I'd like to think that the wizarding world of today, in the HP sense, would start requiring the study of technomancy. Imagine a subject in Hogwarts that teaches technomancy the witches and wizards of today, maybe as far back as post-second wizarding war, that the ministry would start drafting a new addition to the Hogwarts curriculum.

Technomancy. Provided that the wizengamot also agrees or approves this, would see the ministry form a new department dedicated to this form of magic. Under this department are people who would manipulate the internet to erase proof that magic exists from conspiracy theorists. This would also reinforce the statute of secrecy, especially for underage witches and wizards.

The first people who would have to study these are the current Transfiguration Professor, Unspeakables, Aurors, and Curse-breakers since it's in their nature to have to adapt to whatever. The most skilled at technomancy amongst them would become one of the first professors in the subject at Hogwarts.

Naturally, there would be an OWL and NEWT exam for this, something like infusing technological elements adjacent to Muggle Studies to spells or manipulating technological devices using this form of magic only. Or infusing what would be a "dead" device with magic to make it work.

Should this become the fifth exception to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration, then it would lead everyone in the British wizarding world to challenge this exception, and an updated version of Gamp's Law would come out -- it's gonna cause a riot amongst the witch/wizard lawyers and judges. Cue the possibly endless debates between the establishment vs those who are embracing this new form of magic.

If they disapprove of technomancy (which I'm doubtful), they might even label it as a form of the Dark Arts, kind of like inferi creation, and the curses.

It's a HC that shouldn't have been aired out into the world, digital or IRL

It's a HC that is harmful and erases the representation that the LIs bring to a game that has gone global.

Caleb, especially is allegedly modeled after the Chinese actor Yan Yikuan -- like in what universe does he display White man features?

All the LADS men are Chinese, wear traditional Chinese clothes on certain holidays (Master of Fate, HELLO?), celebrate Chinese holidays because the game is a Chinese game, made by a Chinese company. To suddenly come and whitewash all of them and pass that off as "HC" is harmful. It's giving internalized xenophobia.

Please get these Western/Eurocentric biases out and away from this game. Please, do better.

I need help sorting two OCs of mine that I'm considering bringing to life in another playthrough of the game. They're actually Beauxbatons boys but considering I'm bringing them to life on HL, I thought I'd think about sorting them...

And to have people -- from the regions that ATEEZ often visits by the way -- demonize and antagonize those who have kept asking for tour dates but get skipped over? Calling valid criticisms hate?

Not to sound like that person, but the xenophobia is really jumping out here. They have every right to be upset and disappointed. Is ATEEZ to blame? No, of course not. But seriously, check your privilege PLEASE.

Even if KQ eventually -- and that's still a long way off -- comes around and finally includes the regions that have never seen a possibility of touring, the damage has already been done. Those have just become "damn, shut up" tour stops at this point.

And to think, the top five countries who listen to their music the most on Spotify came from those exact regions that KQ has repeatedly skipped. The fanbases who provide translations? They're run by people from the regions that have been so overlooked. People who vote for them on music shows? A huge portion of those voters come from people who are from the very regions that they overlook.
