    Put simply, a terf owns the IP, money flows back to her. Outright denial of this fact is borderline transphobic itself.

      That’s a huge stretch.

        Not at all. In fact, denial is a common tactic. See the “racism doesn’t exist” crowd for a prime example. I think you’ll find it’s full of racists.

  Gee, what could a game in ab I.P. created by a terf have to do with terfs? Scientists will ponder this for years. I mean, it’s not like J.K. Rowling owns the I.P. and makes millions of dollars per year from things like this, right?

      Just admit you’re transphobic, it’s a lot easier.

        I’m transphobic because I don’t partake in perpetual mob outrage?

    So, you’re just going to ignore the hundreds of game makers who worked on the game and don’t share her views?

        Where does the money flow, bud?

        A lot of people. Artists, programmers, voice actors, designers etc. So what if some fraction goes to a bigot? I’m not allowing her to live rent-free in my head and control my purchases like you are.

    Here’s a video about the Harry Potter IP. Like who owns the rights to the games, books, plays, and so on.

    Looks like WB haves the right to the games. So they get most of the money from the games. Rowling owns the rights to the books and plays.
