As a trans guy, I've been loving this game. I'm honestly mortified by the way some people in the LGBT community are attacking others about playing this game, and it makes me embarrassed and ashamed to be lumped in with them.

Let people play what they want to play. To the people saying that the game is actively causing harm to trans people... relax. I don't need people to protest on my behalf, especially in such a toxic way. This game is literally just pennies to JK Rowling. There are Harry Potter theme parks, for Christ's sake! If the woman never got another dime again, she'd still be set for life. Where is this energy when it comes to the countless big brands with unethical practices? Coke is the leading polluter of the environment, Nike has been charged with employing underage labor, Amazon workers hardly even get bathroom breaks... the list goes on. And yet they all stay in business because there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. So, sending death threats to people who just want to play this game is absurd.

Controversy aside, I've been loving the game. Sure, I don't agree with JK Rowling's beliefs, but Harry Potter was my childhood. I grew up reading all the books and watching all the movies, constantly imagining what it would be like to go to Hogwarts. This game is my childhood dream come true. It's honestly way better than I had hoped, and I'm already looking forward to future DLC or maybe even a sequel. It's a shame that JK Rowling ended up being an intolerable wench, but you can't deny that the Harry Potter world is majestic, and the game does a great job of showing it.
