Like understand that as a former fan, I get the pull Harry Potter has on people as a formative franchise for them. I get that exists and is very personal to people.

At the end of the day I just wish people were a bit more honest about it. There's just so much defense force for buying this game that it worries me.

Like just say "look I just really really love HP as a franchise it's a personal thing to me and I understand that what this might mean for who I ultimately end up supporting but A) I don't care or B) I'll try my best to make it up in some way".

Or alternatively, just say nothing and buy the game regardless.

Because when I see these discussions get long and defensive, with the excuses, with the convolutions, with the denials, I see behind it all a sense of guilt. Guilt that's looking to be assuaged.

And hey, maybe I'm just projecting. Maybe it's the guilt I would feel if I bought it and what that would mean for how I would look in the eyes of my trans friends.

But people will tell me no guilt exists and quite frankly I'm skeptical.
