J. K. Rowling is a transphobe, a bigot and a fascist.

The first two yes, but is she actually a fascist? Outside of her being a terf I think the rest of her political views are supposed to be pretty left leaning and anti-authoritarian.
Regardless I think enough other people were more directly involved in this game that people should be free to play it guilt free if they want to.

A lot of people worked on this yes… But she did directly state that the money she makes from the game will go to transphobic causes so…
Yes you can play it as long as you don’t advertise it or give it any money

Identifying an out-group by an immutable attribute of their person, and then railing against them as inherently inferior is fascist behaviour.

There were hundreds of people who worked on the game, and the game itself went out of it’s way to feature trans characters. I doubt there’s a single AAA game or mass produced product out there that isn’t partially owned by some individual who you don’t want to support, so I think singling out hogwarts legacy in particular to boycott is kind of meaningless.
You could argue that by boycotting it you’re sending a message and just singling it out as an example, but the game already sold incredibly well and is a huge success. I don’t think there’s any reason at this point that someone who grew up enjoying harry potter and wants to play the game should feel bad about it at this point. Seems silly to deny yourself something you might enjoy over some small change going to a billionaire you don’t like.

don’t support things that support nazis
-
jkr is very very rich, and very very actively a transphobe
-
she VERY actively uses her money to degrade society

“you’re just one person and don’t matter” is not good logic even if it were the logic here, which it’s not, because she’s so rich and powerful.
Honestly, take your head out of your anus and see that you’re justifying doing a shitty thing. She’s got garbage cancer and needs to gtfo. Let the ip die, she ruined it.
You wouldn’t say the same shit if the main proprietor were an ACTIVE Nazi. Or maybe you would also apologize on her behalf? Or does it just take some other level of mental gymnastics to justify your own ambivalence to massive injustices that aren’t at your own expense?

FYI, it’s an acronym: TERF. Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist
Personally, I disagree with Rowling’s views regarding trans women, but it’s unfair to condemn everyone involved with making the game for the IP’s creator’s backwards views, especially since she had no role in its development.

I love this game. I’ve played it a lot on the PC. Going to install it on the deck now.

Fuck jkr and the pieces of shit that give her money.

This is the Steam Deck community. Technically speaking, giving her money is not required because Deck is not a traditional games console.🏴☠️
