Get ready for a bunch of people coming in to downvote you with their pearls clutched.

A lot of us genuinely believe the reaction to the stories, and, more recently, the game have gone way overboard. It's fine to make the personal choice to boycott something, but don't shame others for enjoying a fantasy story.

I realize, to most of the people I'm talking about, the viewpoints of others matter very little, anyway. But, just know, the rest of us feel the same about you.

It’s the fact that she uses the money she makes to donate and push anti trans legislation and talking points. Keeping her a household name is actively working against us.

To you it’s a fun story, to marginalized communities it’s her source of income to fuel attacks against us. So sure, you’re allowed to read and enjoy Harry Potter. Just don’t call yourself an ally. Ally requires cooperation and working towards a goal set by the community.

I don't care if i am considered an ally or not, really. Not anymore. Not since that started to entail my strict adherence to a code prescribed by people like yourself. I'll support in the ways that I feel comfortable, regardless of whether or not you or others want to call me an ally.

Do you use Twitter? Run by a known transphobe. Pretty much every cell phone company uses child labor. Get off your high horse. I’m sick of people being shamed for playing a video game or reading a book. There is no ethical consumption in todays capitalist society

How many people who work for Avalanche Studios are members of the LGBTQ+ community and directly benefit from Hogwarts Legacy being succesful?
