Hogwarts Legacy Deserved Little Attention

Harry Potter used to be extremely popular. The fandom had a very diverse fanbase with some making the characters outwardly LGBTQ+. Something that the actual series never did. It was even believed that J.K. Rowling was a good person, though she made mistakes that allies make from time to time.

But then she came out as a trans-exclusionary radical feminist (terf) and things only got worse from there. So when Hogwarts Legacy was announced, it was instantly a controversial topic. Some people did reasonable things and others...well...they went far beyond the limits of sanity.

Myself, I don't believe in giving Terfing any money. Plus I don't have the hand control necessary to play the game. So I watched a playthrough of it.
