What if someone on Twitter says you are attacking transgender if you don't buy it?

But I don't have friends... Does she mean my imaginary friends? I didn't know they were trans!

I have no issue if someone personally doesn't want to support a brand, but I don't think it really means you support the disgusting things they do. Like, I will never buy a Nestle product if I can help it, but I'm not going to scream at people and say they support child slave labour for it if they buy their chocolate, coffee or numerous other products.

And as for this Harry Potter game, then I say good if people don't want to support it. Rowling deserves nothing more from fans of her writing, but many people do still love the product and many of them will separate the product and artist, as happens in so many other things.

"All" your trans friends? They are what? something like half of one percent at most? The vast majority of people don't even know one trans person, let alone is friends with enough for "all your trans friends" to be applicable.

Also this is a dumb thing to say.

Twitter was a mistake.

Also, Rowling has made hundreds of millions of dollars-- boycotting things attached to her now won't make her become poor or change her opinions.

But also, who is this random weirdo on Twitter that thinks we need to justify our purchases to them?

I don't blame people if Rowlings views mean they won't buy the game. I feel a bit conflicted over it but at the end of the day I'm a dumb consumer who will put my personal entertainment over being morally superior. Life sorta sucks with stuff like this.

I won't repurchase any new printings of the books, I won't go see any of those shit Fantastic Beasts movies, I won't buy any dumb stageplay scripts Rowling shits out, and I won't wear my damn Ravenclaw socks anymore

I consider myself an ally of the trans community, but I will be buying and playing Hogwarts Legacy at launch and I'm sure they'll deal with it.

She doesn't have any input in the game but I'm sure she'll get some sort of residuals from its success.

But I doubt it's any extra money she'd notice at this point.

Hey if you don't care, you don't care, and no one can force you otherwise.

And if you want to leap through hoops to try to justify it, then that's your right, too.

Weird amount of actual hatred of trans people in this topic. I don't think that is the correct response to this random Twitter account's poorly thought out opinion, but I guess JK Rowling has a lot of support for her dumb self.

Supporting one, perhaps.

Spread her influence? Eh, not like any of it is in the books and the books rather contradict much of her opinions. She's been denounced by most of her fans and a majority of the films actors.

I'm being facetious. It's gotten really fucking old and it makes me laugh at anyone that says GameFAQs silences opinions when open hatred of minorities is allowed.

So I just saw the edit with the second person from a Facebook post and they are apparently pretending to be in the game industry to tell people its ok not to buy the game that devs won't get hurt. Claiming they don't get their salary taken away if the game doesn't sell well. This person obviously doesn't know anything about the industry at all because if they did they would know that just because your salary won't get taken away specifically it doesn't mean you won't get laid off or the studio shut down. And considering that happens all the damn time these days, this person clearly has no idea what they are talking about.

Its more like they'll tell a lie to make people feel better about not buying the game. But who thinks about the jobs of devs when they consider buying a game?

I'm only buying it just cause my wife loves the Harry Potter franchise. We took a vacation to Universal studios in Orlando just because she wanted to see the Hogwarts and Diagon Alley areas.
Only way i don't buy it is if reviews come out and it's dogshit.

Eh, i think its a little different when the author of a books is transphobic and just released a book that was so offensive to that group they dont want her funded to make more of that.

Personally i think the harry potter brand is too big and this boycott wouldnt matter but JK is still a bitch
