Hasnt Nintendo like, not released digital sales for TotK? I remember reading that recently.
Not a cope post, I don't care if you play the terf game, just actually curious.

The terf game?
The owner of the Three Broomsticks is trans… ?

When the series creator is vocally advocating to marginalize transgender people and financially supporting other members of the hate movement, it takes more than a token NPC to make up for it.
Most likely that character is an insincere PR move from Warner Bros, but some trans people also pointed out that naming her Miss Ryan was probably done in bad faith. If anything, sounds exactly like the kind of tasteless thoughtless naming that JKR is infamous for.

There was a lot of that shoehorned in that made me wonder if it would’ve made sense in 1800s wizarding world.

That’s not what “TERF” means.

Theyre trying to argue that JKR being a massive TERF is fine because theres one trans character in the game. The “I cant be racist, I have a black friend” defense.
gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world 9 months ago
The “I can’t be racist, my book has a black guy AND an Asian woman!” defense too. Just don’t think too hard about what they’re named lol

I don’t care for JK. But JK didn’t make the game. Hundreds of designers, artists and programmers did. And you think those people should be boycotted because one person is a TERF.
