indeed, rowling's own woke fans turned against her.
first they pressured her to introduce a gay character in harry potter so she made dumbledore gay.
now since rowling said she doesnt support the medical transition of minors they are trying to cancel her.

No one pressured her to make Dumbledore gay. She revealed he was gay in 2007 way before any "woke movement" or "agendas".

bro you have to be kidding, how can you say there were no woke agendas in 2007? and clearly in the books the sexuality of dumbledore seems irrelevant.

there were no woke agendas. Same-sex marriages were legalised in 2014 and 2015 in most contemporary western countries.
Now coming to the books, the sexuality of Dumbledore was irrelevant but each character had their own storyline.
As a reader of the books I can think of multiple points which vaguely pointed towards his sexuality

Dumbledore is never mentioned in context with a woman. He’s a bachelor without anyone mentioning any kind of history with a woman. While this wasn't indicative of his sexuality, it does provide some subtext.

Dumbledore wears highly coloured and contrasting clothes. Again, in the UK, there is a specific association of flamboyance with being gay.

The most telling indication of his sexuality was their relationship with Grindelwald in the Deathly Hallows book

There was no protest or activism regarding the sexuality of the characters during this time.JK Rowling herself had self-conceptualised that Dumbledore was ought to be gay after she published the book in 2007. Keep in mind that the book was drafted and conceptualised much earlier than that.

Never listen to any game critics.
They are usually paid off

this is how I know its a good game, ignoring woke fucks, most of streamers who played elden ring, god of war, dark souls are now enjoying playing hogwarts legacy. and I can guarantee there is no overlap between that crowd and the crowd that believes or writes these reviews.

Irrespective of what JK Rowling said,u have to review the game objectively. And the person who wrote that review clearly had pre conceived notions against it which automatically removes any credibility their review might have

She is openly against trans people and donates to anti trans "charities", also some people said that she claimed all revenue from Hogwarts Legacy would go to anti trans charities but I've not checked. Also there are claims of antisemitism due to how the goblins are portrayed, but shes never openly said anything about that so unproven.

Any review that starts with "Yikes, y'all" should be immediately discredited. From what I read it just feels like the incoherent ramblings of a millennial who grew up loving Harry Potter, found out JKR is a piece of shit, now is angry that they can no longer enjoy what they used to love.

I don't understand why would she include those bits about JK Rowling and her personal dislike. She's there to do journalism right. Call the game mid or wtv I couldn't care less but that's not a well written article at all. It starts with fucking yikes yall

sounds like she’s correlating her opinions of J.K. Rowling onto the game, then started repeating that the game felt “lifeless” for the rest of the article, repeating her reasons for thinking this over and over throughout the article. 0/10 review, my 9 year old sister could’ve done better
