#JKRowling doesn't just espouse transphobic beliefs [0], she funds a sexual assault clinic that explicitly turns away trans women [1], and aligns herself with eugenicists and alt-right anti-abortion homophobes [2].

Buying #HogwartsLegacy directly funds her efforts to harm trans causes and take away the rights of trans people. You should not buy it.

@stevestreza and yes. I am aware she is a colossal piece of shit. I am also a die hard liberal who thinks that this “cancel culture” has hit critical mass of ridiculous.

@bgregus Where did I say anything about "cancel culture"?

@stevestreza you’re saying nobody should buy the game because it funds her. That means according to you “people just can’t enjoy Harry Potter” because the creator is scum. That’s the very definition of cancel culture my friend.

@bgregus very curious what politics leads you to simultaneously say "saying transphobic things and funding transphobic causes and associating with alt-right homophobes is bad" and "people being criticized for saying and funding bad things is 'cancel culture'"

@stevestreza Haha. Ok pal. Enjoy your high horse while the rest of us enjoy the content we want to enjoy. We don’t need people like you making us feel bad for it. Who are you to do that to another person? That’s pretentious of you.

@stevestreza question. If you are so self righteous why are you still advertising a twitter account in your mastodon profile? Do I need to send you articles about how bad of a human Elon is? Yet you support his platform. Interesting, no?
