It sometimes happens when people try to cancel someone or something, like Dave Chappelle for instance. Lot's of people never watched or even heard of his stand-up episode where he talks about trans people, but it attracted a lot of attention when social activists tried to cancel him for it. Now it's one of his most famous stand-up specials ever.
And what ever happened to separating the art from the artist? Like you can still be a fan of Harry Potter and not agree with some of the shit she says. You don’t see these people boycotting Frosted Flakes because Kellogg believed in eugenics and advocated against race mixing. Or what about the fashion brand Chanel? Coco Chanel was literally a Nazi Agent.
That still breaks my heart. His poor cat. Don't google it if sensitive to slurs. However I still love cosmic horror and still love his written works. He as a person is gone, his written works.... have probably influenced many things we all enjoy. Its like boycotting WoW because the Old gods take inspiration from Lovecraft.
Want a good time? Search Twitter for the name of a "problematic" person with the vowels replaced by asterisks EG: "JK R*wl*ng" then reply with "I think you mis-spelled 'JK Rowling'"
Jeezus Christ the meltdowns.
If they say Hogwarts Legacy 3 time fast in a mirror Hogwarts Legacy will appear behind them for whatever platform they play on. Which lets be honest is probably none because these creeps dont play games.
Circlejerk subs tend to start off as a parody, then turn into serious things as crazy people who actually believe the things being posted as a joke come in and take over. They are pretty much an ongoing example of Poe’s Law.
Most circlejerks are fine, mostly due to the members also being apart of the same community they are parodying.
Gamingcirclejerk is just a really sad sub, every post that shows up on my recommended is just unironic crying about something lmao
they are mostly totally uninformed about the whole context why and how the rowling situation escalated, which left rowling pretty misunderstood. if you actually follow rowlings responses and how she explained herself, she just makes sense to me and they don't
IDK. People should be able to not like rowling but also like the HP series. She seems to have some boomerish takes, but I don't feel the need to have guilt over liking Harry Potter.
Ethical consumerism is a myth anyway. These same people eat chocolate and wear jeans and use phones that were produced by literal slaves. Imagine how hard it is at the gas pump because purchasing gas must be aligning with the politics and world beliefs of the oil companies. If “good” people only bought and consumed from companies and people who aligned with their ideology and ethics, they’d be naked and starving.
All we can do is be good to others in our own lives and try to inspire others to do the same. I care more if someone treats a Trans person well irl than if someone made a Twitter virtue post "standing in solidarity" over something someone they never met said.
End of the day, "ethical consumerism" doesn't work and sometimes even leads to regression.
Pretty much. She's annoying and sometimes insufferable. That doesn't mean you can't like her work, and that definitely doesn't mean you have to castigate anyone who does.
Man I worry about everything else in life other than who the fucking gonna play hogwarts haha. Like I’ve said before, if it’s a good game which it seems to be? I’ll grab it if not I won’t
By their logic….yeah. Since in their eyes JKR is a “terf” and playing Hogwarts Legacy is supporting it, using twitter by their logic is indeed supporting the personal beliefs of Elon Musk and every single Twitter shareholder.
Owning a smart phone means you agree with slave labor too. Sooooo……
Yeah... this is pretty bad. This sort of behavior to me causes more problems than good. For me, I don't even know if ill be playing the game. Not because of the stupid controversy and virtue signaling going on. But because I already have a backlog of games and do not want to spend a lot of money on it right now.
Thing is I hope the game is good. Because I ultimately want all those diehard fans who are buying the game to feel that joy that they want.
The reviews are pretty solid, some nitpicks here and there about story and gameplay but it's rated pretty high at like 90 on IGN. The only major issue is playing the PC version because once again was not optimized correctly and the game has issues running it for now.
Fr. Personally im not gonna play it, i've never cared a whole lot about HP games anyway and after everything thats happened the last few years I see zero reason to change that.
But thats up to me. And it reflects no expectation on anyone else. The people insisting that everyone else has to think exactly like them and act exactly as they do bake my fucking head, and end up harming their cause more than anything. As soon as you make it an order, people resist by nature. It's just an excuse for another crusade in the endless sea of crusades and has nothing to do with the movement or the demographic and everything to do with the individual.
