Not tagging this spoiler cause fuck TERFs, don't buy the game, uphold TC69 Thought etc. Have gotten this all from the above article and reviews that support it.
Yep, anti-semitic, slave-owning, Protocols of Zion plagiarising, let's join the anti-goblin pogrom game.
Yes the MacGuffin unambiguously belongs to the Goblins, who have a labour theory of ownership. No you can't join the Goblins. Yes you kill a bunch of them. Yes, there is a fucking quisling that's seen as good actually. Yes, every teacher thinks fighting the goblins is a good thing, despite a few token missions that apparently show how oppressed they are.
No, you never critique that this and every other aspect of the wizard world might be a bad thing.
I am once again calling for the House Elves to rise up, slit every slaver-wizard throat in Hogwarts, and place their heads on pikes outside the entrance as a warning to the others.
Don't. Buy. The TERF. Game.
I have a thesis on alienation and atomisation where in the anglosphere, especially in America, collective action is no longer conceivable to most people, and suggesting it is makes them confused, panicked that they didn't think of it, and ultimately angry, because their entire conception of morality is that a bad/good individual act is what makes you a good/bad person, rather than engaging in a collectively good program of actions with others. It can be only sublimated by suggesting that collective action is just forcing them to do a thing, which is bad, and that the thing they want to do is good. actually, so asking them to do it is double bad.
That's why you get absurd statements like "Don't bring politics into this election", politics implies they can, and therefore must, act as a group and sacrifice.
Part of it is that nobody wants to be reminded of politics because it tears down the walls of cope they've built up to obfuscate the fact that they have zero political agency.
Which is of course why the bullying must continue.

That sounds quite depressing. I can say that despite my occasional doomerism, my org work and collective action has made my life better, and politically and materially we have won small battles.
If you're from rural areas in the anglosphere it is harder of course. Theres not the population density or industrial clout to do traditional Maoism, and the cities are materially disconnected, so urban Marxism or even luddism from incoming rural workers seems impossible.
I've spent a lot of time developing a toolset for modern urban revolt...maybe I should look more at the rural side.
