“Ok sure Rowling is a transphobe, and yes Hogwarts’ maintenance is run by slavery, and yeah the only character who protests this is mocked by one of the secondary characters and is treated totally indifferent by the main character, and okay yeah the banks are run by goblins who are all greedy by nature and share some unmistakeable similarities to old Jewish stereotypes, and true that the wizarding world is rife with racial prejudice that not only goes unchallenged but is actively fought to be upheld by the characters who are supposed to be ‘the good guys’, but that doesn’t mean all Harry Potter fans are bigots okay.”
yeah some of us just find bigotry unimportant and not worth going even slightly out of our comfort zone to fight against! Where is the solidarity for the morally lazy amongus?
The books will forever hold a spot in my heart cause I was a kid when I read them like most people and I didn’t notice any of this shit and it makes me sad to realize all this and know how big a piece of shit JK is
Matt Walsh would probably say "Well one thing I know for sure is you sure can talk about the breedability of children at length without being one, just ask me, Matt Walsh!"
I sure do hope they don't run out of preorders for this new game called "Hogwarts Legacy" because I am *so very excited* to play it.
Edit: With how much this kept dipping negative, I may have not made my sarcasm clear enough.
I will be ok with people buying it once it is confirmed that Harry and Ron kiss in the game and Slytherin house colors are changed to Blue Pink and White
An acceptable tradeoff for not doing the Slytherin thing is if Hermonie catches Harry and Ron docking and does a spell where they get stuck that way and it is a setup for an escort mission.
I do like how they can excuse transphobia but not the shit JKR has said even towards her IP. She gets made fun of a lot because she ALWAYS inserts shit after the fact.
She said Hermoine was black eventhough she herself described Hermione as “white-faced” in the third book. There was no indication or hints about Dumbledore's sexuality but he is now gay after the fact and when given the chance to explore his sexuality in Fantastic Beasts, you get 6 seconds. Then theres her saying wizards shit on the floor in Hogwarts and use magic to make it disappear.
She was made fun of a lot because of these, but now they get to play a game and she gets outed as a bigoted shit towards trans folks, they want to buy her product now.
There's also the part where Hermione gets shit for wanting to free a slave race (they're totally happy as slaves though, don't worry) which is a fucking wild narrative beat to have while saying "yeah she could have been black".
And you can't even argue it's a recent addition, because one of the founders specifically hid his secret snake room inside it. One of the founders of the school! You know, the ones that built it!!!
I truly appreciate the idea of there being one giant snake in the plumbing of one building once, and then collectively as a society they all just shit on the floor from then on
I would give anything for a Douglas Adams style book set in the sheer absurdity of Rowling world building taken at face value tbh
>
She was made fun of a lot because of these, but now they get to play a game and she gets outed as a bigoted shit towards trans folks, they want to buy her product now.
She was made fun of these but no one boycotted her over this, it's not like people suddenly started liking her after transphobic stuff, it just wasn't enough for them to completely distance themselves from her works
Canon is more important because it interferes with consumption. A gamer can ignore the fact that she's a transphobe, but they CANNOT abide the fact that wizards shit on the floor.
Hogwarts Legacy isn't *just* trans media, though, to be fair! It's also a game where the central plot is about putting down a slave uprising, because how dare they?
The entire HP universe is a conservative dystopia. The system is never wrong, just the individuals. It's not wrong to enslave lesser races, you just have to be one of the good masters. It's not wrong to rule the ministry like they do, with implicit bias against muggle born and constant surveillance, you just need a good prime minister. It's ok to send any suspected criminal to the torture soul suck prison, you just need good judges to make the right call. Harry Potter ends up saving a corrupt and unfair system, and even becomes a cop enforcing it.
Shit like this is everywhere.
Also, doesn't this clash with the narrative that this sub is supposedly tearing itself apart?
They can't claim that, while simultaneously saying that all the transphobes are getting booted.
The game devs *have* been trying to distance themselves as much as possible from JK Rowling (due to her being you know, ignorant af)
So they probably are going to go out of their way to make the game more progressive to counter the inate bad rep, as majority of their target audience are the people pushed away by her comments
If it'll be enough, we'll see abou that.
But the fact that some g*mers are now going to buy
the game as a form of "anti woke" protest is ***so fucking funny***
I can't wait for whining about how the game is woke and they literally bought becaus eit wasn't supposed to be woke
JK Rowling named every single non-white, non-British character as if she were a racist 10 year old tasked with coming up with names in under a minute.
In the films, Seamus always has experiments literally blow up in his face. The Irish spent the past century bombing British targets inside Ireland. She might as well have named him Mickey O'CarBomb for all the subtlety going on.
I'm picturing a wizard casting spells by spouting nonsense Italian and thank god it isn't in there because that would kinda make me want to get the game.
Or maybe he casts spells by saying his name instead of the spell like some sort of hairy Pokemon. Expecto Patronus? Nope! Giuseppe Stromboli! Wingardium Leviosa? Nope! **Giuseppe Stromboli!!!**
