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 wouldn't give Rowling money after the shit she has said and posted online. The game may be decent and unoffensive; but she receives royalties from purchases, so I ain't buying it. Although, before it came out and the devs were talking about the story, it hella sounded like you, being a wizard, are helping to put down a rebellion of some fantasy race that is essentially slave labor for the wizards and that also turned me off.