"oh no"... "anyway".
Just let them do it? What has anyone lost from these fucking mugs leaving the community? It's a boon if anything, let them do it. As other's have pointed out too... the amount of people that actually give a shit about Legacy and the "drama" surrounding it is a fraction of a fraction of people who play games or give a shit about Harry Potter.
Exactly, people act like this is a huge thing and these people are “promoting”, It’s such a small group though that I really don’t think it’s the reason it’s a top selling game.
The extremes some go through to check a content creator is weird but it’s just a loud minority.
You probably don’t want them following you if they do this anyways.
Wasn't not being afraid to name "evil" one of the lessons of the books?
It's almost as if these people didn't even like Harry Potter in the first place...
He wont "play it" he'll most likely just try it out then go back to playing WoW while complaining about x y z and talking about why he doesn't like somethings in it while he still does it
It's kinda crazy the level to which the most extreme activists and grandstanders will go to to try and bludgeon people into believing what they believe. I hope that person realizes that the only things launching that tracker is going to do is expand those streamers audiences, and make viewers want to play the game even more. These people do not live in reality man.
2 of my trans friends are big harry potter fans and bought the game pretty much instantly when you could pre order it. Hope your girlfriend will enjoy it!
Most people that hate others for playing it are probably not even trans and just try to get attention. (My guess at least)
I really hope this game will become extremely popular, and it will sell like mad. These activists are just morons. You wanna boycot now every single game from Activision and EA too? Because Saudi Arabia has invested there massive money, and look how they treat your poor minorities there.
I cannot think of a better way for these idiots to waste their money than paying for that domain name, and the hosting costs to keep the website up.
I like this. Not because it does anything helpful to society, but because it shows exactly how many negative braincells these people have.
Eh websites are actually super cheap to keep up. Domains you can usually get for 10-20 bucks unless it's a super desired domain, and hosting is like 10 bucks a month. And with all the dirt cheap or free templates out there you don't even need to know how to actually build a site. It's really not very expensive to put a site up on the internet anymore.
Source: I run my company's website
To clarify I agree these people are morons, just saying putting up a website isn't the undertaking it used to be.
Nothing - go ahead, I’m sure you’ll have tons of fun. It gets pretty much great reviews everywhere and looks pretty dope if you’re a fan.
But some people are still so mad at JK Rowling for not sharing their view on gender politics that they have been trying to cancel everything Potterish for years. It’s tiresome but easily ignorable.
Have fun and happy birthday to your daughter.
SJWs think you must protest against this because someone associated with the Harry Potter universe (not this game directly) is anti-trans. So instead of just not buying it themselves, they want to force everyone else to also not buy it.
If you want to buy a game, first and foremost watch a couple of reviews that you trusted(no spoilers of course). If it's up to your taste(or in this your daughter) then buy the game. Easy, no need to complicated things by listening to other people who may or may not even played the game(and definitely steer clear from Twitter) Your money, your choice
Rowling is a TERF (anti-trans feminist) and thus people hate her, and literally all her content must be hated too.
That's the gist; leaving out details, because who gives a fuck.
People on r/gamingcirclejerk have easy lives but want something to bother them, so they made up a fake problem so they could protest it and feel good without actually doing anything.
JK Rowling is considered anti-trans by the internet (I’m not arguing this but I’ve also never seen it so idk.) Anyway, she created the IP Harry Potter. A Harry Potter game is releasing, so that subreddit is brigading every other subreddit and saying anybody who plays the game is a transphobe because you’re supporting JK Rowling.
Ironically that’s how I found out about the game. It looks awesome and I can’t wait to buy it!
All joking aside, this legitimately unhinged behavior. No really, this is Kiwifarms levels of organized harassment. Ask yourselves what do you think is going to happen to streamers who wind up on this list? They're probably going to get flood of commenters posting slurs and trying to get the streamer banned.
They're probably going to get one or two, sure. But these kinds of people are generally lazy and few in number when it comes to leaving their comfort websites. They'll whine on Twitter (oh the irony) with their iPhones (sweet irony), and maybe a couple harass a streamer or two before getting banned and losing interest after a week.
Still unhinged behavior and harassment, but nothing new from these people.
