So let me get this straight. There's a new, very polished video game set in the Wizarding World of committed transphobe JK Rowling. The plot of the game is that there is a rebellion of goblins who are fighting against racial discrimination and prejudice by the Ministry of Magic and the wizarding community as a whole. From the Harry Potter Compendium - "The Goblin Rebellions were a series of rebellions in which the goblin population of the Wizarding world revolted against discrimination and prejudice toward their kind by wizards and witches. They were most prevalent during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but even in modern times there are subversive goblin groups working in secret against the Ministry of Magic, according to the Daily Prophet. The historical rebellions have been described as "bloody and vicious." ...These rebellions may have occurred because of lack of goblin representation [in magical Parliament], attempts to enslave goblins as house-elves, stripping of wand privileges, wizard attempts to control Gringotts, or the brutal goblin slayings by Yardley Platt."
And you, the hero, are a wizard whose ultimate task it is to quash the rebellion and put these goblins back in their rightful place under the rule of the wizards.
The goblins of the HP series have long been criticized as offensive Jewish stereotypes, with critics pointing out their control of the magical banking system, their greed, and their exaggerated facial features. And the game is set in 1890, around the time the antisemitic hoax "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" was being developed (published 1903 amidst a new wave of antisemitism in Europe). Part of the official gameplay reveal shows the two villains, Ranrok the goblin (pictured) and Victor Rookwood the dark wizard, discussing what appears to be a child abduction scheme. From a fandom site: "Ranrok was a very greedy individual who sought to claim a magical power he caught a glimpse of that wizardkind hid even from themselves. His worldview was skewed by his hatred for all wizards and witches, who he sought to destroy entirely."
The lead designer for Avalanche Games, Troy Leavitt, has been a harsh critic of social justice movements, was a proponent of Gamergate, called the MeToo movement a "moral panic," and claimed that society gives deferential treatment to LGBTQ+, POC, women, and disabled people. And Warner Brothers knew this before they hired him to make this game. This game where the player fights against greedy, child-abducting Jewish stereotypes. The game where the player suppresses an uprising of an oppressed race who are pushing back against their own disenfranchisement, disarmament, slavery, and murder, in order to maintain the supremacy of the dominant culture.
Um...
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS NONSENSE?
Listen, friends. I know a lot of you still love the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. You've got a lot of emotional baggage tied up in whether you're a member of House Braggadocio, House GiftedChild, House SamwiseGamgee, or House EugenicsAreGoodActually. But I beg you, please, don't buy this game. Walk away from both Rowling and the Wizarding World. Don't give Warner Brothers any more money.

Which thread did you steal this from? I could use a good laugh
Watching retarded hyper political freaks lose their shit over Rowling despite how much those types always fucking love Harry Potter is a genuine delight to me, both because Harry Potter is fucking shit and because it's nice to see one thing they love destroyed in their own eyes

>Reddit seething in a girls only hugbox seeps into Any Forums God damn do I miss when we actually talked about video games instead of drama and faggotry from other sites.
Asher Lee
Indeed
Jose Hill
I like harry potter I buy.
Bentley Watson
Come on. The plot of the latest fantastic beasts movie can be boiled down to "evil racist tries to steal an election". The people responsible for this shit have no intention of creating anything that doesn't mirror modern agendas.
Ian Lewis
I will buy Hogwarts Legacy and I will shit on trannies.
Brody Foster
I love this 'JK rowling is /ourgal/' arc where Any Forums gets herded into buying NEW PRODUCT to own the libs
Lincoln Parker
Don't give a shit if this a post from twitter; this is Any Forums shit and posting it here is a bannable offense. Do your fucking job, jannies. Stop letting this shithole get worse and worse.
Chase Ward
What a based plot summary, wow. Definitely buying now, thanks OP.
Gavin Wood
I'm not buying it because the fucking cowards set it in a time period where wizards have already adopted muggle plumbing and no longer shit their pants whenever they please.

>game has a bowel meter that slowly increases >every time it fills you press F to shit yourself, then do a quicktime event to magic it away before anyone notices Kino
