it means nothing besides them trying to profit from the nostalgia ridden queers. again, yall could support actual queer works instead of work with a thin veneer of it.

I am aware the motives behind it are profit driven. But that doesn't make the message less valuable. People seeing themselves represented is helpful to them, and it normalizes them for other people.

oh boy! they see themselves in games while they're literally getting depersoned by the politics of the creator! in a time where we are literally seeing what such wealth is able to enable you to do... literally buy the white house.

you can't see the forest for the trees.

Again, she is not the creator and has nothing to do with the game other than the creators purchased the rights to the setting.

[–] dota__2@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

she makes money from the brand getting attention because she is the creator of the setting. no one gives a shit about this game without the setting.

you are excusing enabling terfs and fascism because you have no ability to think beyond your own nose. but please make more excuses and lie to yourself more.

You are driven by hate. Rowling is not going to get any more "enabled" than she already is with her bottomless pit of money. If you are truly an ally, suggest better media to support, rather than being combative and alienating everyone in the proces.
