    you are giving money to rowling with the purchase of any offically licensed harry potter product. that allows her to continue pushing her bullshit.

    there are actual trans-supportive games out there to support and stop trying to make excuses for your inability to get past your nostalgia.

      Rowling having slightly more money makes no difference to her spewing her views, she is set for life anyway. Yes I’d like to avoid giving her money, but a much stronger signal I’d like to send is that a game with trans characters sells well.

        She explicitly said that she would use the royalties she gets from the game to lobby for transphobic organisations.

          I am aware the motives behind it are profit driven. But that doesn’t make the message less valuable. People seeing themselves represented is helpful to them, and it normalizes them for other people.

            oh boy! they see themselves in games while they’re literally getting depersoned by the politics of the creator! in a time where we are literally seeing what such wealth is able to enable you to do… literally buy the white house.

            you can’t see the forest for the trees.

              Again, she is not the creator and has nothing to do with the game other than the creators purchased the rights to the setting.

                she makes money from the brand getting attention because she is the creator of the setting. no one gives a shit about this game without the setting.

                you are excusing enabling terfs and fascism because you have no ability to think beyond your own nose. but please make more excuses and lie to yourself more.

                  You are driven by hate. Rowling is not going to get any more “enabled” than she already is with her bottomless pit of money. If you are truly an ally, suggest better media to support, rather than being combative and alienating everyone in the proces.
