Someone came to me, as a cisgender white guy that I know but I'm pretty sure never reads here yet (if he does later, oh well, I'll deal), and started a conversation with me about Hogwarts Legacy and the issues he wasn't quite aware of yet. I ended up talking with him for at least an hour. Explaining the issues with J.K. Rowling's extreme trans-phobia and how far that went, the anti-Semitism within it as best I could (that I noticed was a bit trickier to find good sources explaining the tropes, but not impossible) and the hiring of a gamer gate defender earlier in the games development.
I didn't quite bring myself to say "Yes I'll be angry to see you playing, streaming or talking about this game due to all that," but there's the thing: coming to me, a trans person who does have to deal with the consequences of trans-phobic rhetoric that ultimately encourages violence and leaves me afraid of my next door neighbors so much as suspecting I may be trans (where I live is one of the most strongly GOP leaning areas in the US), with 'hey do I really have to care about this?' puts a sort of pressure on me. An implication that my tacit approval is desired, rather than my entirely honest feelings. Because there's always going to be this sense in the back of my mind that one 'wrong' word could lead to another blow up, another fight, another time when it's easier to dismiss me as being 'wrong' for being angry. Leading to experiencing just a little bit more social isolation for speaking up for myself. A pressure to be 'one of the good ones', and not the 'angry ones' who get villainized for speaking up.
And, I do actually hate that. That feeling of expectation to be 'civil', and not 'tell people what to do'.
So, to heck with it. This is me saying if I see you promoting stuff associated with J.K. Queen TERF Rowling, I am going to ask myself if you care if I live or die. I am going to judge you for your choices. And I am going to be angry at you for them.
Because at the end of the day, I just want to be able to walk out my front door without any fear of who might notice that I'm a trans woman.
Deal.
