like, it's one video game, you really don't have to play it. What the fuck are you missing out on? The blood libel plot? Pathetic. Because you like Harry Potter? Holy shit, lmao, you like Harry Potter? In 2023? :miyazaki-laugh:

I've simply not played hundreds of games for so much pettier reasons. Why do you have to play the wizard game? I would simply not give the TERF lady royalties. Not even just because she's actively harming trans people with that cash, but because Harry Potter is for fucking dweebs.

I've even seen like, radlibs pull this shit. Imagine pulling the "no ethical consumption under capitalism" line about Harry Potter. Are you hearing yourself? For Harry Potter? You're pulling it for Harry Potter? Of all things? Are you hearing yourself? Do you hear how you sound?

    You're telling people not to play the wizard game because the author is a transphobe.

    I'm telling people not to play the game because Percy Jackson is the superior YA series.

    We are not the same.

      Me, before J.K. Rowling outed herself as a transphobe: Harry Potter is dumb and lame

      Me, after J.K. Rowling outed herself as a transphobe: Harry Potter is dumb and lame and also J.K. Rowling is a transphobe

        Remember when everyone made fun of JK Rowling for stuff like making characters retroactively gay (but they never display it in the actual books)

          OK, this is one criticism I will actually bother to push back on. Dumbledore/Gindenwald was absolutely subtextually gay in nature and a lot of fans were suspecting that Dumbledore was gay before it was confirmed by Rowling. I remember it distinctly.

            yeah, dumbledore was definitely planned to be gay. it was because she needed him to be tempted by his evil nazi boyfriend, but it was definitely there

      I’ve always preferred Seaweed Brain to Lightning McScar Face. So excited for the new tv show!
