No, you do not want right wingers attacking Hogwarts Legacy, if anything they should just be either ambivalent to it or saying it's ok.
Why? Because you never interrupt an enemy making a mistake
Right now the left wing have pissed off a massive amount of the vtubing and streaming community that it's bleeding into normie space. They are getting a ton of bad PR and their antics might bring the wrath of lawyers of Hololive. We want them to die on this hill than be given a chance to escape by getting the right involved.
It's woke as fuck ( apparently the British isles were always full of non-Whites and on board with transgender ideology ), but not burning the heretic Rowling and self-immolate the project into a pile of ashes means it still failed the purity test.
They're so hysterical they saw a character with a Celtic pagan goddess first name and very normal Irish last name and instantly fixated on "SIR", they didn't need any outside prodding whatsoever.
I think you mean the company got you to buy a woke game by pretending there was stealth satire. Troons have never been a viable market strategy and having them attack it has just made those buying it to spite them the fools.
Except you’re playing a game with a troon in it… they just won with this game succeeding because now they have anti troon morons buying a game that literally has fag and troon characters
too many non Whites in 1890's Scotland(which should have no non Whites at all). In the character creation you can make male looking characters and call it a witch, or female looking characters and call it a wizard. (you also can't really create a White character) , Also the tranny and gay NPCs. Also even more ridiculous considering again its 1890's Scotland.
You could reasonably have people who aren't from the Isles attending the best magic academy in the world in a setting where it's possible to teleport around the world instantly for free. That's not why they did it, but the setting could support it.
I believe there is at least one character who's basically a special transfer, but that doesn't excuse the rest of them. Or is the rest of the world utterly devoid of the talent required to build more schools? I think them all flooding the UK says more about the rest of that wizard world than anything else.
In the game there's a student from Uganda who explains that at the African magic school, they don't have wands and the school itself is just dug out of a mountain because they don't really build buildings either. The troons who freaked out over transphobia have, so far, completely missed this.
Ohhh I have noticed this trend of not really being able to create white characters, but I didn't realize it was a thing.
I like to make characters that look like me, and I am very fair skinned. But instead of offering you a slider they want to make you choose from a skin palette. Which only has one "white" option that's a medium brown.
Reading the comments it looks like I can't play a pale creature glowing from the moon and thin as a raven's feather?
I love Californian designers who don't understand the concept of there not being a sun most of the time. The tanning salon won't let them know what they look like as Smeagol or a guy from Seattle.
Apparently some devs REALLY underestimate just what kind of skin tone range exists. Just being in the "white" range could still be really damn dark compared to Nordic skin tones.
People always say "paper bag test", but white vs non-white is really more of a tone thing. White people are not all the same color, but I am for instance actually yellow and red. Such pigment as I have is yellow, but maybe that's just a really diffuse brown IDK. If I had a tan, I would retain that hue but my darkness would increase (lightness decrease). White is hue, basically, not lightness.
I've never been in to Harry Potter so I have no intent on playing it but but from what I've seen is woke but a decent game so I get why a lot of normies like it. There is nothing to gain from the anti-sjw attacking this game.
I disagree, I have mocked every friend who bought and played the game and it has been wildly successful. Funny how asking if they’re jerking off to the tranny wizard in front of their gf/spouse makes them not want to play the game. Here’s a template “hey (name) still wristing hot spells all over that tranny witch in that kids game you said was totally not gay?”
hey, should we let the woke Left take the biggest and most public L they've taken in years?
You’re a flagrant retard if you think playing a woke, pandering, diversity game where you can’t even play as a Scottish person in 1890s Scotland but there’s fags and troons is “the left taking the biggest and most public L in years”.
And yet, this is still the biggest rebuke cancel culture has suffered in quite a while. They took a product -- that was targeted at them, mind you -- and very publicly announced that they were taking it down and ruining anybody who so much as dared to play it.
The product went on to set sales records, despite the entire weight of the insane Left and journo-industrial complex doing everything they could to cancel it. Everybody saw them fail miserably. Instead of caving, everybody gave them a stiff middle finger. And everyone saw the money absolutely pouring in in response.