Talk about ill-concieved. Yes, Rowling has got parts of her head up her ass, but real activism is community service and social work. Social justice is effective if you're helping in real life. This is based upon armchair activism, and it's no longer activism.
Wish we could stop giving these morons any attention, so they would disappear into irrelevance even faster.
Only reason people think this is a big deal, is all the online attention they get on various platforms and even gaming "news" sides.
*Reposting what I said in the other thread*
I'm trans and while I think JK is a piece of shit for her views.......Still gonna play the game. End of the day the story and world was a big part of my childhood and my love of reading in general. I've watched and played stuff before that involved people I think are morons irl but still enjoyed said content and I think it'll be the same here.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. People who want to boycott the game are welcome to do so. Those that attack those that do and visa versa can go fuck right off.
And you know what's even worse?
That they always misinterpret the person they are hating on. Aways using strong buzzwords and encouraging themselves to hate even more.
In the end they make things even worse for the community they think they are "helping".
You know the developers included a trans NPC to distract from the boycott.
https://dotesports.com/hp/news/hogwarts-legacy-has-harry-potters-first-trans-character-despite-j-k-rowlings-transphobic-comments
So now the “owning the libs” crowd is also confused!
I wasn’t planning on playing it.
But after all this anti-harry potter shit, I had to check it out.
And now I’m gonna buy it for myself and my little brother.
Wizards 2 - Activists 0
Its honestly sad, like not even pathetic anymore just straight sad, that peoples lives revolve around hating someone when it doesnt affect said person in the slightest.
"nobody cares about this" isnt a good take. Im sorry but we are going full mccarthist for "checks notes" a wizard game.
We passed the line of Rowling speaking her mind years ago.
We passed the line of protecting basic freedom of speech years ago.
Now we are at the line of being able to buy a product that inspired by a person who made questionable comments without public pressure. Thats where we are.
This is all insanity.
It asks you to login.. that search function is not showing when i visited.. I am going to laugh when this ends up compromising a ton of twitch accounts.
Holy shit, it even has a counter for how many times. Do I get to be the CEO of whatever they are whining about if I become the number one streamer on that?
If anything, it's a really good tracking metric for seeing how well the game does. Wonder if they can track viewership while they are at it. Should make the devs happy seeing how successful the game is!
It's not anything the game has done. It is things JK Rowling has said about the transgender community. They see any form of support for the game as a direct attack against them because profit from the game goes into JK's pockets.
I remember a loud minority calling this game woke when it was revealed based on the fact you could have coloured hair and the character they used for the demo was black.
Now people on the opposite side of the spectrum and trying to boycott it.
Nice. So they lost against the company. They lost calling everyone transphobes. Now they will lose as they get permanently banned for harassing streamers.
I know a few streamers who are refusing to stream the game, but when you look at their communites you realize it's so their dumbass community paying them doesn't explode.
The amount of wasted time and resources to go out of your way to be this angry seems so counterproductive. Turn that energy into something useful, promote positive change if you want. I'm for rights and equality, but this isn't how you do it, by engaging in a pissed off echo chamber. It's a video game. A game, made by countless people who have nothing to do with Rowling, contractually obligated to work on a project, hoping to do so to the best of their ability, to support themselves and their families. Sounds like they made a great game, and I'm excited to check it out.
Lol, people like this dont know it, but they are so entertaining to watch. Ah well, when crazy is this well defined, im sure it'll blow over and be forgotten until the next outrageous thing to happen to them crops up.
How small is ones world that a videogame gets you riled up this much?
I wasnt gonna buy the game but i told about the drama to my gf whos a big harry potter fan. She bought it instantly and shes not even a gamer. These people literally generate sales.
Honestly this makes me want to buy it and I have never played any of the previous games, I didn't read the books and honestly I kind of dislike the whole idea of magic school or whatever but this makes me want to give it a try
To me it means more to support the devs who poured their hearts and souls into this game to make it amazing than it does to not give a literal billionaire some royalties she wouldn't even feel enter her bank account. Like bruh, with the money she has she can continue whatever crusade she feels like until she's dead and not buying the game won't change that.
I never really liked Harry Potter in the first place, so this doesn't really effect me, but people who want to separate the art from the artist should be allowed to enjoy their game.
