Considering one of the main hubs for outrage was /r/GamingCirclejerk who themselves use the defense of “lmao this list of streamers playing wizard game totally isn’t an invite to harass them. This is a joke subreddit why are you taking it seriously?!”.
I can hardly blame people for thinking the outrage was fake. Some of it was so over the top it was insane
That said, fuck J.K Rowling, and fuck her opinions
There is something to be said about voting with your wallet and boycotting people who actively donate to anti-lgbt organisations.
But christ was that particular boycott super fucking obnoxious.
I thought the game was kinda mid. The first part in Hogwarts was amazing, the rest of the game turned into the standard open world grind a bit too quickly for me.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I can see how you did 😁
Yes. Some game “reviews” were such absurd, performative straw man attacks at JK Rowling that they bordered on parody. I’m thinking of the Wired one in particular but others were equally bad. The irony is these diatribes clearly helped the game, or rather, this really good game sold well in spite of that crap. Ultimately these websites just undermined their own reputations.
mock?

I bought the game only because of the obnoxious virtue signaling cunts screaming about boycott.
Ended up enjoying it tremendously and playing it way too much.
So, thanks to obnoxious virtue signaling lynch mob I guess.
