It's easy to rationalise that this does no harm. And while hearts and minds are staying firm, fists of the dissenters are being thrown - violence against trans people continues to rise.īuying Hogwarts Legacy is not the same as punching a trans person in the face. It does not have the hearts and minds of the people, as several surveys show, but it does own the press. She is the greatest figurehead the anti-trans movement in Britain has. She is a respected author, a congenial British national treasure, and (this major issue aside) famously liberal in her political views. She is not an unhinged right wing politician screeching about the Bible, nor a messy-haired Irish comedy writer crying that his wife has left him because of his trans obsession. She is the most famous and most socially acceptable transphobe in the world. JK Rowling is not just a transphobic person. Trans people existing is a common theme of villainy in her post-Potter work too. A quick check of her Twitter profile (a hazmat suit is recommended) shows constant streams of gender critical literature and quote tweets designed to dogpile trans activists - mentions of Harry Potter or her significantly less successful adult novels are few and far between. Despite being the most beloved author of the modern era, Rowling currently dedicates her time almost exclusively to transphobia. As I have written about previously, Hogwarts Legacy is a game tainted by JK Rowling. The anti-Semitism present in the caricatures and the involvement of Troy Leavitt only add to the controversy, but transphobia sits at the heart of it all. You might be asking 'what are these so-called numerous issues?', to which I say 'don't demean us both, you know as well as I do'.
