Last week, the Harry Potter RPG “Hogwarts Legacy” dropped, and the Internet has been in a high fury ever since. Should you play the game and support, as one user aptly described JK Rowling, a billionaire transphobe? Or should you perhaps leave the poorly-designed game alone and focus on other RPGs, maybe ones that don’t directly funnel money into Rowling’s sizeable bank account?

For those who gladly passed on the game, here’s some good news: a new game pack featuring 69 games by queer and trans developers, none of which directly contribute to anti-trans measures in the UK, and none of which were developed by anti-social justice YouTubers!

The “Trans Witches are Witches” bundle retails for a cool $60 and includes $300 worth of games, zines, and music all made by queer and trans creators. There’s even a $10 bundle if you’re experiencing hardship. Because nobody should have to play a crappy transphobic game just to experience a little magic.

"Trans Witches are Witches"

"69"

"10 bundle"

All the cringe puns, the paiinnn.

Anyway, apparently this protest has almost raised 1 million dollars as of two days ago. I wonder where the money is going.


(EDIT-Game Rant tried to make make a nonsensical novel against the series that they quickly tried to delete after backlash and bury, but was archived, read it here.)

Poorly designed game?

 

[belmarduk]

This will surely outsell Hogwarts Legacy

 

[DeepEnigma]

Retarded.

 

[nial]

Pathetic.

 

[HotSauceEnema]

Got banned on a subreddit for arguing that this looks terrible lol

 

[GHG]

Retarded.

The clowns don't understand the simple fact that Hogwarts Legacy is selling because it's a good game and gamers tend to buy good games.

It's really not as deep as they think it is. Laughing at them is just the cherry on top, it's not the cake.

this is getting out of control

[Catphish]

Ok. MSN, too, then.

Christ, this is all so painfully stupid.

 

[Crayon]

This is not harassing people and telling them what they can and can't consume so I'm fine with it.

How would transgender even work in the Harry Potter universe, like couldn't you cast an actual spell to make you change your gender?

Just enjoy the game, no need for outrage bait like this

 

[OmegaSupreme]

69 shit pieces of media? Sign me the fuck up!

 

[DryvBy]

The internet. Who is the internet? Am I the internet? Are we the internet? Why does the internet keep getting upset to sell their image to clickbait?

 

[Gaiff]

And those imbeciles didn't bother doing their research. Witch can also designate a male. In old documents, men accused of witchcraft were called witches too. Good job owning yourselves, idiots.

 

[DeepEnigma]

69 shit games! Sign me the fuck up!

What an ironic number they land on. Totally not sexual deviants 24/7.

 

[tkscz]

Well the list of games is on an itch.io page that my job's network blocks so can't see the list of games.

But I'll make the guess before looking that most of them are boring dating sims and all of them are low tier indie games.

Look if they want to "boycott" the game fine, but this doesn't hurt the sales of Hogwarts Legacy.

I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish by doing this. If they wanted to spread the word of games made by LGTQ creators they could've done so at anytime so this feels disingenuous.

How come they can't just not buy the game and live happy?

I'm still waiting to find out how the lord of the rings prequel will have a mass genocide to kill off the black characters that don't exist in the future according to the movies.

 

[LegendOfKage]

"Aptly"

Remember when journalism was a thing, kids? Reporting all sides of a given issue, and letting people decide for themselves. Reading article after article and honestly not being able to tell what the reporter's opinion was?

 

[Ozriel]

Went into one of those threads on Twitter and got the ending to HL spoiled.

Fuckers.

 

[names are for friends]

damn, I can't imagine why people are buying Hogwarts Legacy instead of this.

 

[Saber]

Good luck living in their clown world.

Meanwhile real world people will glady enjoy Harry Potter games and series.

I mean,

 

[LordCBH]

Hmmm. Play one good game (Hogwarts) or play 69 dogshit games because “muh mental illness”…..I’ll take the good game thanks.

 

[Hendrick's]

should you perhaps leave the poorly-designed game alone

I love how all these clowns knock the actual game as if they have played it. And if they have played it, then GTFO with the hypocrisy.

Is this a screenshot from one of their "games"?

 

[Kataploom]

Oh, look, they finally released the FOMO Reduction Bundle.

What's so bad about just missing out on that game? I thought they took themselves seriously at least...

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

poorly-designed game

I can smell something, ain't that butthurt.

 

[Golgo 13]

“The internet has been in a fury since the game dropped.”

LMFTFY

“A vocal but tiny minority of disturbed individuals have been whining on Twitter about Hogwarts Legacy while the game has broken sales records and garnered critical acclaim worldwide.”

It's like a spiritual successor to Action 52, Action 69! Now with Cheatah Trans!

 

[Games of Today]

Lmao, the Hogwarts devs literally put the most trans, trans I've ever seen in a videogame in the game for the trans and they hate the trans! It's fucking gold!

I'm so glad they can't enjoy the game.

Not only that but there are mods coming out that turn the trans back into a woman. So I hope the trans find out about that too!

 

[names are for friends]

Personally I think the target audience for Harry Potter is the same as the target audience for lifeboats on the Titanic, but I'd still rather play it than Trans Power Fantasy #69420 XD Edition

 

[Brigandier]

 

[Topher]

Trans magic is magic?

 

[FoxMcChief]

Wow.

 

[Kataploom]

I love how all these clowns knock the actual game as if they have played it. And if they have played it, then GTFO with the hypocrisy.

Actually, they probably played it, they aren't that serious about their own ideology to miss out on it, they'd rather enjoy the guilt and hide it from the others in their circle to avoid being targeted lol... They'll just talk shit about the game regardless

These people need to transcend their retarded cult.

Bunch of crackheads i tell ya

"You will never be a witch"

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Of course it had to be 69 games, after all who is fucking who with what is one of the most profound questions of our time.

Imagine you interview a cis actress and nonchalantly ask her: “All our viewers are curious - do you swallow?”. It’s this level of innuendo.

 

[Upper_Management]

Trans Wizards can't be Wizards?

 

[Cyberpunkd]

And those imbeciles didn't bother doing their research. Witch can also designate a male. In old documents, men accused of witchcraft were called witches too. Good job owning yourselves, idiots.

Aren’t male witches called Witchers?
