I just don't even understand why some people are so pressed by this that they end up hating on random people who want to play games. Like I'm not 100% knowledgeable of what the controversy is even about, but holy fuck are some people sad and stuff like this just makes people want to support the game more. That's like attacking people who listen to Kanye West.
she's publicly stated that she sees people buying things from the harry potter world as supporting her beliefs, and her beliefs are incredibly transphobic. I don't automatically judge people who buy this game because not that many people have seen the posts where she said that, but if people buy the game while knowing JKR sees it as support for transphobia, they're a transphobe too
J.K. Rowling has publicly said, multiple times, that every dollar she gets in royalties goes to anti-trans programs.
No you're not a transphobe for buying the game, however you're directly giving money to programs that support her TERF believes
And yes its gonna suck for devs, but that's just such a small minority compared to the trans people who you're directly harming if you were to pretend that Rowling wasn't attached to the title. Its just a lose lose either way and you'll have to pick what of the 2 you think is the lesser evil.
Outside of the obvious ones like the Asian character named Cho Chang and a black character named Kingsley ShackleBolt (seriously?) The goblins are clearly caricatures of Jewish people. The designs are nearly identical to depictions in nazi propaganda posters and there's a star of David in Gringott's bank. It's the only fantasy book where Goblins are somehow the rich bank owners and the common anti-semetic trope that they're greedy and manipulative.
and in litreally every other game/fiction you will see that goblin are attracted towards gold and in Harry potter world there currency is gold . Goblins protect there gold above anything thats why they are showns as keepers of the gold
and as of dungeons gold is a valuble item so its kept in undergroud vaults for protection
Just because something is unintentional doesn't make it not bad.
If I made a game where you play as a russian invading ukraine and it shows russia as the good guys for invading ukraine, even if it wasn't intended to be a pro-putin agenda, it obviously still has the parallels so we would say it's bad.
Not to say that I really care all that much about it since the harm isn't really there and I don't care about cancelling harry potter, just pointing out that there is the parallel
They literally have characters named Potter,longbottom,Weasley and u pick on that💀💀💀. Goblins are depicted in that way in every piece of fiction. Wtf are u saying. In Japanese stuff they are depicted as creatures who capture women as sex slaves. They are always portrayed like that. Normally I hate the use of word snowflake but I gotta say u are acting like a cringe snowflake. Hp series is one of the best fictional book series written for young adults. Ppl are braindead if they think the books have anything depicting racism
Alright then where am I supposed to post my non valo related opinions???...... Fking vlr mate??????
I'm not going to attack PPL who want to play HP legacy, nither am i attacking the devs, the farthest i will go is to advise against playing the game but that's it, if u like to play it go ahead
I would definitely leave Twitter if there was an alternative, but there isn't.....