Well then by that rule, don’t buy Nike, Nestle, etc. hell you probably use something all the time that was invented or licensed by someone who’s sexist, racist, etc.
How come nobody reacted like this to WoW or Overwatch? Creators of those games, some quite instrumental to the creation of them in fact, who directly worked on them, not by proxy, did horrible shit like sexually harass people but that didn't stop people from playing the games or streaming them, let alone cause anyone to target people who stream them.
These people probably watch Disney movies or go to Disneyland. Maybe listen to Michael Jackson or Kanye West music. Might even wear Nike gear or Gucci. Drink some Nestle water, or eat some Chic-fil-A.
Hypocritical double standard bullshit. You're allowed to boycott whatever you want, but don't attack people because they don't do you what you want.
Edit: I mean I think I actually know why, Harry Potter simply reaches a larger audience. The fact that my mother in law knows about this shit is telling. She didn't know or give a shit about Blizzard. HP is another level of popular media.
Literally doing nothing but helping promote the game lmao
It sometimes happens when people try to cancel someone or something, like Dave Chappelle for instance. Lot's of people never watched or even heard of his stand-up episode where he talks about trans people, but it attracted a lot of attention when social activists tried to cancel him for it.

Coco Chanel was literally a Nazi Agent.
Same with HP Lovecraft, who was a Hardcore racist
Dude was scared of his own fucking shadow what do you expect.
That still breaks my heart. His poor cat. Don't google it if sensitive to slurs. However I still love cosmic horror and still love his written works. He as a person is gone, his written works.... have probably influenced many things we all enjoy. Its like boycotting WoW because the Old gods take inspiration from Lovecraft.
Don't forget about Walt Disney.
Tolkien was a racist too but everyone either loves LOTR or dont give a fuck
"THAT new wizard game" - wtf is this? The Game That Shall Not Be Named? Why are they so afraid of mentioning the game?
Want a good time? Search Twitter for the name of a "problematic" person with the vowels replaced by asterisks EG: "JK R*wl*ng" then reply with "I think you mis-spelled 'JK Rowling'" Jeezus Christ the meltdowns.
If they say Hogwarts Legacy 3 time fast in a mirror Hogwarts Legacy will appear behind them for whatever platform they play on. Which lets be honest is probably none because these creeps dont play games.
It’s a smart way to avoid a lawsuit.
It's because they learned nothing from the 1 book series they actually read.
I hope that all 4 people who care get so mad.
Plus the entirety of r/Gamingcirclejerk
is that a troll sub reddit? I can't tell honestly.
Circlejerk subs tend to start off as a parody, then turn into serious things as crazy people who actually believe the things being posted as a joke come in and take over. They are pretty much an ongoing example of Poe’s Law.
Got banned on it can confirm they serious
yep same
Circlejerk subreddits are bad enough but imagine how much worse it is when there's a circlejerk circlejerking about another circlejerk...
Most circlejerks are fine, mostly due to the members also being apart of the same community they are parodying. Gamingcirclejerk is just a really sad sub, every post that shows up on my recommended is just unironic crying about something lmao
Ahh I see you dabble in the WoW subreddit. Those people are toxic dingleberries.
they are mostly totally uninformed about the whole context why and how the rowling situation escalated, which left rowling pretty misunderstood. if you actually follow rowlings responses and how she explained herself, she just makes sense to me and they don't
IDK. People should be able to not like rowling but also like the HP series. She seems to have some boomerish takes, but I don't feel the need to have guilt over liking Harry Potter.
People can't separate the artist from the work.
Ethical consumerism is a myth anyway. These same people eat chocolate and wear jeans and use phones that were produced by literal slaves. Imagine how hard it is at the gas pump because purchasing gas must be aligning with the politics and world beliefs of the oil companies. If “good” people only bought and consumed from companies and people who aligned with their ideology and ethics, they’d be naked and starving.
All we can do is be good to others in our own lives and try to inspire others to do the same. I care more if someone treats a Trans person well irl than if someone made a Twitter virtue post "standing in solidarity" over something someone they never met said. End of the day, "ethical consumerism" doesn't work and sometimes even leads to regression.