The game could literally be "Woke Simulator 2023" and, due to their foolish, colossal public blunder, the sheer runaway success of it would still be a huge slap in their faces.
They just randomly humilated themselves in front of every corpo (that isn't actively bought off), normie, and Harry Potter fan on the planet. Let them.
This is definitely the most retarded take of the situation. Let me help you with what really happened, Troons screamed not good enough and morons like you are now lapping up woke diversity with glee because the fringe left is never satisfied. The left is shifting the Overton window right in front of you and you’re clapping like.a seal and calling it a victory…
Yes. And that is going to be what those normies and corporates are going to take away from this. That it's okay -- no, richly rewarded -- to ignore whatever they're screaming about (and the ones that actually followed the game will know the woke elements got the devs nothing but an attempted boycott). The first time is always the hardest. It only gets easier and easier.
This is blind ignorance. You can’t say you won by eating a woke pile of shit and going maybe the next bowl won’t be as woke! I’m assuming you have to be fairly young as we had seen the same ploy with gay relationships in games a decade ago where the fags/ journos blew up Twitter calling it not good enough and the companies pandered harder, not less. You calling a game with fags, troons, and not being able to play a Scottish person in 1890s Scotland a win is cognitive dissonance on an unprecedented scale.
No it didn't. It set one record in the United Femdom in the long dead medium of physical sales and every pro-feminist outlet clickbaited it.
Sales are already down over 60% even in physical copies, because it's shit and only feminist true believers who support Rowling and her pro-murderer cause are buying it. Conveniently, that part isn't so widely reported, and is reported with such copium that "it's still #1" like beating yet another Fortnite skin bundle and the 10 year old Dead Space is an achievement.
Seriously, I checked a UK game store online - Hogwarts is above Elden Ring, which is over a year old, so not even close to new and most people who want it already have it. Then the next item is a kids game based off those weird dolls, then a huge list of old games, including Forza Horizon 5 and the latest FIFA (because if you don't have it by now, you're never going to buy it).
It's not a best seller, it was an overly hyped piece of junk that people got conned into buying by political controversy. It had one good week of sad fantasists buying it and benefited greatly from the lack of other titles to compete.
Atomic Heart will pass it in the sales chart this week on the Microsoft Store, providing it doesn't turn out to be utter shit - unless Game Pass availability hurts sales a lot.
Wait... so it sold more physical copies than any other game in UK history, despite physical copies being dead? In the UK, they sold more irrelevant dead versions of HL than total sales of, say,
GTA Vice City or Kingdom Hearts? Then it went on to become the most concurrently viewed game in Twitch history, as well as the number one AND number two game on Steam for the week ending yesterday (up from #2 and #4 last week, so I am not sure where you're getting your numbers). Sorry, dude, but it's absolutely fair to say that it set records, and to enjoy the abject humiliation.
edit: the game examples, since I went too far back.
Wait... so it sold more physical copies than any other game in UK history, despite physical copies being dead?
Well, she is literally from there and the UK is known as TERF Island for a reason. That's not what the record is - it's most sales in the first week, not longevity or total sales. Sales numbers are already falling, which is definitely good news. The previous holder was already a Harry Potter game, from a shitty movie tie-in, so it shows the taste in games UK people have.
I wouldn't say you can extrapolate what happened there to say it's a success - digital sales could have been poor, #1 with zero competition is not that impressive, as much as they like to pretend. Steam charts will only be relevant when something else of note launches, otherwise the only true competition is the various PC long-term chart holders like Euro Truck Simulator and other overrated garbage.
Fine, it's the best-selling game in UK history, the most-viewed game of all time on Twitch, and is sitting at number 1 AND number 2 on Steam for the week ending February 19th (up from #2 and #4). This is despite every click bait rag attempting to cancel it.
Atomic Heart will pass it in the sales chart this week on the Microsoft Store
a) sure, that would be fine with me, b) that's a weird qualifier. Why not Steam?
