The amount of hilarity in this article from what the writer assumes are coherent arguments makes this worth at least a glance. For example:

If there were ever a time to remove the Slytherin name from Hogwarts, it was when he was spouting prejudiced nonsense, but the next best time would be when it was clear he was involved in the death of students like Myrtle Warren, who died when Voldemort let the Basilisk loose on the school’s muggle-born population. The next, next best time would be when Voldemort was defeated, and his rise to power was easily traced back to Slytherin’s own views—after all, Voldemort is literally called the “Heir of Slytherin.” And yet, Albus Potter is told by his own father to believe that the Slytherin name is a badge of honor, even if it doesn’t align with what the rest of his family got when they were declared brave and sorted into Gryffindor.

Yes, they are literally trying to cancel culture a fictional child’s book villain house

Hogwarts Legacy is still really woke, so have they really lost control? The devs compromised and made the game DEI friendly so it's still pretty much a lost cause. No telling what they'll continue to do with the IP.

Wokeness is a means to an end. The end goal is total control.

If they don't have total control and their political enemies have wiggle room then they are always in danger of losing control completely.

Looked like every other character was some minority or another.