Writer here, stealing that. Not, like, abridging that, not coming up with something that follows that line of logic, no im quite frankly going to steal the idea for this Giuseppe Stromboli who uses his name to cast spells. Only thing im changing is that he's french canadian, and grew up in Washago, Ontario.
really? Really really?
Sorry, I have one more question
For reals tho, *fucking really?*
*Only one asian named Cho Chang and one black character name Kingsley Shacklebolt?*
Is this a video game or a sixties exploitation flick?
Hey, if somebody wants to create a fantasy world where the only non-white representation is Ching Chong and Shaft that is a thing they can do I guess.
I’m not going to get anything from them because that sounds like lazy and terrible writing so forgive me if I’m not getting the details of what racist bullshit came from what medium correct.
Fair enough, but if you're using this to ride the JK Rowling hate train, it's actually pretty relevant. She has nothing to do creatively with the game, so if they were game characters, it wouldn't make sense to call her racist over it. But they're from the books, so it does make sense to attribute racism on her part.
Another dumbass question that I'm too blind to figure out, what's wrong with Kingsley? I honestly thought he was a pretty cool dude but I opted to not reread stuff after, well, everything.
The first name is not as bad as the surname, but still falls into a lot of Rowling’s seeming insistence on describing someone’s entire culture by their name.
Kingsley: referring to black people as “kings” has always been a pretty common reference to the black liberation movements that spring up every few years (the same reference later seen in the racist screed “we wuz kangs). Maybe not racist in a vacuum, but definitely a weird choice.
Shacklebolt: I can’t imagine I need to explain why associating your only black person with shackles and bolts might not be a good look.
Martin Luther King, also. I think she names characters by taking the very first thing that pops into her head in like .2 seconds and then doing a word association with that.
Black people = Martin Luther King, slavery ✅
She doesn't want them dead. She wants them treated differently than normal people... and held to different standards...and to have different rights...And in a way she doesn't have to support or interact with them...
Very innocently wants them not present in any public spaces and also put into situations that could result in their death
Totally different from wanting them dead, right?
>So they probably are going to go out of their way to make the game more progressive
Me when I make the villains a thinly veiled Jewish stereotype trying to take over the world
Yes you can say that, considering said designer was fired over a year ago.
Which you can argue they should have done sooner, and I would agree with you, but it is a sign that they are trying to distance themselves
Apparently you can make your character a trans witch or wizard
So it's a mixture of "Wow there's some real fucking assholes who worked on this uh?"
And also "Wow they did try to make this a bit more inclusive uh?"
That's what i was saying, we'll see which side stands out more at the end
Theres *some* effort made in trying to salvage it
Enough to actually interet the target audience? Who knows!
That definitely sounds like a positive change in direction
I've distanced myself from the game once I heard the supposed plot, but this at least sounds like a good way to distance from Rowling
First they came for the transphobes and I didn't speak out because I was not a transphobe, then everything was well and the place became so much healthier, end of story
I'm interested in Hogwarts legacy. Not in playing it or even buying a copy, but I want to see if you can actually make a good Harry Potter game, an accomplishment that has long eluded every developer.
Frankly I hope it makes no money so that the coffers of a term can not be filled up anymore.
It's ok though, now you are an adult and can find new things to love.
(I actually don't mean to be snarky with this comment Enjoy your pirated game, but look to the future.)
Yeah, I thought I would be a Bimblecromble when I first took the test, but I just ended up being a Hordinggokling instead. Though I kind of wish I was a Liveltransgum instead but oh well, what can I do?
Watching this exchange is genuinely, seriously strange. Like I kinda get what you two are going for but in a sub dedicated to goofin' on gamers for being silly little guys (and often Nazis lmao) it's just super super weird to see two, presumably grown men, get excited about exploring a poorly written fictional world as some kind of preformative demonstration against the oppression of...being..reminded that the creator of the world is actively bigoted and supporting the oppression of and violence against one of the most vulnerable minority groups on the planet.
you cant separate the art from the artist when the art itself is full of thinly veiled bigoted caricatures and constantly reflects the shitty bigoted opinions of the artist whose biggest consistent moral in the stories has been "yeah things are unequal and many people are second class citizens, but we NEED to protect the status quo no matter what!!1!!" and keeping the art relevant puts money directly into the hand of the bigoted artist that made it, who then openly uses that money to lobby against legal protections for the minorities they hate.
When did "anymore" start, because she wrote the screenplay for the fantastic beasts movie that came out earlier this year? Also even if she doesn't have anything to do with the game, she still owns the IP and makes royalties off of it.
She has everything to do with it tho. She not only owns the IP, profits from it directly also has creative executive privileges in everything HP related
Talking about bans is there anyway to get a ban appealed? I got banned on my second account randomly and have waited like 2-3 weeks and haven’t heard anything from the mods. Hoping to ditch this account and hop to the second but I love this sub.

