Who does not love playing games? We all do right, but recently there has been a lot of buzzing news around a major game that is gaining a lot of controversies today. Yes! You heard it right, the Hogwarts Legacy controversy, which is associated with the controversial queen JK Rowlings, that’s the major reason why the game is constantly getting a lot of hatred from the fans. Some of them even decided to ban it or not play it.
This article, therefore, will give you a brief detail regarding all the controversy surrounding Hogwarts Legacy and all the people involved in it, plus what are the statements that fans have highlighted or claimed over supporting or not supporting the game.
Hogwarts Legacy, for those of you who do not know, is a game that is based on the 1890s and is set in the magical schools and follows all the magical adventures before the event of Harry Potter books.
The game follows a wizardly theme, and the game thus focuses on a student who is in their fifth year at Hogwarts school and undercovers a dangerous journey of the wizarding world, and therefore as a result, you as a player get a chance to take control of the life of the fifth year student.
The biggest and the best thing about this game is that you as a player, get the chance to do freely what you want; you can interact, indulge in the world of crazy wizardly experiences, etc.
Why is Hogwarts Legacy Controversy gaining momentum?
Well, till now, the Hogwarts Legacy has been critically taken by audiences who are associating the game with JK Rowling’s controversial statements made by the transgender community. And fans have thus urged Harry Potter fans to boycott the game, with one and only reason that is JK Rowling, the fact that in the past she has created a lot of controversy with her views over the trans community.
She is openly seen on Twitter and on social media sites mocking or making fun of the community, which is hugely hated by the people. That is one of the reasons why her newly inspired Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy is gaining momentum badly and is in the surge of a huge controversy looking at the number of times she had made controversial and criticizing statements for the trans community.
In December, she was even against the Scottish government when they released the plan to make it easier for people to change their gender. She called it the biggest assault in the history of women’s rights.
Therefore, it looks like she does not understand the meaning of what is gender and sex, and that’s why every time when something trans news is there or anything related to the trans community comes, she is seen criticizing it or making controversial remarks about it.
Who had Created Hogwarts Legacy?
The creators behind the game Hogwarts Legacy is not JK Rowling. It is the team of Warner Bros. Avalanche Softwares. However, Rowling was closely connected at the same time since they collaborated with her team for the game.
The game so far is perfect, and it’s good for gamers who directly play visual, interactive games since it gives the opportunity to them to play, have fun, interact, etc.
But since the name JK Rowling is now associated with the game, it looks like this Warner Bros. project might be on the downside since people are criticizing and encouraging everyone not to play it as a reason to show the hatred they have for Rowling.
Apart from that again, there are some who are playing it, making fun of it. They do not care what the inside things are, what the controversy surrounds with it, they want to make and have fun, and thus they are on the way to enjoy it.
Does JK Rowling Support The Trans Community?
JK Rowling as stated earlier is a controversy queen; she is always in the news for making some bad, hurtful, and controversial statements about the trans community. Her fan-following with these things that she has done on Twitter and social media accounts commenting and criticizing trans people has degraded over the few years.
One or another day, she is seen making some hurtful comments. On the screens, she states and confirms that she supports everyone, but again in the background, on social media, she is seen doing the opposite. She is thus seen as one of the most manipulative ladies in the industry.
