    Probably it's because Rowling is the biggest transphobe ( and we know how her views affected her work) but it's discussed like this is the one specific game where an evil person profits. But I think it's not the only case

    Tech companies are evil, the 30% Microsoft gets from every Xbox game sale will cause harm. Saudi Arabia owns 8% of Nintendo so in a similar sense to Hogwarts, Mario Kart sales going strong supports the war in Yemen. And I've just assumed major shareholders in general are chud dipshits

    People shouldn't be playing it in any case since the story and gameplay suck

      it's definitely because rowling is such a public and active piece of shit. I'm sure phil spencer or whoever else all have shit politics by our standards but they're not standing up for transphobia all the fucking time or spent a shitton of money to fight Scottish independence.