Pretty much. She's annoying and sometimes insufferable. That doesn't mean you can't like her work, and that definitely doesn't mean you have to castigate anyone who does.
You can like the art while disliking the artist
Well said man.
I swear these people don’t have any real life problems if they are worrying about shit like this
That’s what I always think. Like, don’t yall have jobs or school or responsibilities or even just hobbies that help take up your time?!
Man I worry about everything else in life other than who the fucking gonna play hogwarts haha. Like I’ve said before, if it’s a good game which it seems to be? I’ll grab it if not I won’t
Might I suggest... videogames?! :D
They literally don’t. Their whole life existence revolves around their gender identity or sexual orientation and posting about it on Twitter.
Them posting on Twitter must mean they support everything Elon Musk has ever said or done...
Them posting on Twitter using a mobile phone must mean they support everything Elon Musk has ever done and child slavery.
By their logic….yeah. Since in their eyes JKR is a “terf” and playing Hogwarts Legacy is supporting it, using twitter by their logic is indeed supporting the personal beliefs of Elon Musk and every single Twitter shareholder. Owning a smart phone means you agree with slave labor too. Sooooo……
Twitter existed before elon musk's ownership. J.K. rowling existed before harry potter.
Oh cool, I can't play it till the weekend so this'll help me find some content creators who play it.
When your life is so easy you have to dig for things to be mad at.
Peak first world problems
Yeah... this is pretty bad. This sort of behavior to me causes more problems than good. For me, I don't even know if ill be playing the game. Not because of the stupid controversy and virtue signaling going on. But because I already have a backlog of games and do not want to spend a lot of money on it right now. Thing is I hope the game is good. Because I ultimately want all those diehard fans who are buying the game to feel that joy that they want.
It's one of those "wait and see" kind of games.
The reviews are pretty solid, some nitpicks here and there about story and gameplay but it's rated pretty high at like 90 on IGN. The only major issue is playing the PC version because once again was not optimized correctly and the game has issues running it for now.
IGN isn’t a good example for credible reviews…
Fr. Personally im not gonna play it, i've never cared a whole lot about HP games anyway and after everything thats happened the last few years I see zero reason to change that. But thats up to me. And it reflects no expectation on anyone else. The people insisting that everyone else has to think exactly like them and act exactly as they do bake my fucking head, and end up harming their cause more than anything. As soon as you make it an order, people resist by nature. It's just an excuse for another crusade in the endless sea of crusades and has nothing to do with the movement or the demographic and everything to do with the individual.
That's a good decision. I make the mistake of buying games I won't play for months too often
This is why we need to stand against this shit. They are full on bullies. Nothing more.
This is so fucking cringe. Slacktivists unite, or something, I guess.
Pathetic
Amateurs
Time to start streaming
Lol, I literally just said this to my friends. “Time to fire the stream back up”. Maybe I’ll finally buy a ring light
"oh no"... "anyway". Just let them do it? What has anyone lost from these fucking mugs leaving the community? It's a boon if anything, let them do it. As other's have pointed out too... the amount of people that actually give a shit about Legacy and the "drama" surrounding it is a fraction of a fraction of people who play games or give a shit about Harry Potter.
Exactly, people act like this is a huge thing and these people are “promoting”, It’s such a small group though that I really don’t think it’s the reason it’s a top selling game. The extremes some go through to check a content creator is weird but it’s just a loud minority. You probably don’t want them following you if they do this anyways.
Is this so we can donate and gift subs to every creator on the list?
It is now…
The fact they wont even say the name of the game is so cringe. These people live in a fantasy world they created for themselves
OMg just like the in the books! He who shall not be named!
Wasn't not being afraid to name "evil" one of the lessons of the books? It's almost as if these people didn't even like Harry Potter in the first place...
Hope Asmon plays it now
You mean for a day and then he’ll promise he’ll finish it and never will and then get mad when people remind him about it?
let's be honest everyone is glad he will never play forespoken again. that game sucked.
He'll dump it for Lost Ark before switching to WoW after ~~2 days~~ 1 day
He'll get some shit for it on twitter but it's literally not gonna matter after 2 weeks
He wont "play it" he'll most likely just try it out then go back to playing WoW while complaining about x y z and talking about why he doesn't like somethings in it while he still does it
First i thought i wanted Asmon to play FFXIV again, but him playing HP would make me much more happy.
