Hey there, I'm a mod of c/traa and was recently called out for saying JK Rowling is transphobic and buying the Hogwarts game is a bad idea. I was told that the 'actual trans people with sense' are here and agree that playing the Hogwarts game is fine, and so is giving money to a transphobe billionaire. This ally of trans rights (and instance admin of a large server that isnt blahaj or hexbear) of course seems to vehemently disagree.

So, as a question, do you agree with giving money in any way to JK Rowling? Do you agree with supporting Harry Potter as a franchise? 🤓 I have a feeling I already know the answer to this, but I figure yall might find this whole thing amusing

i don't play hogwarts legacy (mostly because i'm not interested in it and even if i was my computer can't run it - and because i'm mostly giving all my time to ff14)

BUT... i will say harry potter was a big part of my life and one of the only reasons why i'm not unalived. through pottercast and leaky (and ultimately starkid), i met some great people. so i still do love the stories - and i love the golden trio - and i do reread them from time to time but i don't really buy anything new.

also the fantastic beasts movies after fantastic beasts were rubbish. we just needed newtina going around the world saving magical items not a shoehorned dumbledore/grindlewald story (and it definitely didn't need depp)
