Like yes, jk rowling is a terf in real life, but strixtly related to the game but the real elephant in the room is the race of big eared, short and hairy hooked nosed goblins who apparantly run all the wizard banks because they love money. Apparantly this wasnt problematic at all to include verbatim in the game.

Part of the plot of the game literally revolves around blood libel, and some of the lore references a "goblin uprising" in 1612 that suspiciously lines up with a loving pogrom that happened the same year.

There's no way to play this game that isn't lovely, unless you have a small kid in your life you want to make happy. Neckbeards need to let go of Nostalgia Wizard at some point.

You can :filez: the game and play it with a critical eye, similar to how film students are expected to watch poo poo like The Triumph Of The Will at some point.

Not saying that this game is anywhere near as influential, but still

I thought that pogram was in 1614?

1612 was the year of the Pendle witch trials in England.

I tried to read the harry potter books because of all the 2016 election memes but they were really boring so I gave up half way through book 4. I did play the lego video games though which is the superior adaption.

you can pick just about any year between like 1000 and 1800 and find a pogrom that happened that year or close to it. (and there are many that have happened since then too)

that said, while the date is a stretch, the whole thing with hook-nosed "goblin bankers" in the movies etc is a much more glaring dog whistle, and the portrayal of jews as "goblins" goes back well before rowling