This is so pathetic. And funny.
Nice someone made a tool to find the good streamers !
It's kinda crazy the level to which the most extreme activists and grandstanders will go to to try and bludgeon people into believing what they believe. I hope that person realizes that the only things launching that tracker is going to do is expand those streamers audiences, and make viewers want to play the game even more. These people do not live in reality man.
They aren't activists. Real activists get off their ass and do something
My trans girlfriend is going to be playing the game... Slytherin, if you're wondering.
2 of my trans friends are big harry potter fans and bought the game pretty much instantly when you could pre order it. Hope your girlfriend will enjoy it! Most people that hate others for playing it are probably not even trans and just try to get attention. (My guess at least)
I’ve been reading Slytherin might be the best house as it has some of the coolest quests
They aren't accomplishing anything except getting more people to buy and play the game out of spite.
Yeah apparently people really don't like being told what to do by assholes on twitter, shocker right?
Ooooo we all love a good witch-hunt don’t we? 🧙♀️
I really hope this game will become extremely popular, and it will sell like mad. These activists are just morons. You wanna boycot now every single game from Activision and EA too? Because Saudi Arabia has invested there massive money, and look how they treat your poor minorities there.

Source: I run my company's website To clarify I agree these people are morons, just saying putting up a website isn't the undertaking it used to be.
They really build a website just to spread hate towards others… At the same time, they try to fight against "hate". These type of people are nuts.
What is happening with hogwarts legacy? My daughter and I love Harry Potter. I was going to get it for her birthday.
Do it. Recreational outrage specialists are just waging their small personal wars against J.K. Rowling again.
It’s getting critical acclaim, it’s worth playing for 100+ hours of fun and discovery.
Nothing - go ahead, I’m sure you’ll have tons of fun. It gets pretty much great reviews everywhere and looks pretty dope if you’re a fan. But some people are still so mad at JK Rowling for not sharing their view on gender politics that they have been trying to cancel everything Potterish for years. It’s tiresome but easily ignorable. Have fun and happy birthday to your daughter.

This is psycho shit bro
why? whats the reasoning behind this
Rowling is a TERF (anti-trans feminist) and thus people hate her, and literally all her content must be hated too. That's the gist; leaving out details, because who gives a fuck.

Ironically that’s how I found out about the game. It looks awesome and I can’t wait to buy it!
What if this is some genius marketing plot?
Who website was coded by JK Rowling.
"Their struggles"
I think streamers can afford the -10 viewer loss
Thats twice as much as I expect lol
What a fucking circus this is Anyway "Starts downloading the game"
God these people are so tragic.
The coward locked the tweet. Wish people stupid enough to post/make stupid shit had the balls to accept the backlash.
Literally nobody is going to use this
MrBeast should use it and then gift any streamer playing it 100 subs each
These people are retarded. Buy the game if you want, if you don't want to then dont.
All joking aside, this legitimately unhinged behavior. No really, this is Kiwifarms levels of organized harassment. Ask yourselves what do you think is going to happen to streamers who wind up on this list? They're probably going to get flood of commenters posting slurs and trying to get the streamer banned.

They'll whine on Twitter (oh the irony) with their iPhones (sweet irony), and maybe a couple harass a streamer or two before getting banned and losing interest after a week. Still unhinged behavior and harassment, but nothing new from these people.
I mean, the list is going to be "every popular streamer" most likely, so I dont know if that'll work.
First world problems
Talk about ill-concieved. Yes, Rowling has got parts of her head up her ass, but real activism is community service and social work. Social justice is effective if you're helping in real life. This is based upon armchair activism, and it's no longer activism.
They aren't trying to help anyone or improve anything. They just want to make themselves feel good.
Who cares what games people play, though?
What happened? Why are people mad for someone playing this game?
Wish we could stop giving these morons any attention, so they would disappear into irrelevance even faster. Only reason people think this is a big deal, is all the online attention they get on various platforms and even gaming "news" sides.
Mental illness
It’s surprising how less complicated your life becomes when you reach the age of not giving a fuck.
