The main discussion around Hogwarts Legacy has been JK Rowling's transphobia. It's inextricably linked. Like that dumb unbreakable vow thing they do in Harry Potter. Did it make normies hate trans people even more? Maybe, but they already do. They've already passed hundreds of anti-trans laws in different states. What else are they gonna do, kill trans people? Oh wait, they're doing that already too. Like it or not, the boycott associated that game with JK's transphobia, and in that sense it was a success. --- I am the nucleus. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Scintillant posted... This is so falseNo it's true. Most people are able to ignore this stuff. The only people who care are the ones trying to make trans-people's lives worse and the ones fighting for the rights of Trans-people. Everyone else is just living their lives. Most people are enjoying the Wizard game and don't care about the drama. I care, you care, most people are not us. --- Release the Batgirl movie! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean you are not wrong. I had coworkers who didn't know of JK Rowling's Transphobia until this controversy happened. Of course it's a double edge sword because I have some of my co workers who agree with her. If you are looking for any other victory in this boycott, you are not going to find it. --- DI MOLTO! ...

Honestly this is what everyone should have gone with to begin with Maybe even use the game as a mass media message and trans positive charity against j.k Rowling and also to make sure people know exactly what she's doing and saying and how it hurts people.

I will support trans people by respecting them and voting for the people that do not try to endanger their lives. Sadly there's a bunch of morons in US lately that cant separate social media memes from real life politics and their consequences and thats were some moderates lie. Something as petty as that COULD be the catalyst for voting rep. And one thing is rude and another outright harassing. --- SEXY SEXY! ... Copied to Clipboard!

The boycott was one of the worst examples of "passive activism" in recent memory. It doesn't require you to actually do anything and many of the people "boycotting" were people who weren't going to buy the game in the first place, but piggybacked onto the controversy just to gain points. It lowkey frustrates me to no end how many people on the left will rally behind not doing something, but getting any kind of meaningful organization or concentrated voting effort going is like pulling teeth. --- I have nothing else to say ...

If the point was to get people to talk about trans rights. There were better ways to do so such that didn't involve harassing other people over a video game. This feels like cope over the boycott not working out as planned. --- http://i.imgur.com/BBcZDLJ.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

I still don't associate Hogwarts Legacy with JK Rowling tbh, anymore than I associate the actual book series with her. After finishing the series, you think I thought "Hmm JK Rowling wrote this, I want to know more about JK Rowling"? Nah fam. I moved on.