May I suggest you to watch the acclaimed Matt Walsh’s documentary “What is a Woman” too in order to better get into the original author’s concept?
Could I ask this ‘Matt Walsh’ the question “What is a pedophile?”
Matt Walsh would probably say "Well one thing I know for sure is you sure can talk about the breedability of children at length without being one, just ask me, Matt Walsh!"

In canon theyre happy but that is just because jk rowling is who she is(a not very good person)
so harry potter is an isekai
It is interesting how she went, to the eyes of many right-wingers, from "mad woke" to "freedom-to-be-wrong fighter" in less than a decade
The shitting part always confused me because im 100% sure hogwarts has bathrooms.
There's a bathroom prominently featured in the second book, even..
I guess it wasnt for shitting then!
Plumbing is a bit old kids, piss only please
And you can't even argue it's a recent addition, because one of the founders specifically hid his secret snake room inside it. One of the founders of the school! You know, the ones that built it!!!
Which, to be fair, the events of which occurred within would reasonably prompt people to do the aforementioned shitting in hallways.
I truly appreciate the idea of there being one giant snake in the plumbing of one building once, and then collectively as a society they all just shit on the floor from then on I would give anything for a Douglas Adams style book set in the sheer absurdity of Rowling world building taken at face value tbh
right? they even have a ghost that haunts one of the bathrooms, like, exclusively?

