  you are giving money to rowling with the purchase of any offically licensed harry potter product. that allows her to continue pushing her bullshit.

  there are actual trans-supportive games out there to support and stop trying to make excuses for your inability to get past your nostalgia.

    Rowling having slightly more money makes no difference to her spewing her views, she is set for life anyway. Yes I’d like to avoid giving her money, but a much stronger signal I’d like to send is that a game with trans characters sells well.

      it means nothing besides them trying to profit from the nostalgia ridden queers. again, yall could support actual queer works instead of work with a thin veneer of it.

        I am aware the motives behind it are profit driven. But that doesn’t make the message less valuable. People seeing themselves represented is helpful to them, and it normalizes them for other people.

      She explicitly said that she would use the royalties she gets from the game to lobby for transphobic organisations.
