under a rock for the last 10years it’s a common sentiment when the Potter book is released. However one player states this (paraphrasing) in raid chat:

“I can’t stand for the limiting of free speech in any form. gl”

And then leaves the raid. And signs off.

HOLY SHIT BATMAN!

I am all for free speech, but we’ve all been there where we’ve wanted to smash someone in the face for revealing information that we wanted to discover on our own. Like in a book, or a movie. So to get uppity about a request like that is just beyond all comprehension.

Someone getting like that for book information being said. Ok, I kinda get that. For the possibility of not being able to ruin someone’s enjoyment of a book, for the sake of ‘free speech’. OMG “Lighten up Francis”.
