Quote from: Immortan Jonesy on Feb 13, 2023, 02:39:02 PMEh the problem is...Lovecraft is not a current millionaire, who spends his spare time defending a hate speech. In fact, he's not even alive. 😅
But let's pretend for a second that he is alive and rich thanks to his art. In this hypothetical case, if you paid for merchandising that adapts his creation, you would be...indeed...helping an openly racist person to become wealthy. It doesn't matter if Lovecraft invented cartoons for children, nor if it was not your intention to support a racist person. The implication would be the same and if it was unintentional, it would be at least an unfortunate side effect. I understand your frustration with everything political these days, but we are adults, and as such we must be aware of the consequences of our actions.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you can't play Hogwarts Legacy, as you are free to do whatever you want with your life and money. But if you do, you would be supporting J.K. Rowling without a doubt.
You're not supporting JK Rowling as she's already a multimillionaire. Buying the game you're supporting people who made it.
Consequences of your actions? Do you truly believe that unaware of these shitstorm occurring on social media parents who buy game for their beloved child wanting to have some fun in Harry Potter universe, are supporting transphobia?
If you eat meat and diary then you supposedly (according to this twisted logic regarding Hogwarts Legacy) support animal cruelty and if you buy clothes made in China, Pakistan, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka as so on, you supposedly support modern slavery? Nonsense
I assume that you eat meat/diary and wear clothes made in those countries but I don't believe that you support animal cruelty and modern slavery.
And what about these Anti-Semitic tropes? Seriously, who wrote this review?
