there was a moderator here who was fired for some nonsense related to harry potter spoilers but i cant remember if its because he posted spoilers everywhere or if he went way overboard with punishing people for posting spoilers

I read the series as they came out. Likable but mediocre. Now they sit on the bookshelf in the bedroom, and if I have trouble falling asleep I'll grab one to read and be asleep in 10 minutes.

I have to put in significant mental effort to not think less of Harry Potter fans. I am not capable of that much mental effort.

Malcolm Excellent posted:H.P. Lovecraft was a racist, but I'm still a fan of re-animater. J.K. Rowling is a transphobe, but I'm still a fan of frozen butter beer at universal studios Lovecraft largely recanted his views on his deathbed, or at least in his lengthy, rambling letters to his writing friends, sent from his deathbed. He was strongly anti-Nazi, recognized that his past views essentially aligned with them, and called his younger self sheltered and ignorant. Mind, he firmly believed that Nazis would never, ever gain a foothold in the US, so he was still pretty sheltered. And he died at 46, so Rowling's long past the same window and is definitely worse.

I read the first Harry Potter in middle school and I bounced right off of it. Fortunately Morrowind came out a while after that so my wizarding phase was mostly stealing an egg and promptly levitating 10 feet in the air to avoid the cops. The 36 Lessons of Vivec made for good reading too.

The first three books were ok for a kid... Then it started to go grimdark and downhill and when they got into doing wizard terrorism in the world of jumping chocolate frogs, I checked out. that was book 5 I believe?

Also I think the moment I fully realised the politics were wack was when all the students from the Bulgarian school were pretty much illiterate ogres who only communicated in grunts.

It would matter more if the game looked halfway decent. There are like 5 enemies total in the game; wolves, bad wizards, goblins, spiders, and zombie things. The open world is mostly pointless, and gets progressively more pointless the farther you get from Hogfarts. Like the literal bottom half of the world map has almost nothing going on in it. The caves and dungeons rival Oblivion in being cookie cutter mazes with nothing interesting at all in them. Oh poo poo, you found a new dungeon! And it's 20 feet long! And at the end you get.. a new hat that makes you look like a child predator. The spell system had some thought put into it, but it doesn't matter much when combat is just fighting waves of enemies that all have about 2 attacks each. The end battle is a complete slog, saw that on a stream tonight. Avada Kedavra is in there, but with a long cooldown, so maybe you can get a trainer and turn off cooldowns or something so you can just run around one-shotting everything like Voldemort Jr.

I don't think that the average person who buys and plays the game is making a reprehensible moral choice (unless they're buying the game on purpose as a statement against "woke culture" or something), but I do think there's more reasons not to buy the game than there are reasons to buy the game and you probably shouldn't. It's like shopping on Amazon. Every single purchase you make at Amazon makes the world a little bit worse, you should avoid shopping on Amazon, but you're not Hitler if you do shop there.

I heard Harry Potter isn't even in this game, you play as his roommate or grandpa or something. Sounds like that would piss a lot of people off so I understand the controversy.

It's a perfect example of how stupid and politicized everything must be nowadays. The game looks boring, JK Rowling is a huge piece of poo poo. But the average person is just saying "I want to play the Harry Potter game" without any more thought beyond that. I have no problem with that, just like I don't give a poo poo if you go to Universal Studios and ride the Harry Potter log flume or whatever. But it's pretty funny to see these right-wing idiots talking about how great the game about magical children is just because the creator of the franchise is a transphobe.

the more important question is whether the wizards should be allowed to say the c word are they part of commonwealth culture or is the wizarding world its own distinct thing?

Wired is right. This game literally looks like a 1/10 game. Now how it got to be one of the top viewed games on Steam of all time is depressing.

it's kinda cool how easy it is to grift you just say "the nazis were right" then release a half-baked game. 2/3rds of the internet will boycott it and the other third will buy it no matter how bad it is to prove a point that third will put the kids that disown you through college
