I honestly think the only real solution is money. These individuals and companies have power and influence and a platform because they have money. The only realm thing you can do as a single entity person is just not buy the game and take the $5 out of JKRs pocket. It's basically inconsequential, but there aren't a whole lot of other options that don't result in poor press and crappy "take the high ground" arguments that often hurt the movements in the eye of the public.

The status quo is strong and when "super angry" is the response with doses of violence, all the non effected go "omg these people are so bad I can't support them" because it's just so easy to disregard people when you think "they aren't good people".

I get why there is anger, and it's super easy for me to say as a privileged white cis dude (who is bi but whatever), but I don't actually think the anger is productive. I think it just provides ammo to all the fence sitter's to say "ya I dunno, they seem really angry and violent" and just dismiss.

the problem is Rowling has more than enough money that even if this game sold no copies and she received no more income she would be able to live a very easily sustainable and affluent life. its the same argument for someone like Elon Musk buying Twitter, even if it completely fails its just a drop in a bucket for him.

Best thing I can think of is education and awareness, especially against misinformation.
