Ceci n'est pas support.
For clarity - I’m not necessarily saying playing Wizard Game makes you a bad person - but it’s a choice has consequences. If you’re making that choice, be mature enough to accept that – you can’t have it both ways.

Hogwarts Legacy is a 2023 action role-playing game developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games under its Portkey Games label. The game is set in the Wizarding World universe, based on the Harry Potter novels, and was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S in 2023. The game's racially insensitive depiction of goblins and J.K. Rowling's transphobia have led many to criticise Hogwarts Legacy and those choosing to play it.
