Not sure how you managed to extrapolate all that from my comment but your heart seems in the right place even if you can't read
This arguments won't go anywhere, except a flame war.
So please, both of you, kindly accept the disagreement, and move on.

and yet, there's plenty of dogshit apologists in this thread arguing to "just let people play games" because they have zero self control. this place is literally no different than the other.

It's disappointing that even here on the fediverse people are cheering for the franchise of someone who's sole motivation these days seems to be hating trans people.
Every time I see Harry Potter or J.K. Rowling's name in the news I look for comments like these to restore a tiny bit of my sanity.

Gift link, so it should be accessible to all.
Oh no... anyways.

shows up 5 hrs late to do literally nothing of value. actively harms any ability to even remotely learn from this because i can't read what i wrote even in my own history.
christ no wonder this site is dead as a fucking doornail.
I have a life, I can't just be 24/7 checking new report, and I don't know any mean to get notified when one is opened.
As for the value of my action, if you feel like my action isn't legitimate, you can either contact the other mods or the Admins.

There's about a thousand and one other people involved with the franchise after 8 movies, 3 spinoff movies, a play and a dozen or so videogames.
Rowling is pretty much irrelevant and people aren't into the HP stuff because they particularly want to give her money.
-
you are giving money to rowling with the purchase of any offically licensed harry potter product. that allows her to continue pushing her bullshit.
there are actual trans-supportive games out there to support and stop trying to make excuses for your inability to get past your nostalgia.
Rowling having slightly more money makes no difference to her spewing her views, she is set for life anyway. Yes I'd like to avoid giving her money, but a much stronger signal I'd like to send is that a game with trans characters sells well.
-
Why'd you give money to a terf?
Because I'm tired of being told what to be outraged about

Still waiting for them to drop Denuvo so I can pirate it. Yes, I am aware there are some old builds out there, but I know what kind of crazy circumvented Denuvo in those. No, thanks.

Seeing how the game prominently features trans characters and that Rowling wasn't involved in making it, it probably doesn't bother many people.
Rowling has enough money to donate to shitty politics for the rest of her life ten times over.
Attempts to "not support her" are about 3 decades too late and entirely irrelevant at this point beyond making people feel good about themselves.
We're talking about the world's first and only writer to become a billionaire with her books here.

She is directly benefitting from the sales and people buying Harry Potter stuff know that.

ah yes, the singular other mod that hasn't made a comment in 2 years???
and how can any of them disagree with you? do any of you even have the ability to review the comments?
If you can't handle calling out bigotry then you're on the side of the bigots. you stance enables the bigots. civilty can only exist when the bigots are dead.

it means nothing besides them trying to profit from the nostalgia ridden queers. again, yall could support actual queer works instead of work with a thin veneer of it.
-
Yeah so are about a thousand other people who worked on the franchise/product in question and may be very positive influences on the world.
Trying to deny a literal billionaire money is symbolic at best.
Do you feel the same about boycotting Tesla?

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Especially when you've only ever read one book.
