You don't buy Hogwarts Legacy but you get a stiffy over tesla, use Amazon, use apple products, and vote republican.

Literally supporting people who are a thousand times worse than Rowling

There is No Ethical Consumption under Capitalism. But still, this is a videogame, very easy to pass on, especially if you have outgrown Harry Potter like any adult ought to do.

The argument is that Hogwarts Legacy is an unnecessary purchase (i.e. not needed to participate in society) that will send some money towards an awful person. There are many unnecessary purchases that will give money to awful people that people don't morally grandstand over? How can attempt to guilt others when they are hypocrites themselves.

There's nothing wrong with personal boycotts. I have some myself, but no one should feel like they are the "good" person because they boycott something that someone else doesn't.

Almost every purchase is unethical. That's the problem with our broken world.

Falling into bullshit "It's for kids! It's stupid and nerdy!" arguments doesn't become cool if you hate a person tangentially related to the purchase.

It's like shitting on bald people because Andrew Tate is bald.

Are people supposed to outgrow pokemon too? What about Mario? Sonic? Are we only allowed to play games like God of War? Hell, what about video games in general? Aren't they "just for kids?"

That is the point of the meme, yes.

It's no that "it's for kids", it's that the story and worldbuilding make literally no sense once you start examining it even a little.

I understand the meme. It's an amazing meme when the context is right. It's not. Inclusion like a trans option in a video game help representation

Yes, and bringing it up when someone says that you are a bad person for buying a Tesla/Amazon/Apple product is *exactly* that scenario.

Hence why I used it.

I'm calling people hypocrites for not buying the game because JK is a bad person, but supporting other companies that are run by bad people.

Correct. And I'm making fun of the fact that you are acting like society has some sort of magical capitalism that has ethical consumption at all stages of the line.

Yes. Video games offer us temporary escape from the capitalist nightmare from which we toil in. But we dont need Pigpimple Legacy, thats the exception.
