I know the state of gaming journalism involving this game has been… something… but if you take a step back and read it - it seems pretty inoffensive and probably the least “preachy” of any of the major sites.
But yeah I understand. Do know though he is, at least several years ago, a legit good dude!

What is hilarious is no matter how much they bend the knee to the psychopaths at REEEE it’s only a matter of time before those lunatics come for you too. You’d think these douchebags would learn.

It hurts, it really hurts as someone who wants to see a fully progressive and liberal society to see people who are supposedly ‘Allies’ that just can’t forgive a slight or argue a counter point.
Sorry for being slightly political here but I’m about as left as it gets, and most of the shit I’m seeing over this game is fucking ridiculous. And especially over JK Rowling’s comments: controversial maybe but evil? Inhumane? Hell is it even offensive? Did anybody bother to read any of it before they jumped to the bandwagon?

it's not the statement itself that bothered me. it's the ongoing, doomed-to-fail attempt by some fair-minded individuals to attempt to reason with &/or meet these wokester's halfway. because, as they've very unapologetically made very clear for quite some time now, it's just so damned pointless an exercise in futility...

LOL! Does this mean the "go woke, go broke" hater crowd will not boycott the game they bought 24 hours ago?

I 1,000% agree with you!!! I disliked a decent amount of her trans comments, but she's not evil. Plus she has nothing to do with this game. But there's crazy people on all political sides. And we are seeing the crazies on the left here.

This user bought the Digital Deluxe version for my daughter (Madalyn) and myself. I can’t thank him enough. And thanks to everyone else that said they would help as well. I can’t express my gratitude enough.
We got the PS5 version. She has yet to play on the PS5, so this will be her first game on it. She normally plays on her switch, her tablet or my Series X. I figured she’d get a kick out of the dualsense features.
Thanks again
I hope she has a wonderful time with the game. And kudos to

10/10I immediately knew this was the transgender because their voice is legit one of the manliest in the game, lulz.
Also - one of the female teachers is lesbian. I know this because she goes out her way to say she has a wife. Which is of course the only way you will ever learn this and of course only the gay character has to say they have a same-sex partner but hey, representation for the win!

Thread on the other site is still closed. Imagine banning even mentioning what could end up being the game of the year.
All this over Rowling killing transgender people (when she actually said she supports them).

I like that this person believes that Era has only now become "off the rails" and "moderation is some real crazy echo chamber shit now". For those of us that have been paying attention; it's same shit, different day.

'Oppression' = some angry tweets about how the term woman is being eradicated, about how trans rights impinge on women's rights, and about how human biology cannot be ignored.
None of them will get what they want, until they start to engage in good faith with women who are raising these entirely understandable concerns. There is an amicable solution here, but it requires biological males to make some concessions.

Haven't you heard? Science is now an oppressing regime. Telling men they do not have a uterus is = to murder.
Literally Saving hundreds of women and lobbying to keep men convicted of rape out of womens prisons makes her the worst kind of tyrant.
This trans prisoner has divided Britain
Isla Bryson, who was convicted of raping two women, has sparked a fierce debate about allowing transgender women to serve their sentence in female prisons.

there is no 'both' side for those community of people. its like how hivemind at that that other site operated. it is one of finest example. it is either choose their side, or gtfo.
want to be neutral? nah. same. only option you have is their side only. even if you just breathing. all of this under pretence of 'freedom of speech'. thats how they operated. thats how also other site operated. thats why its looks like there is many of them. simply because they remove everyone else out due to insane insecurities. thats why they always 'afraid'. because the loud 'vocal' is merely a fake illusion.

The most ironic part about people freaking out over the JKR non-issue is that Hogwart's Legacy has the single best character creator for black people I've ever seen. It also has not only a trans character but a lesbian. It also has the most racially diverse cast of characters of ANY game I can recall. These are all things that these same people whine about wanting to see in gaming all the time, here they have it on a silver platter, and they are still sperging out about invented Twitter narratives.

We've sadly reached a point where its more important to show that you are part of a tribe than it is to engage with reality. This is something both sides of politics are equally guilty of. Long gone are the days when people would actually look into something properly, before forming an opinion. Confirmation bias is so strong, thanks to social media bullshittery. No one actually goes and looks at what JK Rowling has said. They just believe what others tell them she said. I've repeatedly asked people on multiple platforms to show me clear evidence of her transphobia - and I never get a response. Because what she said is not transphobic. But it does disagree with what some trans people think.
And these days, being in disagreement = being a nazi terf cunt who deserves to die. It's absolutely horrific, stupid, counter productive, and wrong.

The lighting for the black characters especially with the hair is absolutely amazing (at least in fidelity mode). I’d actually say the curly hairstyles looks a lot more natural than the I guess you could say the normal white-guy straight hair, which actually looks a bit off. When it’s almost always they other way around in every other game.
That curly hair has some damn magic going on

"oppression" my black arse.
Nobody is forcing these clowns to have purple hair, pronouns and all the other vapid meaningless crap they attach their identities to.
Just be normal. Contribute to society in a positive way, it will make you feel better. Is it that hard?

the extraordinary success of this game goes a long way in clarifying something that the main stream media, & several western governments, have been going out of their way attempting to convince us of, which's the idea that it's the vast majority of us who support both wokeism & the trans extremists, & it's a fringe, fanatical minority that don't. because it's quite obvious, at this point, that, even had this ever actually been true (which i'm pretty sure it never was), it most definitely no longer is...

These people are so fucking fake. Polygon refused to review the game but they have a dozens articles in the past few days explaining mechanics, puzzles, choice, etc. ? Like if you're protesting Hogwart's Legacy, why do you keep writing articles about things you wouldn't know without playing?

actively contributing to the hype surrounding a game that, in all good conscience, you'll either never play, or wait & play a used copy (surreptitiously) so you won't be supporting the developer, does indeed require a certain unique group of cognitively dissonant individuals...

asked in one of the Hogwarts threads, what exactly did JK say that is worthy of the ReE-Brigade trying to destroy her over?
This is the tweet that started it all:

Yep it’s why I asked to be banned off the site. Going on there just made me angry. And I’m left as fuck. It’s hilarious to me they think Neogaf as a forum is just as bad but on the right side of things - are there homophobic sentiments here? Sure. But there’s the opposite too. And no one gets outright banned unless they are particularly outwardly egregious in their biases.

I couldn’t even make my character pale enough to match my pasty ass hs skin. It’s like the reverse of every game creator in history that made white the default. And frankly should be celebrated for that.
