Harry Potter: Joanne K Rowling's Legacy

[Odesseiron]

except mainstream publications are almost universally positive about the game, it's the firey twitter warriors that are on the warpath

Oh for sure, but that's what I meant by vocal minority. I have met nobody in real life who is vehement against HP as these people pretend to be. Hell, at work I know 4 people that are probably playing it right now and are super hype.

They even made Shelby from Girlfriend Reviews cry for playing this game on stream. Those 2 seems like the genuinely nicest people. Like get fucked. There's apparently even a website that lists what streamers have/are playing it on Twitch. Go touch grass...jfc

The funny part of all this drama, is I had no intention of playing this and really couldn't have cared less. I've never read or watched any of the HP media, but watching streams to see what all the fuss was about and this game actually peaked my interest now and I'm probably gonna buy it.

So playing the game sounds like a really good way of getting a lot of viewers on your channel, is what your saying. Sure, your viewers will all be saying negative stuff, but viewers are viewers!

Story old as time. They are just giving the game more publicity and making it one of the most watched titles atm

I was wondering how this game is being viewed as anti-Semitic. Scratched my head and shrugged once I read about the Goblins. This game was never on my radar but the toxicity is spilling anywhere the Harry Potter franchise touches.

[Tyrath]

Nah JK's caricatures of goblins being anti-Semitic isn't something new. As a kid I never got it, but I do kinda see it now.

Pretty amazing too me, especially since I believe they were also running a crowdfunding for trans awareness while playing the game....so like what the fuck people.

Why are people attempting to boycotting the game (tagging it with Genocide Simulator on steam) even though JK Rowling isn't even involved? I know Rowling is very Anti-LGBTQ, but hell isn't there a trans character in the game?

Combination of she either gets royalties or got a big lump sum payment, so less sales = less money or less chance of a new one with her involvement as owner of the IP. Also the trans character appears to be shoe horned in and using a male voice under the guise of they haven't began voice training.

Except she doesn't get any negative from people not buying the game. Also where are these people in protesting at Universal Studios and all the other places where she does get royalties from. Boycotting this game even if she was making $$ off it wouldn't accomplish jack shit, if it's a good game (Which all signs point to yes right now) then it's going to sell a ton and they are going to make another one.

Well I do know people who have not gone back to Universal Studios theme park since she went full TERF. Boycotting it also keeps it in the news the kind of piece of shit she is, so future people wanting to do business with her is going to have to think long and hard if the blowback is worth it.

Pretty much. I guarantee you the people demanding a boycott will/would be the first people lining up at Super Nintendo World.

Honestly, best way on that is if you go to Universal, stay out of the section that's Potter World. Don't do the rides, don't spend any money there. If it becomes a graveyard compared to the Simpsons Area, Backstage Lot, Nintendo Land, the big wigs are going to see that. Will say a lot more then it would be to not go at all.

True, but given how most people just simply don't give a fuck about whatever JK said good luck with that happening.

Well, a good chunk seem to do. I was on the separate art from the artist train till the last year when she went full on all trans are rapists and pedophiles, and that's where I drew the line, especially as my best friend is a trans female living in the UK.

So I just don't do anything potter anymore. Don't watch the movies on HBO max, haven't bought anything she released, haven't been to Potter world at universal, haven't bought any games.

I don't expect anyone else to, but I choose to vote with my wallet, and her pro violence exterminate the trans community was a line I couldn't cross

People need to fuck off with the what about x property. This isn't Chris Pratt having some questionable religious views or Tim Allen spouting stupid MAGA shit. This is a person who has dedicated her whole life to being the face of the anti trans movement.

Yeah that's a bit of a yikes unless there's some context I'm missing.

she's actually quite pro gay rights, was a supporter of gay marriage before legality and though people scoff at it now the Dumbledore being gay reveal came in 2007 as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain were all campaigning on platforms opposing gay marriage. when she was criticized for it it wasn't from the left for being queer baity, it was from the right for shoehorning woke politics into a kid's story, and when the majority of America still opposed gay marriage.

makes her anti-trans business all the more wicked fuckin retahded tbh. this is a pretty down the line liberal woman otherwise. hated Brexit, talked shit about ethno-nationalists in Britain, donated a million pounds to the Labour Party, etc.

also yeah there's a trans character that is presented universally positively and them being trans isn't a big deal

[Andalusian girls]

If you care about the story don’t watch any streamers who are playing through it, even if you are farther ahead than they are. People are going full 4chan and spamming spoilers in the twitch chat. Time is an infinite circle indeed.

ye i got boomed with a late game spoiler just scrolling regulah twitter. classic twitter