Not really an achievement, the last one was also a complete women's shitpiece.
It probably isn't when accounting for digital sales, I'd guess the actual answer to that question is a FIFA title from whatever year it sold the most. That game is practically a religion in England, most young people wouldn't want to know you if you didn't play it.
the most-viewed game of all time on Twitch
Anything could become popular when every eSport is on off-season and there's no new games to gain hype.
and is sitting at number 1 AND number 2 on Steam for the week ending February 19th (up from #2 and #4). This is despite every click bait rag attempting to cancel it.
Nobody is trying to cancel it. If anything, mainstream media are helping it.
All the ragebait is just marketing to help her. They know exactly what they're doing.
that's a weird qualifier. Why not Steam?
Because I don't use it or care about it. PC players buy some utter crap, remember when they all jerked off to The Witcher, and then Cyberpunk 2077's broken release?
Also because console platforms don't have third party storefronts that can skew the results, like the Epic Store or Origin.
If that’s was how the economy operated then why would you invest unless there was another product down the line. Cut them off after one and then when the second product comes there is diminishing returns.
I doubt it. The woke religion doesn’t go from hating something to liking something. It can continue liking someone or something that started in its good graces, and it can turn from liking to hating someone or something in an instant (like, you know, Harry Potter). There is no redemption / mercy / forgiveness concept in their religion, though. They decided as a group that HL’s woke bits weren’t enough to make up for the fact that it’s based on apostate Rowling’s thing. They’ve decided it’s in the PrObLeMaTiC column and there’s no way out of that one other than death/destruction, depending on whether you’re a person or a thing.
I was going to buy it eventually. What makes it woke? I have heard the diversity is ridiculous for the time frame it is set in so that is annoying. What else?
I watched my niece play it a few times, I didn’t see anything overtly woke, just basic Modern MCU kind of stuff.
there’s a ton of brown and Asian people, way more than in the books/movies that take place a hundred years later.
There’s some gay characters who just happen to mention their partners the first time you interact with them for no reason other than to establish the fact that they’re gay.
The Women are brilliant at everything, most of the teachers at Hogwarts are women and they’re all super competent, all of the villains I saw were male, the headmaster is a dick that everyone hates (although my niece says he was in the lore so it’s accurate) you get saved by the tranny witch/wizard in a cut scene, one of the companion characters is a Witch from Africa and she says that African witches don’t need wands to use magic for some reason, most of the female characters are dressed down and plain, etc.
I didn’t see anything super egregious, there weren’t any Centaurs advocating for communism or witches shouting their abortions or anything like that. As a lot of people have said it’s a decent open world game, it’s just very current-year.
So is a lack of reading comprehension apparently. You seem to have a weird bug up your ass about this game, how did what I say show any cognitive dissonance? I said it was full of faggy current year shit, and it is. I said there wasn’t anything overtly political and there wasn’t.
You seem confused, a troon existing as a troon in a children’s game is directly political, you might as well as be teaching gender identity to children. Your niece is being indoctrinated right in front of you and you’re response is to yell “not that woke!”
No, you do not want right wingers attacking Hogwarts Legacy, if anything they should just be either ambivalent to it or saying it's ok.
Why? Because you never interrupt an enemy making a mistake
Right now the left wing have pissed off a massive amount of the vtubing and streaming community that it's bleeding into normie space. They are getting a ton of bad PR and their antics might bring the wrath of lawyers of Hololive. We want them to die on this hill than be given a chance to escape by getting the right involved.
It's woke as fuck ( apparently the British isles were always full of non-Whites and on board with transgender ideology ), but not burning the heretic Rowling and self-immolate the project into a pile of ashes means it still failed the purity test.
We’ve instead seen the opposite, we saw trannies attack it and then people in our own forum started fawning over a woke game with a troon in it…
Tbf, we got troons to think Sirona is some kind of stealth satire
They're so hysterical they saw a character with a Celtic pagan goddess first name and very normal Irish last name and instantly fixated on "SIR", they didn't need any outside prodding whatsoever.
