She's not even saying anything malicious. Let's say I buy an old Volkswagen. I then stick a Mercedes hood ornament on the hood. Does that mean I'm suddenly driving a Mercedes? No. It's still a Volkswagen. It just attempts to pass as a Mercedes.

I'm pretty indifferent to Harry Potter as a whole and I probably won't even buy this game, but I'll be damned if I let randoms on the internet tell me which games I can and can't buy.
I didn't know people were cars.

Unlike chic-fil-a, I'm not aware of Rowling actually contributing to any anti-trans policies or organizations. Thus, I have no guilt in seeking this game.

She did voice her support for someone whose contract wasn't renewed due to their open transphobia, a protected trait in the UK.

"I love trans people but we should consider them this weird other group
or else the trans women will destroy women's rights and feminism"

No wonder trans women kill themselves. They're even more persecuted than their male counterparts.

I'm going to buy the game just because of this stupid ass tweet.

I feel the same way. This isn't about trans rights, this is about making that specific person angry because they definitely have it coming.

"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.
I don't agree with what was said in the OP, but we need to stop this "X people are not important because they're a minority group" bullshit. That is not a good stance to take. Yes, there aren't as many trans people as there are non-trans people, but so what? That does not make them less human. That same thought process is what drives discrimination.

I'll say to them what I said about Phil Fish and his stupid ass. I play games to escape this shitty world people have decided to make. I can appreciate the artform without giving a shit about the person it came from.

Phil Fish, Chris Benoit, Gene Simmons. I don't care who the asshole is, if I can enjoy their work, I'm going to do that. Separation of person and product.

You've totally missed the point. They didn't say trans people aren't important. But it is true that somebody using the term 'all your trans friends' and thinking that many people will identify with or relate to that statement goes a long way to showing how detached from society at large she is.

I have nothing against people being trans, of course. That would be ridiculous. When they do suffer transphobia, which they totally do, that's disgusting. However, as a community of people they really don't do themselves any favours when it comes to getting the general public to side with them and understand them.

I still haven't seen what Rowling has said that is so transphobic. It seems like all she has really said is that you can't disregard a trans person's biological sex in some circumstances, even if you do respect them and how they identify.

I hate when liberals try to force Trans Rights down your throats, especially if you're not against them but against the political agenda behind it. A lot of trans people don't like straight people because they won't sleep with them.

She's using that term because she's obviously directing her post toward people who relate and support the trans community. If you can't relate, then the message isn't for you.

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

A man wearing womens clothing as a disguise does not make him transgender nor does it have any reflection on the trans community.

Thats it. It makes transgenders look bad.

The real reason is that Rowling wrote it and theyll twist anything she says and does to attack her.