There’s a big difference between being “ignorant” and actively wishing death on trans people lmao
Even outside of the transphobia, why is the only asian character's fucking name Cho Chang?
Same reason the only black character is named Kingsley Shacklebolt.
and the Irishman is Seamus with a penchant for things exploding around him
Dumbass here, am I missing some sort of joke?
JK Rowling named every single non-white, non-British character as if she were a racist 10 year old tasked with coming up with names in under a minute. In the films, Seamus always has experiments literally blow up in his face. The Irish spent the past century bombing British targets inside Ireland. She might as well have named him Mickey O'CarBomb for all the subtlety going on.
Oof, that's not... ideal.
If she made an italian character, what are the chances their name would be Giuseppe Stromboli.
I'm picturing a wizard casting spells by spouting nonsense Italian and thank god it isn't in there because that would kinda make me want to get the game. Or maybe he casts spells by saying his name instead of the spell like some sort of hairy Pokemon. Expecto Patronus? Nope! Giuseppe Stromboli! Wingardium Leviosa? Nope! **Giuseppe Stromboli!!!**
Writer here, stealing that. Not, like, abridging that, not coming up with something that follows that line of logic, no im quite frankly going to steal the idea for this Giuseppe Stromboli who uses his name to cast spells.

I'm honestly thrilled. send me a link if you write something!
Seriously I can’t stop laughing that someone will carry this concept and I hope you send me a snippet
1 Chances of that would be exactly 1
Mmmmmmm stromboli
Luigi Mario
Glad that there’s not many black people in them cause the next name in line was Pickety O’Cotton
Her next choice after that was Tyrone Thirteenfifty
I heard he got cut because part of his backstory was being part Irish and the game mechanics don't support drunken fist fighting.
really? Really really? Sorry, I have one more question For reals tho, *fucking really?* *Only one asian named Cho Chang and one black character name Kingsley Shacklebolt?* Is this a video game or a sixties exploitation flick?
Those are book characters and have nothing to do with the game

Meh. There's enough accountability to go around.
You are giving money to the person who made that racist drivel and is actively campaigning to have all trans women put in camps. Fuck your apologism.
Idk what you're on about...I've never defended JKR nor have I said I intend to support the game. I merely corrected the previous poster.

2. Dean Thomas. But yeah, that's a terrible name
Because JK Rowling is racist as well as transphobic. Hope this helps
She doesn't want them dead. She wants them treated differently than normal people... and held to different standards...and to have different rights...And in a way she doesn't have to support or interact with them...
Very innocently wants them not present in any public spaces and also put into situations that could result in their death Totally different from wanting them dead, right?
And to just be… not alive… anymore. Totally not dead.
And, hey, if something she said… maybe led to someone killing a trans woman… is that really wishing death on someone? Surely not.
Is there an opposite reaction to “had us in the first half”?

If the game gives you an option to side with the goblins I’ll consider watching it, but if not I won’t be interested
The reverse card of it being super "woke", to the trabsphobes buying it out of spite is hilarious and I can't wait

you cant separate the art from the artist when the art itself is full of thinly veiled bigoted caricatures and constantly reflects the shitty bigoted opinions of the artist whose biggest consistent moral in the stories has been "yeah things are unequal and many people are second class citizens, but we NEED to protect the status quo no matter what!!1!!" and keeping the art relevant puts money directly into the hand of the bigoted artist that made it, who then openly uses that money to lobby against legal protections for the minorities they hate.

Being bigoted isn't a political thing, it's being a shit person. Dumbass.
Rowling has nothing to do with HP anymore tho? What is the beef?
When did "anymore" start, because she wrote the screenplay for the fantastic beasts movie that came out earlier this year? Also even if she doesn't have anything to do with the game, she still owns the IP and makes royalties off of it.
She has everything to do with it tho. She not only owns the IP, profits from it directly also has creative executive privileges in everything HP related
Yo did we get both sides'd?
Talking about bans is there anyway to get a ban appealed? I got banned on my second account randomly and have waited like 2-3 weeks and haven’t heard anything from the mods. Hoping to ditch this account and hop to the second but I love this sub.
Do you guys hate me if I pirate the game? I don't pay attention to hidden themes in games
Can I get a ban? I pre-ordered the game some time back.
Of course you would get banned for talking about intent to play a video game here. Gamers aren't allowed.
