    Gee, what could a game in a series created by a terf have to do with terfs? Scientists will ponder this for years. I mean, it’s not like J.K. Rowling owns the I.P. and makes millions of dollars per year from things like this, right?

    Edit: TL;DR

    Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone.

      So, you’re just going to ignore the hundreds of game makers who worked on the game and don’t share her views?

        Where does the money flow, bud? One way or another, you’re supporting her and her transphobic views

          Where does the money flow, bud?

          A lot of people. Artists, programmers, voice actors, designers etc. So what if some fraction goes to a bigot? I’m not allowing her to live rent-free in my head and control my purchases like you are.

            don’t waste your time with these weirdos. they throw around labels of transphobia for daring to disagree with anyone that doesn’t share their narrow, obsessive world views.

                If the lurkers don’t agree with you, does that make them trolls too?

                  Being a lurker and being a troll are mutually exclusive. When you start being a troll, you are no longer a lurker.

            What a long-winded way of telling me you want to support transphobia.

            The people you just named, ya know, other than your favorite bigot, you know how they tend to get paid? Paychecks. One and done. Generally, they don’t get royalties. They might get paid for future projects from that cash, assuming the publisher brings them back or owns them, but as far as straight cashflow goes, that money is going to two places: executives and rights owners.
