Harry Potter himself (Daniel Radcliffe) is pro-trans. Her views have been met with universal backlash for other content creators within the industry. Her anti-trans views are not going to gain any more traction than they already have.

If you refuse to buy the game, that's your right. But don't get mad at other people. Chic-Fil-A is the best chicken sandwich on the market. That homophobic dude's gonna be rich if I swear off chicken altogether. Why deny myself good food? By the same token, J.K. Rowling is gonna be rich regardless. She's made her money. She'll die on a mattress made of dollar bills if she chooses. We're not gonna strip her of her wealth, so why hurt everyone else attached to the project?

Above all else, we can't be friends if you try and tell me what content I'm allowed to have and not allowed to have. I wouldn't give up one intellectual property for anyone or for any cause. I and I alone get to make the decision on what media I consume and on what grounds I say no to something.

Ah yes. I too vigorously research every single product and service I consume and make sure none of the creators or majority stake holders or senior staff have any evidence of thought that goes against my beliefs and the beliefs of my friends nor was manufactured in a country for the same reasons.

Then you get specific missions where you get to be a serial killer around hogwarts

I haven't seen a Harry Potter game yet that I'd actually want to play.

I would never skip a game just to boycott its creator, though. Call it support all you like, I buy games for me and my entertainment. Where the money goes isn't my concern.

A certain user here is against the game because of the authors view of trans but is also a fan of a white guy that uses the n word. Priceless.

There's a lot of people working creatively within the brand's industry she created, so I think I'll lean towards supporting them instead. She's already wealthier than the royal family, and this will be a blip for her; everyone else working on the game doesn't need to be punished.

And within that post certain people took offense and the whole thing got way blown out of proportion. Didn't help when doubled down and announced she was writing a new story about a trans serial killer

I'm curious.

If we're going to throw away an IP because a bigot was behind it, there are a lot of IPs to be gotten rid of. Dracula and James Bond being two which immediately come to mind.

But hey, let's unsubscribe from our Harry Potter nostalgia and cancel the IP in the name of progress. Let's get rid of one of the few profitable intellectual properties that is not owned by the Walt Disney company. Oh, wait. We don't have to worry about Disney having a monopoly. You can literally cancel everything which bears his name.

It'd be interesting if the character creation let you be trans, among a lot of other things. Would truly feel like "anyone" could have gotten the hogwarts letter.

You're listing a bunch of dead people. In Dracula's case that's in the public domain.

J.K. Rowling is alive, tweets her TERF bullshit and still directly profits from Harry Potter. She just released a book that is allegedly anti-trans. It's not the same situation.

Earnest question here, has that ever been implemented in a game? From what I know of Cyberpunk 2077 your genital options are independent of your body appearance.

But how could thar translate in a game mostly likely rated E? Would it just be a box to tick off?

When I see the Rowling hate pop up, it makes me think of the director Bryan Singer. I don't condone the fact that he's a serial sexual predator, but I'm also not going to throw away my Usual Suspects or X-Men DVDs.

I feel like Rowling falls into that weird Terry Crews category, where in a vacuum most of her comments seem fine, but its like...who specifically is she talking to?

It doesnt help that when she was called out for her comments on that women who menstruate post, instead of saying oh shit my bad I misunderstood she just sort of dug deeper into the rabbit hole against this mysterious sex erasure movement. >_>

Social media just makes some people stupid.

Usually these would just be dumb debates over a family dinner but social media means hundreds of people can have drunk uncle dialogue together.
