What’s that?
Terf stands for "Trans exclusionary Radical feminist", which is a type of feminist that pushes for women's rights, but doesn't support transgender rights, and thinks MtF transgender people don't count as women.
A lot of people have boycotted Hogwarts legacy because of her political views. Personally, I think it's a bit extreme to boycott a great game made by a studio and developers that have nothing to do with her views just because she gets royalties on it, but that's a matter of personal opinion
Are you sure the developers have nothing to do with it?
Even if they don't, buying this game still goes in to lining JKRs pockets, something she has explicitly considered as validation of her beliefs.
The makers of the movies, and the publishers of the books also probably didn't all have anti-trans views, but they don't have to for JKR to use them to cause harm.
I get it, the devs of a good game don't deserve to be attached to her, but you've got to draw the line somewhere and this is where I've chosen to draw mine.
Oh, 100%. I was just pointing out that the whole project was shitty, not just JKR. But JKR is 100% shitty.
