Hence, the gaming community is split between people who are actively boycotting the game, and those who plan on buying it. While Harry Potter remains phenomenally popular, beloved by children and adults around the world, many fans have since distanced themselves from the wizarding world, with Rowling’s views having killed the magic. The concern is that Rowling, an exceedingly wealthy and influential figure, is using her platform to spread hatred against trans people, and is being emboldened by the success of her franchise. What does this have to do with a video game? Our fight is everyone’s fight and we stand together.
“So I just remind you that TERFs are harmful and awful and that trans rights and liberation can only exist in a world that is equal for everyone. “Rowling wants to divide us into us versus them because she has so fallen down a pipeline of hate that frames trans people, already a deeply vilified and marginalized community and yet one that is so filled with strength and joy, as the enemy, which we aren’t,” Earl wrote. Earl later released a statement urging the LGBTQ community to stand united against bigotry.
