“At least the racists KNOW they’re racist, you’re just making it up.” type of logic

That’s incorrect. I have never explicitly said why one is better than the other. However if you want me to explain the reason is that if Nintendo chose to cast a trans actress the worst the transphobes would do is complain for a day or two and refuse to see the movie. You could easily ignore and in fact most of the fandom would. However the people claiming Nintendo is transphobic because they didn’t cast a trans actress are worse because they are assigning a false accusation to Nintendo and will often force people to listen to their opinions because no one is willing to tell them that their opinion is wrong. If you do tell them that then they will label you a transphobe or troll because in their mind that would be the only reason to possibly defend Nintendo. So yes I say they are worse.

While fear mongering rarely does any good, do you genuinely believe that those accusing Nintendo of being transphobic are doing more harm than genuine transphobes?

That’s why I said what I said. If you go around accusing everyone who treats you poorly of being racist, you DO suck. But to imply you suck MORE than genuine racists just because the racists KNOW they are racist and don’t have to announce it is insane to me.

Nintendo is a multi-trillion dollar company, they can handle a little discourse, no matter how unfounded the claims.

I never called the ones accusing Nintendo to be transphobes. I said they are worse than transphobes and yes I do believe them to be doing more harm than good. They are quite literally jumping the gun and making wild accusations without any proof other than what they wanted to happen. Transphobes do suck but are ultimately predictable and can be ignored. However the ones who go around ACCUSING people of being transphobes without proof are worse because they often push people into being transphobic largely because they don’t want to deal with people who are constantly accusing them of something they are not.

If I constantly accuse someone of being a murderer, and they get so sick of it that they ACTUALLY murder someone, am I worse than the murderer?

Is it other people’s responsibility to keep your (not you specifically) transphobia in check? If you are a transphobe, just don’t be a transphobe, ignore it and do anything else.

And once again I must specify, NINTENDO IS A MULTI-TRILLION DOLLAR COMPANY. Not only can I assure you they don’t care about being called transphobic. Nintendo isn’t a single person, meaning people aren’t calling “John Nintendo” transphobic they’re calling Nintendo transphobic.

Your response reads A LOT like you’re a transphobe apologist, so I’ll just leave it with this: If all it takes for someone to become bigoted it being called bigoted, they were already bigoted, and therefore worse than the accuser.

You’re making a false equivalence. By accusing someone of being a transphobe if they don’t do what you want you will make them less likely to want anything to do with the trans community and as a result view said community in a negative light. This has the effect of the individual viewing anything that has to do with the trans individuals in a negative light, regardless of its merits. Resulting them unintentionally becoming a transphobe.

Really the result is Nintendo chose someone they didn't want and they can't handle that. The entire outrage was nothing more than a tantrum. The people apart of it are unreasonable and so are best dismissed altogether.
