I'm getting flashbacks to Hogwarts Legacy when trans people were upset about the character creation in that game for some reason.

My very first character in that game was a witch with a masculine body type (I like pants) with bright-ass turquoise hair. The game has issues, but the character creation was the least of them.

The reason for the backlash is that it all felt performative when the creator is online calling all trans women rapists, pedophiles and groomers.

The game was just saying, "Don't think about that- give us money anyways! Just don't think about where the money is going!"

Rowling didn't create the game, dude. She just gets a cut of the money. You think everyone in the dev team feels that way? Are we just supposed to not get a game set in a beloved universe because the person who owns the IP is a piece of shit?

At this stage it might even be too crazy to say that she's so rich that the money she's getting from this game is a drop in the bucket and has no practical negative impact on society. She will have the same influence with or without it, so might as well buy the game.

It’s kinda hard to separate the art from the artist when the art is actually full of racist and classiest themes, and the artist in question is actively being a huge bigot at every given opportunity.

My point was related to people that like the art, since there's much less incentive to buy the game if you don't like the world it's build from.