I think you mean the company got you to buy a woke game by pretending there was stealth satire. Troons have never been a viable market strategy and having them attack it has just made those buying it to spite them the fools.
I didn't buy shit tho, HP is lame. But I'm all for companies realizing "buy to own the troons" is a profitable strategy
Except you’re playing a game with a troon in it… they just won with this game succeeding because now they have anti troon morons buying a game that literally has fag and troon characters
Its a decent game. Simple enough gameplay to be playable by women but still well crafted. Like babies first open world rpg.
You can tell the devs and artists really were into the source material.
too many non Whites in 1890's Scotland(which should have no non Whites at all). In the character creation you can make male looking characters and call it a witch, or female looking characters and call it a wizard. (you also can't really create a White character) , Also the tranny and gay NPCs. Also even more ridiculous considering again its 1890's Scotland.

That's hilarious. Under all the woke and diversity there seems to be a surprising amount of "racism".
This is where me not giving a crap about the source material comes in. I can see it, and I wouldn't mind it if the witch school looks like the UN.
But when they do that to LotR, it pisses me off.
So, I think Potter fans have a right to care.
There is already a mod to choose different skin colors of the player character.
Still missing one to patch the demographic bug ( any place hosting such hypothetical future mod will be attacked ).
So you’re saying you have to mod the game to play as a Scottish person in 1890s Scotland? Why is anyone defending this pile of woke garbage again?
Because trannies have their panties in a bunch, we're supposed to clap like seals, I guess?
The Harry Potter soyboys on this forum is truly hilarious, this game by every benchmark is more woke than spellbound.
Ohhh I have noticed this trend of not really being able to create white characters, but I didn't realize it was a thing.

Really? They don't let you make a white character?
There are no skin tone options that get closer than "white-passing mulatto", no.
Apparently some devs REALLY underestimate just what kind of skin tone range exists. Just being in the "white" range could still be really damn dark compared to Nordic skin tones.
People always say "paper bag test", but white vs non-white is really more of a tone thing. White people are not all the same color, but I am for instance actually yellow and red. Such pigment as I have is yellow, but maybe that's just a really diffuse brown IDK. If I had a tan, I would retain that hue but my darkness would increase (lightness decrease). White is hue, basically, not lightness.
can't even use the killing curse on anything other than actual enemies.

Why do you do that? What are trying to accomplish by doing what you’ve described here?
Why do you jerk off to trannies in a kids game?
They probably just think you have autism and are being polite so that you leave.
Awe, the cognitive dissonance Harry Potter fanboy is butthurt after taking some feminine penis!
Harry Potter? Never heard of it.
But it doesn't matter if they play it or not, Rowling already got the money.
When you buy stocks do you only do so off of their current value?
How does that relate? Stocks can increase in value based off fundamentals, but the money spent on that game is already gone, it's not returning.
If that’s was how the economy operated then why would you invest unless there was another product down the line. Cut them off after one and then when the second product comes there is diminishing returns.

Cognitive dissonance is a bitch
So is a lack of reading comprehension apparently. You seem to have a weird bug up your ass about this game, how did what I say show any cognitive dissonance? I said it was full of faggy current year shit, and it is. I said there wasn’t anything overtly political and there wasn’t.
Pick one
🤔
The second one.
So there aren’t troons, fags, forced diversity, and “inclusion” in the children’s wizard game?
Correct, by overtly woke I mean they didn’t really bring up politics directly in the gameplay I watched, it’s more indirectly or surreptitiously woke.
You seem confused, a troon existing as a troon in a children’s game is directly political, you might as well as be teaching gender identity to children. Your niece is being indoctrinated right in front of you and you’re response is to yell “not that woke!”
No, I laughed and made fun of the tranny, then we both laughed and agreed that the tranny was probably gonna neck itself lol
It was written by a feminist woman, after all.
Wow. That is current year for sure. I read the books but didn’t see all the movies
There's even a tranny villain lmao
Never going to bury the hatchet against Rowling until she denounces Julie Bindel.
