    It’s awful seeing a game based on a bigots work being bestselling.

    It just feels like a reminder that so many people don’t care about trans people at all because of “nostalgia” and not caring that Rowling benefits and hurts us.

    sighs I’m sorry for that rant just sad/disappointed/angry to see this.

      You will be surprised to know that you don’t agree on much of anything with most people.

      Why tf do we need to investigate every damn niche of a creator’s mind before deciding to buy?

      Idgaf he’s a bigot, a cow or a racist. If I like x thing that was made, and them being a bigot, cow or racist does not impact the product I’m buying, then I’m buying it.

      Every day we use products that were made under the control of CEO’s that would shit on us rather than shake our hands, that have ruined so many lives you can’t count them because it’s probably “illegal” since they sleep with everyone in power, but somehow we draw the line at bigotry.

      If you don’t like supporting bad people you better move in a forest and start raising some chickens because almost everything we buy supports some form of moronity that we can’t even comprehend. That one product you don’t buy won’t make a sliver of difference.

      You not buying it is whatever, but expecting others not to is really pretentious.

      It’s really simple: don’t buy it but pirate it and enjoy it anyway. As the game itself is pretty solid for what it is, just works and does not sell addons and has no mtx-shop, which really baffled me.

      I don’t like her stupid ass and can’t stand her silly propaganda. I don’t even like harry Potter at all, yet still enjoyed my time in the game. Like i highly dislike star wars, yet cherished the Kotor games very much.

      I usually strip the art from the artist. And in those cases I won’t purchase but download. Me not playing it does absolutely nothing, but me not buying it does a microscopic tiny fraction.

      And don’t forget that most people just don’t know And/or don’t care. Not everyone buying it or loving potter is some backwards yokel. Ignorance can be a bliss.

      Harry Potter was such a crucial part of my childhood and teen years. I cried when Dumbledore died. I read several of the books over a dozen times, and did an annual reread of the whole series for awhile.

      I’m not trans but that TERF cunt will never see another cent or good word from me. I spit on her name as she spit on my childhood. Solidarity, friend.
