Guarantee you the vast majority of Potter fans have zero idea that a certain part of the interwebs is raging about something they never run into in their daily life, and probably never encounter in their life at all, bar a passing glance at a stranger walking by, or what they hear on the national news/opinion shows. If they did see what's been happening, most would be sickened by the behavior, because most people don't care to be public dicks to each other and just want to enjoy what they enjoy without politics coming into it. Seems fuckin crazy to me to bitch and rage about a game/IP that doesn't appear to have any of her personal beliefs on trans people in it, and instead, do it just because she has different beliefs then they hold.

It's literally just a game, bro; relax and move on.

I mean there's plenty of anti-semitism directly in her works without going into her calling trans people rapists on twitter.

At least the own the libs crowd is fully admitting their causing harm by buying the game. I respect them more then the people trying to twist themselves into pretzels trying to find a way they can play the funny wizard game and not support anti trans hate groups.

this must be how Udinaas felt when Ruin made his move

[Spicyryan]

Why is it impossible for some people to talk about Harry Potter without an assload of stupid trans shit?

Silchas Ruin had better motivations than these fuckos at least.

Why all the hubub for the game when new HP legos are always coming out? We’re the anger swarm for Lego? Where’s the hatred for bookstores that carry HP products of all kind and constantly release new stuff? Hot Topic and all those other mall stores selling HP products by the boatload. No hate for that stuff. Just the game? Which is probably the least profitable venture Rowling has going for her. The hatred these people have for people who want to play the game… they shouldn’t be stepping foot in Walmart or Target. They shouldn’t be on Amazon. Yet that doesn’t bother them. Just the video game. No, just the people who want to play the video game. Because it’s easy to do online without putting in any effort?

Anyone able to tell my why this anger is so laser focused on a video game and nothing else?

These people would have to actually go to the store in person to protest it. Instead of just being obnoxious online over it.

In my case I'm in a gaymer group on FB and someone posted a pic with (I assume real) multiple end game spoilers together with an angry comment about JKR under a post from someone enjoying the game

The hate and drama around this game is just stupid.

If you don't want to play it because of anti-trans shit, that's fine. What bothers be are the people that make death threats and flame other people and streamers, calling them bigoted and trans-haters for simply playing the game. There are numerous streamers that have stated they want to play the game but are refraining from doing so out of fear they'll get cancelled for it.

I'm guessing I saw the same pic. I saw the first spoiler in it, almost started reading the second line before I tore my eyes away

Don't you see. By stopping people from playing it, they have solved all the issues that trans people face.

Yeah where do trans people get off being angry about people supporting a hateful bigot who wants them to get raped in prisons and killed.

Honestly, if mrbeansman hadn't been going off about this game in poopdeck, I wouldn't have even realized it was coming out. Nor would I have looked into the game and gotten more interested in it. So you can say I bought this game thanks to him.

Truly doing the lord's work.

There is a difference between an astroturfed tantrum while declaring anyone engaging in a videogame is condoning violence, and disapproval of something with a tie to the anti-trans movement. This all comes off as less advocacy and more militant assault of even a kid walking to school with a Hogwarts backpack. The game was made by and enjoyed by a diverse community, so why don't you be an ally instead? Lol

Also, I don't know or follow JK Rowling's stance beyond the famous "sex is real" and "people who menstate" stuff. However, I sincerely doubt she is advocating or desires for the murder, rape, and imprisonment of transexuals. Such statements aren't rare anymore from aggressive trans advocates online. It comes off as hysterically hyperbolic and I would think completely undermines the movement. JKR is far too mild for such reaction and bellicosity.

Rather than highlighting the real threats or the reality of serious harassment and violence or murder against transsexuals. There is just a bunch of horseshit and public freakouts over Harry Potter.

A majority will, or at least should be with the trans community in the face of bathroom bills or the heartfelt explanations of the struggles of reality from teens. Who go through not only the relatable turbulence of being a teen, but a reality beyond it twofold of being trans in a nontrans world. That empathy and understanding is paramount to the movement. The fucking pearl clutching and virtue signaling over an inquisition at Hogwarts though is just an obnoxious mistake.

making shit up definitely helps the cause. Keep up the good work

[Madeline]

This covers a good portion of the shit she's actually said.

Stop making shit up. It doesn't help transgender individuals to say she's said a bunch of shit she didn't. She's awful, yes. But keep it on base. You're adding validity to her claims that transgender activism is unhinged as fuck.

Which as time goes on, becomes truer because we can't fucking fact check every idiot that wants to add a new tag to the controversy.

All the southern baptists who tried to cancel HP for witchcraft in the early 2000s seeming pretty tame now
