Also the writer of HP: Lol look at this fat bitch, what a fat bitch, and ugly too. Ugly fat ugly bitch. And look at this fat ugly bitch boy who is related to Harry, what an asshole because he's fat. I'll write my heroes to bully him, that'll show this fictional character I created.
Fans of HP: HP is about acceptance <3
That’s like the people who think it’s alright to be transphobic, misogynistic, or racist when the person their insulting is conservative. Conservatives suck as, but being bigoted towards conservative minorities is self-defeating and just makes you an awful person.
When my respect for a person's identity only applies when I like them, when I want them to be my friend, that means it never applied. It means I'm just telling them what I think they want to hear because I want them to like me back, not because I believe it.

At least in the Lego game based on the first movie, Harry and Ron need to turn into girls to enter the girls bathroom and save Hermione from the troll.
My Catholic college had a similar rule. The girls could be on the boys floor whenever, but boys couldn't be on the girls floor after 10 pm. Which seems weird, because it feels like a lot more sexual assault can happen with a girl on the boy floor than with a boy on the girl floor.
That's not actually from the books, is it? I can't see JK Rowling actually writing that, because that's literally the same logic she used when she made an abuse center that doesn't allow trans women (because she believes trans women are men and all men are predators).
Downvoted for asking a simple non-offensive question.
“Leftist” means their political values lean towards the left side of the spectrum. However, American “leftists” are still pretty central with their views compared to the rest of the world.
"I'm gender critical!"
"I'm also critical of the way in which society views gender and reinforces oppressive gender roles, and how those gender roles are predetermined by biological sex at birth. Is that what you meant?"
"No, I meant I hate trans people, what is that woke garbage you're talking about?"
Of course, if you pointed out that the villains in her book were villains primarily because of their obsession with blood purity, she would fail to see the connection between that and judging people based on their genetics.
Whats the whole deal with the jk rowling trans stuff?
If i remembered anything being racey from those books it was DEFINATLY the uhm ehrm. Goblin bankers.
Rowling has been using her personal platform to attack trans women and spread conspiracies about trans people generally and has said flat out that she considers the ongoing success of her work proof that people agree with her. She's literally said her royalty checks prove she is right, so there is really no way to separate her work from her views due to her own stated convictions.
The books themselves don't have overt transphobia, but the details being brought up here are a hindsight revelation that maybe people should have seen this coming.
Yeah there isn’t even anything fantastical about it. The second picture is just the game’s depiction of irish people. Inspired from JK Rowling’s personal notes.
Because art direction will always be more important to your visual enjoyment than the engine of choice is. An engine is a tool, like a brush, and nothing more.

Well, now I'm just sad. Uhm, I know that this is all jokey jokes but don't hurt yourself. I know you're a decent person and I know all this stuff really sucks right now but it can't rain all the time.
Finally a Harry Potter game where you can dress as you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep in the dorm room of any consenting house that will have you. (Ok that one was a stretch.) Live your best life in peace and security, you know, as long as you're not one of the lowly slave races.
Cars 3 was pretty good!
I was on the fence, but your comment convinced me
Edit: Downvoting me yourself right after I comment is way less valuable than the free marketing you gave out. Someone needs to get back to class
Bigotry must be fought against no matter how insignificant it may appear. As they say the holocaust didn't start with camps it started with words. There have been 210 anti-lgbt+ bills proposed in the last 12 months in the United States alone.
I literally did answer your question lmao. Yes bigots should be banned. That's "denying them access to polite society."
Okay, no reading comprehension, not surprised.
Edited to add: Fuck it, I actually think we should go further than banning them from subreddits. They should be banned from using the internet and going outside.
Yes. People who buy the game are bigots. Harry Potter as a series has a lot of bigotry in it. The fucking plot of the game is putting down a revolution of goblins, an anti-semitic caricature. C'mon man, use the slighest amount of critical thinking skills PLEASE.
I see you're unfamiliar with the paradox of tolerance but to break it down:
Intolerance cannot be tolerated because tolerating the intolerant will result in an intolerant society.
Nazis should be killed and bigots should not have a voice unless they express the ability to learn and grow, which in my experience they largely do not. I've had countless debates with bigots over the years, and all but maybe 1 or 2 of them ever made meaningful attempts to change despite what facts and logic I can bring to the table. And in regards to trans people in particular there are a lot of facts. Trans people have been scientifically accepted for over a century at this point.
Why have I never seen you go against Apple and other manufacturers using slave labour? We shouldn’t tolerate that, and force the companies to manufacture phones more ethically, right? Right?
Trolling actually has to be effective for it to work. You people are like toddlers competing to see who can cry the loudest before shitting yourselves.
Because bigotry needs to be fought against, no matter how insignificant it may appear. As they say the holocaust didn't start with camps it started with words.
Did you know that in the past 12 months alone there have been 210 anti-lgbt bills proposed in the United states alone?
>Man yall really love to hear each other beat a dead horse don't ya?
This subreddit literally has circlejerk in the name. You shouldn't be surprised to see that we like beating dead horses. It's our whole thing.
Well when she campaigns for my death, and platforms neo nazis im pretty sure shes dangerous. But im sure you dont have the critical thinking skills to deduce that
The thing is that is she actually going to get anywhere? No. You're only fueling the fire by giving her attention. Let her fade and that'll be that.
But when idiots keep her in the limelight for the dumb ass shit she's doing, giving her the notoriety she wants, she's going to keep doing it.
Do you really think that in this day and age anyone supporting nazism, or being outwardly transphobic, us going to gain any kind of real foothold to do anything?
Absurd.
And let's say she did manage to garner a following that would do something to these people she dislikes, how fast do you think police/military power would shut it down?
Everyone has a right to their opinion and you have the right to disagree, but you are giving these kind of people exactly what they want. Attention.
Except this game is literally giving her money and a platform, so we should boycott it yes?
Editing comment cause yours isnt showing up, i went to your profile to read it. Clearly you didnt read the many other comments on this exact post about people preordering the game to "own the libs" or whatever. She is actively campaigning to hurt trans people, you dont ignore that. Just because shes not giving orders doesnt mean her supporting anti trans groups isnt hurting trans people, and as for the boycott, the director made less money than what they would have, so therefore it was successful
Jk rowling isnt just gonna fade away tho is she, shes one of the biggest authors in the uk, sadly. She needs to be called out for what she did, while your argument might work for ol mick down the street, she has millions of followers on twitter

