I mean fuck Rowling and the creators of Legacy but this is dumb as hell. I do not get people who go out of their way to hate watch things, I barely have time to engage with content I enjoy let alone sit in a Twitch stream just to harass people. I swear to god the uproar over the game has done more to boost sales than the actual marketing.

Very true.

However, she was paid for the license to make this game well before she outted herself on Twitter and doesn't make money if it sells well or fails. The only people who have a financial state in the game are the designers, developers, and team at the game company. And their families.

By trying to hurt Rowling by boycotting this game you're doing literally nothing to her and just hurting innocent people, who often explicitly do not share or support her views.

I have a feeling it took data from the time Jerry Seinfeld made a transphobic joke stemming from something Steven Colbert said about a car.

Jerry Seinfeld is not a fan of being censored and has been in hot water for poorly executed jokes of poor taste, specifically around trans people.

Art imitates life.

The people who are in control of the media and the nation consist of every group that you can no longer make a joke about and their allies. Just ask Dave Chappelle.

If you can’t make a joke about a group without suffering negative consequences, then they are in control and you are being controlled.