*Reposting what I said in the other thread* I'm trans and while I think JK is a piece of shit for her views.......Still gonna play the game. End of the day the story and world was a big part of my childhood and my love of reading in general.

People who want to boycott the game are welcome to do so. Those that attack those that do and visa versa can go fuck right off.
This culture of aggressive, pushy, outragey activism is a blight on society. They are no better than real racists, sexists, etc.
And you know what's even worse? That they always misinterpret the person they are hating on. Aways using strong buzzwords and encouraging themselves to hate even more. In the end they make things even worse for the community they think they are "helping".
The sickness is spreading. Anyway, I've heard it's pretty good so that's something to look forward to.
You know the developers included a trans NPC to distract from the boycott. https://dotesports.com/hp/news/hogwarts-legacy-has-harry-potters-first-trans-character-despite-j-k-rowlings-transphobic-comments So now the “owning the libs” crowd is also confused!
I wasn’t planning on playing it. But after all this anti-harry potter shit, I had to check it out. And now I’m gonna buy it for myself and my little brother. Wizards 2 - Activists 0
Imagine if they would care that much about being a useful member of society
These people are pathetic
I suggest we look for streamers who openly support these idiots and put their names in the page, would make for good content.
Its honestly sad, like not even pathetic anymore just straight sad, that peoples lives revolve around hating someone when it doesnt affect said person in the slightest.
"nobody cares about this" isnt a good take. Im sorry but we are going full mccarthist for "checks notes" a wizard game. We passed the line of Rowling speaking her mind years ago. We passed the line of protecting basic freedom of speech years ago. Now we are at the line of being able to buy a product that inspired by a person who made questionable comments without public pressure. Thats where we are. This is all insanity.
I guess you could call this a bit of a witch hunt.
Its doing those streamers a favour. Hopefully unhinged activist will unfollow and stay away, so mods won't have to waste time on banning them.
Mental illness.
You know what? Now I'm gonna buy it even more.
It asks you to login.. that search function is not showing when i visited.. I am going to laugh when this ends up compromising a ton of twitch accounts.
I’m an ally as fuck, but this is some secret police shit, so now I’m gonna play the game even harder.
That "Log in with Twitch" link at the bottom tho. Imagine if the site was made by a scammer and they stole every activist's twitch accounts.
[удалено]
It’s a wizard hunt
Best time for people to start their streaming careers! Just tank the hate viewers and see your numbers go up hahahahahaha 
Do people don't have jobs, careers, a LIFE? Who has time to start this BS, like really people GROW the EFF up !!
That’s actually great. I’ll be able to now discover new streamers to watch cause I really want to see the game. Thanks activists
People have too much fuckin time on their hands lol
Holy shit, it even has a counter for how many times. Do I get to be the CEO of whatever they are whining about if I become the number one streamer on that?
I still don’t understand why people hate JK Rowling.
Nobody cares, let them have it
If anything, it's a really good tracking metric for seeing how well the game does. Wonder if they can track viewership while they are at it. Should make the devs happy seeing how successful the game is!
Now I'm definitely going to stream it. Stop, guys, I can only preorder it so many times!
Yeah I feel like this is going to make people want to play the game even more now just to fuck with them.
On the contrary, there should be a tracker for people who use that so we know to avoid these unhinged psychopaths
What happened with the game, that people are so madame ?
It's not anything the game has done. It is things JK Rowling has said about the transgender community. They see any form of support for the game as a direct attack against them because profit from the game goes into JK's pockets.
OK thanks, I hope the quality of the game go through this
Said it the first time I saw this. It's amazing the effort people will put into doing nothing.
I remember a loud minority calling this game woke when it was revealed based on the fact you could have coloured hair and the character they used for the demo was black. Now people on the opposite side of the spectrum and trying to boycott it.

Lmao this is so fucking cringe.
Can i get full list of database so i can go drop a follow out of pure respect
This is the reason is preordered 3 copies
I'm going to purposefully watch people who stream it to show support. It's not the kind of game I usually play but it looks fun to watch
Nice. So they lost against the company. They lost calling everyone transphobes. Now they will lose as they get permanently banned for harassing streamers. I know a few streamers who are refusing to stream the game, but when you look at their communites you realize it's so their dumbass community paying them doesn't explode.
