The problem with hogwarts legacy is not just "a difference of opinion" due to the author, it's because jk rowling is actively giving her harry potter money to anti trans hate groups, to anti lgbtq+ groups, to anti abortion groups and to groups that are pushing for conversion "therapy"

You cannot buy licensed harry potter products without giving jk rowling money. Any money that jk rowling receives will most likely be used to fund some form of bigotry and this will hurt a lot of people.

Buying hogwarts legacy means accepting this fact and deciding that it's OK. And people are allowed to be upset by this.

she engages in stochastic terrorism on twitter too. someone stole my picture, made a fake "im going to kill all cis women" twitter account, and then she tweeted it out. i woke up to a shitload of notifications from friends telling me to hide so i privated my twitter and was offline for a week. thankfully another swer uses a dmca service and he submitted a claim to them and they got the pic taken down after a week but that was still a week of lost work for me. she just did that in 30 seconds, is still a billionaire, and i probably wasn't the only trans woman she targeted that day and i was lucky to just get away with a week of lost promotion and working on twitter (a quarter of my monthly income).

buying hogwarts legacy plays into keeping her relevant which is where she gets her power from. don't just not buy it, stop engaging with harry potter as media. it literally has a real material cost for transfems all over the world and everyone has to make the decision for themself if it's worth that just to play a video game or go to a theme park or watch a movie

How much money goes to anti-trans-hate-groups per copy of the game purchased? Like, how *much* of a real material cost is it?

Like I’d get it if all £50 of the game purchase went straight to killalltransgenders.org, but, like, if it’s fraction of a penny? However much it is, it has to weigh up against how much people want to enjoy doing a thing they want to do - which it might do, but there’s some real weight to outweigh there.

you didn't read my post like at all besides the part where it said real material cost

what you just wrote was insane by the way, you're saying that a little bit of genocide is okay as long as the people greasing the gears of the machine are having fun in a quantity that outweighs the suffering of the people being targeted

saying the quiet part out loud here. "how much until i have to care?"
