Harassing streamers and cancelling people for playing the game because of it's connection to Rowling, all while organizing on Elon Musk's alt-right platform and bringing ad revenue to him and his followers I'd take this more seriously if it wasn't so illogical and ego based. No like using twitter is funding way more hate campaigns than buying Hogwarts Legacy sadly… but! There are also products we use that fund anti-hate campaigns too. It’s not all doom and gloom. Plus we can always donate or fundraise for pro trans activist groups too (something people tried to do but oh well) The only sane take is to continue to advocate for trans rights explicitly. Everyone is doing that now and I feel progress is being made in a lot of ways So… Seeing random twt users create this mess… the set up is so real 😭 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally don't care what you think, I just came in here to point out the inaccuracy of your claims. Saying this guy is an out of work actor deliberately hired by Rowling because he's an alt-right freak was an absolute lie. Stick to the facts if you want to be taken seriously.

J K Rowling has a platform in which she actively promotes (and sometimes donates to) the very hate campaigns we have outside of courts and other government buildings. I will stand up against it like any good person should. So does Elon Musk. Delete your twitter, or you're just as bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papergangstuh 2,589 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 The nerds and the clout chasing girlies are fighting The game is going to smash regardless because of the HP name/franchise. You might as well realize you're technically on the same side at the end of the day and join forces to promote positive resources, reputable charities/funds, etc. instead of shaming people for buying a video game. 90% of people buying it have no idea about JK and her views.

Natalia Kills 363 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Honestly the game is so impressive and well put together, I'm glad to pay my dollars to the company and its staff. I'm just too exhausted trying to curb my habits to meet some loose goal of not paying JK Rowling or whatever social issue is earning people self-righteousness points. If I feel i have to behave in a certain way because I know I'll be ostracized if I don't, I won't genuinely believe in doing it. I suspect a lot of other people are feeling this fatigue too. It's what drove me from being a proud left-wing person to a center-right libertarian. I'd come back to the left if we dropped this righteous attitude and respected people if they simply wanted to play a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
