Queen of The Beasts, Space, and Sweets

Viva Longcat, you absolute unit. You transcended language and the years to bring us joy just by virtue of being super fucking long, and your mama never once tried to profit off you or parade you around for attention, and you lived your life happy and comfortable and totally ignorant to your star status. You're part of the internet mythos of the early 2000s, and now you'll live forever.

As someone who worked on Hogwarts Legacy, please please please buy the game. It’s unfair that the hard work of hundreds of people– that the jobs of hundreds of people should be affected by a person that barely had anything to do with the actual work.  Whether or not the game does well doesn’t really affect JK. She’s already rich. She’s getting crazy revenue from every single Harry Potter merchandise in existence. Nothing will change that. 

Boycotting Hogwarts legacy won’t hurt Rowling. 

You’ll just hurt us. The people whose jobs rely on the game doing well. You’ll hurt the artists and writers that spent hundred of hours toiling away at a project that they love. We love Harry Potter.  Many of us grew up reading that series and plenty of us are Harry Potter nerds. Imagine, a Harry Potter game made by the kids and teens who grew up reading the books and watching the movies. As well as the adults who read those books to their kids.

Instead, donate money to your favorite trans charity. Stream the game and donate that money to organizations that teach of inclusion and love. Use Hogwarts Legacy to support the trans community BECAUSE Rowling will hate it. 

Don’t force your 11 year old self to miss out on something fun, beautiful, and magical. Use that righteous anger as a weapon of love instead.

The problem with “you’ll just hurt the people who worked on it” is that you can apply it to everything. Like, if a game is bad, just truly technically awful, unfun, not buying it will still hurt the people that worked on it. But for some reason when its against Rowling and not just, you know, not buying a game, its a punishment to all the poor salaried workers.

The two unfortunate truths are that 1) everything, good or bad, has a group of people who’s labor went into it and 2) unless you are spending money on everything at all times, there is someone whose job might be more secure because of your purchasing power. Focus on dismantling capitalism instead of guilting people into buying video games.
