That's a tough one. On the one hand, you have Rowling, who is a completely woke imbecile with her retcon shenanigans. "Dumbledore was actually gay!" "I never said Hermione wasn't black!" "Voldermort is totally a Nazi and absolutely represents [trendy thing she doesn't like]." But on the other hand you have these histrionic freaks who have completely lost their shit because Rowling wasn't game for every single thing they demand of members of the church of woke. Which is worse?

Since it's a purely binary choice (communists make every issue besides gender a strict black and white binary, trying to be a super smug smart guy and saying "I think they're BOTH wrong" is exactly the same as active support of whatever position communists are claiming), the only correct answer is Rowling's side.

It really is amazing how many people are falling for this easy "enemy of my enemy" game, despite Rowling being an open and fanatical woketard for decades prior.

Like, she is absolutely someone who embodies the literal definition of TERF. Because she is the same old radical feminist breed that started wokeness and all this madness, she just excludes trannies from being allowed in her "women are superior" club.

Or they saw the game when it was announced and thought, “hey that looks kind of neat I might buy it.” And now all the crazy leftist are losing it over this game and now it’s like buying this game will be fun regardless if the game is actually fun.

If that's their thing, more power to them. I doubt this game's failure or success will actually make a difference to Rowling either way.

But buying the game to own the Leftists in their war against a different mega woke is absolutely imbecilic.

As someone who's on the fence but leaning against buying this particular game I agree that buying something just to spite the left is retarded, especially in a case like this where you're really just siding with one evil faction over the other. That said it's absolutely legitimate to treat leftist outrage as positive advertising and look into it. I've done that in the past and made purchases after becoming interested for reasons other than the outrage. I probably never would have gotten into the Red Dead series had it not been for the Shirrako incident on Youtube.

I don't disagree, but treating that as the only selling point for you is the problem I'm seeing a lot of people go through with.

Looking into it more to make a strong decision for yourself is how any consumer should be, but most people are letting their enemies control them through reflexive opposition. Which we are already seeing the "weaponized" version of being deliberately used in marketing in minor ways, which means it absolutely will soon be overtly used.

Agreed own the libs purchases are a silly endeavor. But negative press could just as easily be fueling someone who had no prior interest in the game to look at it and becoming interested in it. Personally when I first saw it I thought it looked better than any other Harry Potter game (low bar I know). If I end up getting it it’s more of a this looks fun. Lefties getting upset over game sales data is just a happy side effect.

I mean, what other games even are there? Movie tie ins, Lego movie tie ins and the Merula Worship and MTX Overload Game? I vaguely can recall some Quidditch games maybe existing. This is basically the only actual original game in the barn.

Also plenty leftists are getting their win off this succeeding. With the whole black wizards in the 1800s Britain and you racist if you even mention it thing, and plenty other obvious clues its still a woke product. Seething trannies isn't the only Leftist out there.

In a few years you'll be saying "MAPs" are worse than trannies.

It started somewhere, and that where is free-for-all sexual gratification.

Don't care. Preordering is cringe. You don't even get anything out of it over buying on the day of release.

Yup, waiting until the price goes down or it turns out to be amazing. The popcorn from all the freaks flipping out over it gives enough entertainment without playing it anyway. lol

For the past 5 years, buying a game on release gets you a fucking beta product. Wait a few months and you get a much better product at a discount. Hell, wait a year (not that hard when you have a backlog like mine) and you can get all the DLC packed together for even cheaper.

With all the bitching that they are doing, it's like instead of a game set in the wizarding world where we'll be in magic school we'll be building a Nazi army using magic

Which is a surprising direction for the new Killzone/wolfenstein game

I'd go all in on every console if we were allowed to create custom houses like guilds in World of Warcraft.

Imagine being a kid, having the sorting hat placed on your head, waiting to hear who you'll be learning with for the next bit of your life. You've had hopes for some houses and dreaded being placed in others. In an instant the hat announces a smaller house you weren't aware existed.

Reichsbürger

Actually had me chuckle, do you mean the actual meaning behind that or grandpa Heinrich with his ravioli.. Eh I mean prepper equipment?

I went by the Google definition. "Reichsbürger is a label for several anticonstitutional/revisionist groups and individuals in Germany and elsewhere who reject the legitimacy of the modern German state, the Federal Republic of Germany, in favour of the German Reich."

To explain my joke: a couple weeks ago they arrested some old folks who in some chat groups were talking about taking over after.... Something happens. They raided over 100 houses found like maybe 1 gun(think it was a bit more, no talks about legality of the gun... now its suddenly way more, they show old footage of the guns though so seems rather fake) they and found "prepper equipment", which is honestly just the grandpa's ravioli in a can. I think my joke was too much of an insider for anyone not following the clown show to actually get. Even the general population knows this was some clown show which is what makes this extra funny.

Edit: It has got to be tiring making an excuse every time somebody criticizes you. Don’t you ever wonder why everybody who speaks to you just happens to fall into a category that you can just write them off?

I thought Harry Potter was faggot shit even before Rowling started publicly retconning characters as gay and denying her own writings about Hermione's skin.

I'm not dropping my cash of a franchise I've never cared for just to 'own the libs'.

I've been curious about the game and I was considering getting it. I was never into Harry Potter but the game looked kind of interesting. But then I heard that they put tranny nonsense in as penance for JK Rowling's blasphemy against the Church of Girl Dick despite her not being associated with the game. So I don't know anymore.

But this seems awfully personal for John. This is far from the first time he's talked about it. For a dude who's totally not a tranny he puts a lot of effort into the Church of Girl Dick's witch hunts.

All this because Rowling believes men are not women which is a view held by probably 99 percent of the world. I’m including people who understand this but cave to woke pressure

I'd care more if I gave a shit about Harry Potter. And I feel like a ton of people preordering it for the memes are going to realize they don't either. Seriously, it comes off as a marketing move.
