Good. Fuck that entire franchise and the bitch who proliferated hate off the backs of its fans.

It’s disappointing that even here on the fediverse people are cheering for the franchise of someone who’s sole motivation these days seems to be hating trans people.
3xBork@lemmy.world 5 days ago
There’s about a thousand and one other people involved with the franchise after 8 movies, 3 spinoff movies, a play and a dozen or so videogames.
Rowling is pretty much irrelevant and people aren’t into the HP stuff because they particularly want to give her money.

She is directly benefitting from the sales and people buying Harry Potter stuff know that.

Every time I see Harry Potter or J.K. Rowling’s name in the news I look for comments like these to restore a tiny bit of my sanity.

I think it’s really interesting that the christians used to have a huge hate boner for Harry Potter when I was growing up but now it’s shifted to the left sphere. They all kinda flip flopped

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Especially when you’ve only ever read one book.

Warner bros has no idea how to media anymore. They forgot about looney tunes characters. They cancel their movies after shooting before release. They do t make dlc for games that sold like hotcakes. All they did was patent the nemesis system. what the fuck are they doing?

Oh no… anyways.
Alloi@lemmy.world 4 days ago
lets just create an alternate wizarding universe.
i mean, she stole the idea from someone else anyways.
this could just be a “cruel reflection” minus the TERF nonsense, and wizards shitting on the floor.

minus the TERF nonsense, and wizards shitting on the floor.
I get that but why go after such a highly regarded part of official canon lore?

Professor Fig dies at the end no matter what ending and also Rookwood cursed Anne and framed the goblins
TwinTitans@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Disappointing for sure. Great game and has the potential for some great expansions.
Maybe Hogwarts 2…

Still waiting for them to drop Denuvo so I can pirate it. Yes, I am aware there are some old builds out there, but I know what kind of crazy circumvented Denuvo in those. No, thanks.

Only would buy if Rowling wasn’t around to receive the money from that, for now, only piracy
pyre@lemmy.world 3 days ago
oh no not the expansion to the game no one even remembers
dude they shut down monolith and canceled the only game with a nemesis system we were going to play. nothing they do is newsworthy anymore. they were always shitty but now they’re also completely pointless.

There is a lot to say about JK Rowling and trans right, but this topic is kinda devolving into an unnecessary flame war.
I’ll keep as much comments as I can, but some of them clearly violate both LW TOS and community rules, and thus will be removed.

JK Rowlling is a transphobe, a bigot, and a fascist.

It’s actually so refreshing seeing upvoted comments here with the correct take, whereas the chuds would be all over this on the other site
Fuck JKR and everything she stands for
dota__2@lemmy.world 5 days ago
and yet, there’s plenty of dogshit apologists in this thread arguing to “just let people play games” because they have zero self control. this place is literally no different than the other.
