I dunno, I reckon the best part about hogwarts legacy is that it seems like a fun passion project that lets people live out their childhood fantasy of being a student at hogwarts

For whatever reason JK Rowling has become THE icon of attention, despite being a has-been writer with zero political clout at the functional level. Whenever right wing types talk about 'purity testing' or 'performative wokeness' they're going to bring up all this attention surrounding Hogwarts Legacy. There's way too much drama over a single video game that is only tangentially related to JK Rowling.

JK Rowling is the defacto leader of the gender critical movement. She's not "someone with no clout on Twitter" she's more like Alex Jones except non completely insane people are listening to her.

Yeah this one I'm not gonna let stand.

Do you think rich people have no political clout "at the functional level" because they don't have an R, D, or MP next to their name? Do I have to go back and underline "rich"?

She isn't the head of a large company, just one person with money. The most she can do is donate money to some political organization and hope they get something done. So she'd have the 'clout' of a Trump donor or something similar.

That is absolutely not "the most" she can do. She has like 14 million Twitter followers.

The best part of the game(that Rowling herself has basically nothing to do with besides using her created fictional world) is the louder the protests get, the more people buy the game, and neither side is willing to give in so it's an interesting battle of attrition.

I think the Twitter campaign has been pretty successful at spreading knowledge of JKRs bullshit which is more important than the boycott.

I say you pass for playing the game as you are able to separate the art from the artist, just as I was able to when I got around to watching Chinatown and The Pianist despite wanting Roman Polanski to get a bullet to the brain for what he did.

the minority is extremely loud however and may give the impression they're the majority because of that

Separating the art from the artist isn't acceptable when the artist is using the success of her art to argue against a vulnerable minority.

Nope. Transgender issues are going to be THE premier political controversy come next year. Shit like Hogwarts legacy is just setting the stage.

The vast majority of opinionated politically active people DO care. It's the moderates that don't.

I'd argue it'd be harder to separate it when the artist is a literal tried and convicted child rapist whose ass would be extradited from foreign countries and thrown in prison the nanosecond he lands nearly anywhere outside of France, Switzerland, and Poland, but you do you I guess.

She has people like Mindy Khaling and Ricky Gervais retweeting and defending her transphobic stances. I wouldnt say she has no clout

wait, the game that added more inclusion to the IP and is probably has the most inclusive settings of any game ever is setting the stage for some political controversy?

I think youre fighting a losing battle here cause the game did everything right that it can. You being unable to separate JK from the IP is the biggest problem here tbh.

This. At the end of the day people who purchase games just care about one thing, is the game going to be fun? Is the game going to deliver what it sets out to do? Yes? There's a chance it's going to sell well. No? There's a good chance it might flop.

I think the issue with these boycotts and why they don't work is because you're suppose to be trying to convince those who are either on the fence or those who have the intention to buying the game ... to not buy it. It's probably easy to convince those on the fence to boycott, but it's not so easy to convince those who are in the second group. That's where the boycott fails, especially doing something as making a website attempting to lynch those who play the game on stream. Something like that is counter intuitive to the cause. I already saw this boycott as a losing battle the moment it was announced that this game's pre-order was some of the biggest on Xbox and Steam (don't know how well it did on the Sony charts though). So the only saving grace was if the game was super bad, mediocre, game breaking bugs and glitches so people would refund the game for being unplayable like what happened to Cyberpunk 2077.

Unfotunately, reality took a different turn and now I only expect this game to continue selling more copies. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches 10 million units sold by the end of this month. The silver lining is, at least JK Rowling had basically no involvement with this game, other than being one of the IP holders, and not only did the devs added in a trans character you can talk and interact with but you can also customize your character to be trans as well. I'm also seeing streamers, especially those LGBTQA+, are doing charity streams for trans organizations while playing the game.

Ehhh yes and no. People tend to be politically opinionated about one or two things really intensely, but don't have any strong opinions otherwise.

The problem is we have a two-party political system where there's really only ever one side that even remotely represents the thing(s) you care about, so we've got no choice but to sort people into a box.
