attacking the devs and it’s players was not warranted at all.
Nobody was attacked just for playing the game, people were only attacked for talking about or streaming the game. Word of mouth is the most effective form of marketing, and we only wanted to stop the word of mouth marketing. If you played the game and didn’t tell anyone, nobody attacked you.
Which is just as bad lol. Feel free to boycott people for streaming it or giving it publicity if you truly think it matters, but personally attacking them over giving a spinoff of an already extremely famous persons work that actively disagrees with the main reason everyone hates said person a slight bit of exposure is honestly unhinged.
You probably cause more harm by buying a single product on amazon than by buying and streaming hogwarts legacy.
It would be minus the part where the entire republican platform is unhinged far right shit so I’d judge people for that.
1 I and likely the vast majority of people have never seen stated anywhere because I prefer my sanity intact by not following everything some terf says (and I’d agree that is a better reason to not buy it, though I’d still say she’s almost a billionaire anyway so a lot of other things people do have just as bad of an impact), 2 is honestly just delusion on her part and kind of irrelevant, she would find different reasons to continue her bs.
Also to be clear saying “I think you streaming this game is morally wrong” to a creator you already watch/in other relevant contexts is of course completely fine, harrassment is not.

This is like voting for US Republicans like, “what, Trump already controls the country and this dude disagrees with him.”
Rowling has said that (1) she will spend all HP profits on hurting trans people and (2) she registers all HP support as support for her agenda.