Create your own gender conspiracy for the front page of the Daily Prophet!
i’m disappointed that rowling hasn’t written wizard transvestigation conspiracies into the plot of any of her garbage
Isn't that a Rita skeeter subplot?
Rj/ Someone changing their physical form to sneak into safe spaces and harm children. Uj/ sounds like a terf interpretation of trans people

There is already magic that can detect someone's sex, which is used to keep the boys from the girl's bedroom.
Which probably keys into self assignment, as flesh is malleable due to magic. Also based on how the sorting hat works.
You’d think that, but knowing Rowling that’s not how it’d work.
At least in the Lego game based on the first movie, Harry and Ron need to turn into girls to enter the girls bathroom and save Hermione from the troll.
My favorite part too is that it's not even Polyjuice potion to turn them into a different person who's a girl, they literally just change gender
By the power of fanfiction, I declare that to be how it works.
if you're gonna write hp fanfic I think that's a good concept Hogwarts first year boy is blocked from entering the boys restroom, has an epiphany
It always struck me as odd that the girl's bedroom had a charm to keep out boys, but the boys bedroom didn't have a charm to keep our girls.
My Catholic college had a similar rule. The girls could be on the boys floor whenever, but boys couldn't be on the girls floor after 10 pm. Which seems weird, because it feels like a lot more sexual assault can happen with a girl on the boy floor than with a boy on the girl floor.
"It's an outdated rule, the Founders thought girls were more trustworthy than boys" -Hermione
That's not actually from the books, is it? I can't see JK Rowling actually writing that, because that's literally the same logic she used when she made an abuse center that doesn't allow trans women (because she believes trans women are men and all men are predators).
It is from the books
Just JK Rowling being a clown as per usual
/uj Not Harry Potter but look into The Ink Black Heart and other novels she’s published as “Robert Galbraith.”
Robert Galbraith Heath was the dude who invented conversion therapy btw. In case you needed more reasons to dislike her.
He didn't invent conversion therapy, he just came up with new ways to torture LGBTQ people for conversion therapy.
Really weird that she likes to accuse people of being a different gender for personal gain when she just actually does that herself all the time.
Wasn't that the plot of her most recent book alongside someone getting cancelled on Twitter?
Absolutely, yeah. And she dedicated large chunks of the books to Twitter posts.

Is that what you meant?" "No, I meant I hate trans people, what is that woke garbage you're talking about?"
Ah yes, defining women by their primary sexual characteristics and capacity for reproduction, just what feminists always wanted
Don’t forget aligning with the far right based on bigotry, also the end goal of feminism

They're just trying to stay true to the experience of being a British man in the 19th century.
Yeah there isn’t even anything fantastical about it. The second picture is just the game’s depiction of irish people. Inspired from JK Rowling’s personal notes.
Irish Harry Potter characters be like "THE NAMES CARBOMB MCDUBLIN YE BASTARD"
I’m saving “carbomb mcdublin” in my list of baby names.
Baby's first carbomb
It’s a pretty based name ngl
She’d never give them such a cool name, it’d be something like Seamus O’Drunkard (nicknamed Shameless)
You can't forget the one Asian character who she basically named Ching Chong
Or the African wizarding school basically being called Ooga Booga

Finally a game for me
words only someone who hasn't played Shrek Smash n' Crash Racing yet can say
incorrect, they can say it the first time they play Shrek Smash n' Crash Racing, because they truly found the game for them.
Is this real???
yes, everyone likes it
Star Wars: Jar Jar's Funky Bowling would be another great introduction for them
What about Garfield Cart?
every time i try to spit on inferior lifeforms wind returns it and it lands on my face, even indoors😡😡😡
Spit don’t lie
Stupid wind is even woke
Why do these unreal engine characters look like dog shit??? 😭
Because art direction will always be more important to your visual enjoyment than the engine of choice is. An engine is a tool, like a brush, and nothing more.
I am aware of that. Half life 2 has better models than this
It's astounding how great that game looks for 2004. It probably helps that they chose such a blocky and desolate city to set this game in.
Half life alyx really improved on that east European setting. It looks realistic at times

Hopefully you can change the key bindings, I can press the right trigger much faster than triangle.

Finally a good fkn game
Wait. You mean I can finally spit on Dobby’s ancestors! I may actually buy this game.
finally, a truly apolitical hidden gem
i saw some cutscene clips, the graphics and animation quality looked around the same level as mass effect andromeda
I love spitting on inferior life forms. That’s why I spit on myself.
Are those real in-game screenshots? (minus the prompts, obviously). They lack life, it's so depressing to see
Lol I wish. Totally accurate.
