LCPWarner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion
🦄🦄🦄It’s disappointing that even here on the fediverse people are cheering for the franchise of someone who’s sole motivation these days seems to be hating trans people.
There’s about a thousand and one other people involved with the franchise after 8 movies, 3 spinoff movies, a play and a dozen or so videogames.
Rowling is pretty much irrelevant and people aren’t into the HP stuff because they particularly want to give her money.
She is directly benefitting from the sales and people buying Harry Potter stuff know that.
Yeah so are about a thousand other people who worked on the franchise/product in question and may be very positive influences on the world.
Trying to deny a literal billionaire money is symbolic at best.
Do you feel the same about boycotting Tesla?
If you are a fan of HP your choices are few and far between. If you are a fan of electric cars there are tons of better options that you can choose from. Adding on to that, the level of investment in both are orders of magnitude apart. What’s more, Tesla as a company has a reputation of having lots of issues of racism and misogyny in the workplace. I think the two are different enough that one can buy the blame and boycott Tesla without any hypocrisy.
