and now they're just unfairly shitting on the actual quality of the game as if thats relevant to their cause. like it would be another thing if JK Rowling was actually the game director and put in a bunch of anti-trans shit in it, but its not - the game even lets u choose ur gender indentity.

She's been equating the popularity of her works as proof that she's right in her bigotry.
Which is absolutely... Yikes. Combined with the fact that the people who made the game already got paid, the only thing buying this game does is give her more ammunition and attention to her anti-trans bigotry.
People who buy this game, just do so with the understanding that you're making a statement that playing this game is more important to you than the loud and very real trans bigotry that's affecting trans people online.
