Theres very few mainstream games that have trans representation, kudos to them for having a trans character even if they receive backlash from the right for being woke.

oh, I would think having trans representation in mainstream gaming would be a bigger priority than boycotting the game completely so Rowling doesnt get richer, especially when she wasnt the sole person behind the direction of the game. But I guess people have different priorities

If the current sides flip their position on the game once it becomes more well known there is a trans character in the game, I'm gonna mark the hell out.

It's pretty groundbreaking. Has any game truly done this before? Not talking about that Elden Ring crap where it doesn't even matter.

They both have "gen" in the name. Thats gotta mean something, right?

Just looked this up, apparently the trans character is a very prominent one in the early game. Further, you can also choose to play a trans character yourself, so its definitely not just some npc. This might be the first game I heard thats puts effort behind making a trans character actually important, I really have to appreciate the devs for being this bold in a day and age where stuff like this receives hate for being woke.

We had a topic and gunplagirl said the character's name proves her right. It also got locked.

I mean, its obvious why they ignore it, I would too if I was so emotionally anchored to my position that it blinds me.

Its weird. Because one would think if a huge racist created an novel, and then game developers made a game out of it but dialed up giving minorities prominence and importance

Thatd be seen as a massive fuck you to the racist creator.

But online folks arent seeing Hogwarts Legacy the same way.

Having transwomen in a HP piece of media must hurt JK rowling more than losing a few million dollars.

if shes actually a big of a transphobe that people are saying than this is absolutely the case. she already got billions to care about more money, but her hate for trans people is rooted in her identity assuming the internet is right about how much hate she has in her heart for trans people. If anything the game is a huge fuck you to Rowling