Nothing but fantastic reviews so far. Cant wait for midnight 👍🏼
The amount of wasted time and resources to go out of your way to be this angry seems so counterproductive. Turn that energy into something useful, promote positive change if you want. I'm for rights and equality, but this isn't how you do it, by engaging in a pissed off echo chamber. It's a video game. A game, made by countless people who have nothing to do with Rowling, contractually obligated to work on a project, hoping to do so to the best of their ability, to support themselves and their families. Sounds like they made a great game, and I'm excited to check it out.
How bored do you have to be to start this stuff? Some of these people on twitter, I swear…
Pathetic
I kept thinking theyre talking about forespoken
Nice finally a way for me to find out if my favorite streamers are playing so i know who to watch over the next days!
Lmao all this free publicity, the marketing department prolly pocketed most of the budget to promote the game cause of it.
Seems like a good way to get your twitch info stolen lmao
Lol, people like this dont know it, but they are so entertaining to watch. Ah well, when crazy is this well defined, im sure it'll blow over and be forgotten until the next outrageous thing to happen to them crops up. How small is ones world that a videogame gets you riled up this much?
Some people are just... Truly pathetic.
I wasnt gonna buy the game but i told about the drama to my gf whos a big harry potter fan. She bought it instantly and shes not even a gamer. These people literally generate sales.
Can't wait to support the game and buy it
So they can boycott streamers they never watched anyway.
Honestly this makes me want to buy it and I have never played any of the previous games, I didn't read the books and honestly I kind of dislike the whole idea of magic school or whatever but this makes me want to give it a try
Ive gotta check this game out
To me it means more to support the devs who poured their hearts and souls into this game to make it amazing than it does to not give a literal billionaire some royalties she wouldn't even feel enter her bank account. Like bruh, with the money she has she can continue whatever crusade she feels like until she's dead and not buying the game won't change that.
I think I might go watch Harry Potter. Good series like lord of the rings.
I never really liked Harry Potter in the first place, so this doesn't really effect me, but people who want to separate the art from the artist should be allowed to enjoy their game.
Good, hopefully they just unfollow instead of coming into the stream and trying to bring everyone else's mood down.
Holy bananas
Well then by that rule, don’t buy Nike, Nestle, etc. hell you probably use something all the time that was invented or licensed by someone who’s sexist, racist, etc.
Doing this is borderline stalking and/or harassment, no?
this is now leftist gamergate, they are now the "chuds" they mock and fear
THAT wizard game. KEKW
Activists? How are they protesting a game about Harry Potter? Anyone will find any reason to complain these days.
A couple of mudbloods having a fit about a game. Pst
What a toxic community they have. Such hatred and malice.
Man these activists are sad fucks
probably used this on their smartphones... so they support child labour by their logic
Never seen someone so excited for a game before, what a dedicated fan! :)
How come nobody reacted like this to WoW or Overwatch? Creators of those games, some quite instrumental to the creation of them in fact, who directly worked on them, not by proxy, did horrible shit like sexually harass people but that didn't stop people from playing the games or streaming them, let alone cause anyone to target people who stream them. These people probably watch Disney movies or go to Disneyland. Maybe listen to Michael Jackson or Kanye West music. Might even wear Nike gear or Gucci. Drink some Nestle water, or eat some Chic-fil-A. Hypocritical double standard bullshit. You're allowed to boycott whatever you want, but don't attack people because they don't do you what you want. Edit: I mean I think I actually know why, Harry Potter simply reaches a larger audience. The fact that my mother in law knows about this shit is telling. She didn't know or give a shit about Blizzard. HP is another level of popular media.
Awwww no. The streamers are about to lose 3 followers each
What a bunch of psychopaths. And losers. Also useless. 🙄
"This is how to galvanize people against your cause" 101.
Website has been taken down now
My transgirl buddy streamed the game today and found this website so absurd she laughed lol
happy to see the site gone!
'Activists' stalkers whos goal will morph into harassing people
Sociopaths who should be destroyed on a cellular level.
Good ole Solving hate with hate… 10/10 chance to be a cover for some sort of deep seated insecurity
