So are these activists now Gamers(tm) too? Meanwhile JKR replies:

 

[Thirty7ven]

Is a trans witch a moogle that converted to a bruxa?

Hogwarts Legacy at home:

 

[ExcitableBoy]

These people are mentally ill.

 

[hemo memo]

How would transgender even work in the Harry Potter universe, like couldn't you cast an actual spell to make you change your gender?

I guess you get the whole package like a womb and reproductive parts and the hormones. Beard style would take a hit.

 

[Topher]

For the record, I don't think anyone claiming to be a witch is really a witch. Just a bunch of make believe.

Eddie shouldn't you be in this thread putting out fires:

This reminds me of that Peta Pokemon game. I'm sure it'll be just as successful!

Ture. Witchcraft is just as silly as any religion or supernatural belief.

Fuck you Jobu! I do it myself!

"Gamers are fighting back." LOL okay. That is "fighting back"? The never ending sales of the game say you lost and your "fighting back" is more proof you are a loser who has never touched grass or a boob before.

 

[Kilau]

Cool, providing this list of games is helpful.

 

[Jack Videogames]

Raised 79K$ eh? Nice, nice.

Now let's see how much Hogwarts Legacy has sold.

 

[nial]

What an ironic number they land on. Totally not sexual deviants 24/7.

My exact same thoughts, they identify as women in porn and want to be treated as such. Then you have those people calling their breast implants gross things like "mommy milkers".

You will pass, they won't, if you know what I mean.

 

[Topher]

Fuck you Jobu! I do it myself!

Fun fact, after Pedro Cerrano quit playing baseball, he went on to be quite the insurance salesman.

 

[-Zelda-]

this is getting out of control

Now there are TWO of them!

Sorry. Could not resist.

 

[Bernardougf]

LMAO .. there always someone ready to get rich at the expense of dumb crazy people .. i love it

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Trans witches are wizards.

Holy shit! I had no idea that was him.

Enjoy playing those shit games. I'll be on Hogwarts.

No you can't and it's pretty obvious you can't just cast a spell to change your gender.

I really don't understand one thing:

Let's say you belong to a minority group. Wouldn't it make sense for such a group to try to make a positive impression in any circumstance, so that people perceive them as nice people?

And by positive impression I don't mean doing whatever is needed, regardless if it's right or wrong, just to appeal to the majority group. I'm rather thinking of behaving like nice, sane, likeable people.

It is very unfortunate that this whole Hogwarts controversy sheds a very negative light on the transgender community, by making them look like RABID IDIOTS.

J.K. Rowling is not a transphobe, nor did she ever say something transphobic. It's a simple fact.

This whole Hogwarts controversy isn't actually about transphobia, it's simply about very basic reading comprehension.

 

[Imtjnotu]

 

[Loomy]

This whole thing is stupid. It seems like not one single person who is pissed at this game actually fucking played it.

Or should you perhaps leave the poorly-designed game alone and focus on other RPGs, maybe ones that don’t directly funnel money into Rowling’s sizeable bank account?

This game is decent with a few questionable design decisions. Which makes it average at worst. That Wired article had this gem:

The gameplay feels dated. The graphics feel like they’re a couple generations behind.

In what world does this look/feel like a PS3 game?

It's so hard to have serious conversations about this thing when everyone's being so fucking disingenuous about it.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'm starting a new character as a trans witch and I'm going to mod a load of dildos as my wands, name my cat Jaina and my brooms a huge Sybian.

 

[ergem]

They want to profit from the woke’s insanity. Clever.

 

[RoboFu]

Gamers? No stop projecting untruths. A TINY GROUP OF GAMERS.

 

[Fake]

Gamers are toxic​

Gamers are Fighting Back​

One of my least favorite things about mentally disturbed biological males,
is that they love to mentally, emotionally, and physically trample on women.

It comes in this form:

Finally, I’ve been itching to play these beloved classics, like…

“Making Friends”, “Once Upon a Birthday” and.. “Magical Enby Against Transphobia”.

Ok. MSN, too, then.

Christ, this is all so painfully stupid.

MSN is just a news aggregator. It's just using content from https://www.intomore.com/

I'm starting a new character as a trans witch and I'm going to mod a load of dildos as my wands, name my cat Jaina and my brooms a huge Sybian.

And this was different from your first play through how exactly ...

If people want to boycott something - fine, I support that.

If people want to raise money for helping the trans community - great, so long as the money goes towards them.

But piss off if you want to conflate JKR's viewpoints with the Devs of the game implying there's something even remotely hateful towards that group in the games especially when it has a trans character and options to make a trans student. We also shouldn't be shitting on all trans people in general based on the views of some. They aren't a hivemind any more than other groups.

 

[Unknown?]

Fuck MSN, they are stenographers for the government. I.E. CIA.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I really don't understand one thing:

Wouldn't it make sense

That's the problem.

 

[Stuart360]

What do they mean 'Gamers are fighting back'?, actual gamers are playing the game, including a lot of the loonies.

Supporting games by trans people is s good idea per se.

What is not a good idea is insult your potential audience with "buy these games or whe should start to think you're a piece of shit".

 

[TheDuskwalker]

"Poorly designed game"

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

lol how is that helping trans game devs by buying their games at a steep discount for under a dollar? That’s more like robbing them than supporting them.

Nothing about JKR's viewpoint is even hateful towards trans people though.

 

[names are for friends]

I really don't understand one thing:

99% of all people everywhere simply repeat things without thinking about their substance because they use a sort of social heuristic to determine what is or isn't 'good' information. Now you have the forbidden truth of the world it's time to develop "mental disorder"

lol how is that helping trans game devs by buying their games at a steep discount for under a dollar? That’s more like robbing them than supporting them.

it's all RPG maker and Ren'Py games made in a weekend... I saw a visual novel that listed "over 4000 words" as a selling point. These games are absolutely not worth 60 dollars lol
