The horror of knowing the video game you're playing was inspired by a book written by someone who believes women exist.

I already posted a submission of how a discussion about this game in the SteamDeck sub got totally derailed by TRAs coming in to cry about the evil TERF Queen. They live every day of their empty, pathetic lives utterly infuriated that she won't give in and acknowledge that their fantasies are reality.

And even this article can't manage to avoid falling in with the attempts to smear her.

Although she is not involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, GamesRadar+ acknowledges the role of J.K. Rowling in the creation of the Wizarding World, as well as her publicly-stated, harmful views regarding the rights of transgender people. If you’d like to offer your support to the communities affected by Rowling’s rhetoric, consider donating to the National Center for Transgender Equality in the US, or Mermaids in the UK.

Can't wait till the sales figures come out and the trannies realize their protests did jack shit.

They probably only managed to make the game more popular.

"I'm boycotting the open world Harry Potter wizard game".

"Huh what's that? It looks cool I'll buy it thanks for telling me".

That's why you don't buy it at all. For all we know, the controversy is a reverse psychology marketing.

I mean fuck a psychological horror game where you have wizards fighting Nazis sounds dope as shit. Some background shadow war of Nazi Wizards vs British Wizards fucking with each other's minds sounds cool as fuck and way more interesting than Harry Potter anyway.

A proper examination of the impact of magic in history in the form of a series of alternate historical novels would be awesome.

There are already many stories of the Nazis meddling in the occult, so it could definitely work! I'd buy that game.

They have to make everything about themselves.
