Hogwarts Legacy looks amazing! They had me when they showed your character can use Avada Kedavra. Fans comparing it to Bully, one of my favorite games ever, has me excited even more.

Are you going to pirate it?

No way! NAYRT But I'm going to buy that sucker.

Another NAYRT, but yes, I will be.

Uh, I play on PS5, I'm not going to jailbreak it just to pirate one game. The game will show up used in a week or two after launch anyway.

Do you somehow think your insane crusade against one woman might have become unhinged at this point? She's one tiny part of this, a game that represents the hard work of hundreds of others. Or does that not matter, you frickin whackadoodle.

Not OP but she is a very prominent bigot and supporter of bigotry and she will make money from this. It's something you should at least think about, whatever decision you come to.

This.

No, she isn't. She's right, plain and simple.

Hope this helps explain why "JK isn't the only one who worked on the game! Won't someone think of the devs!" is concern trolling.

LMAo "crusade" though I hardly even care about her, and honestly could have lived without seeing this tweet on my timeline, but since I did and you decided to make assumptions about me based on one short question, I'm happy to provide evidence against you.

What a crock of shit.

the devs are already getting paid, though. their livelihood is not in jeopardy if this particular game fails. and i was actually on the side of "maybe the anti-jk stuff is going a bit hard" until she started tweeting her abject approval of "wild womyn", which, just so we're on the same page, sells merch along the lines of a button with trans flag colors that says "sorry about your dick, bro" and "trans men are women".

i'm sorry, really-- like i used to be a huge fan of hp too. i KNOW this hurts. but it's not even enough to just not give that woman money anymore (and she WILL make hella royalties from hogwarts legacy), it's time to move on. it's time to bury it and leave it behind. she often uses the fact that it's still an insanely popular franchise to "prove" that there's a "silent majority" that agrees with her, and i'm just... not ok with that anymore. it's not ok anymore.

I'm with you. Anything that is associated with her that does well continues to give her legitimacy and boost her platform. She is doing real harm, and I can't contribute to boosting her IP.

The silent majority does agree with her.

All the replies to your comment are correct. Maybe you need a bit of perspective before you attack others, especially if you’re going to be willfully ignorant about it.

Well, her wealth and fame enable people who want me dead, so... nope.

Now THAT is concern trolling. Brava.

Lol it's not a crusade. She just doesn't make me want to support her work anymore, anon. The other day, I was in the theater for Batman and saw a trailer for the new Fantastic Beasts movie and I was like, "Oh they replaced Johnny Depp with Mads Mikkelsen! I like Mads, I should give this one a chance--urgh, oh wait, Joanne..."

See? It's not a constant thing, but when you damage your brand with bigotry and make people associate your stuff with grossness, it just doesn't inspire them to spend money.

She hasn't damaged her brand. She has an opinion, and a huge number of women agree with her, despite the attempts to frighten her into submission.

Twitter was comparing the what we saw of the game to Bully, not the developers.

sounds fitting to me - seems like the kind of game certain HP fans who still adore JK would like.

oh fuck off

Seconding the fuck off.
