Even though Warner claims that known transphobe JK Rowling was not involved with the Hogwarts Legacy game, she will profit.
It has become clear that JK Rowling, the once beloved author of the Harry Potter series, is a transphobe.
She has a massive platform that she uses to continuously broadcast hate against transgender people, influencing people to become bigots just like her.
What used to be discreet transphobia is now overt: her new book is about a man that "cross-dresses" to murder women.
Recently, it was announced that Portkey Games, a company that belongs to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, will release a game called Hogwarts Legacy.
In an effort to distance themselves from Rowling, Warner claims she had no involvement with the game. But, as with any product that uses Harry Potter, she will profit.
Warner is a company and companies aim to profit, that's clear. But why not do the right thing and make up for the hate, violence and transphobia JK Rowling preaches? If they must profit from hate, they should at least try to balance the scales a little bit.
Warner should match however much JK Rowling will make from Hogwarts Legacy in donations to support groups and organizations that work hard to defend the rights of transgender people in different parts of the world.
