Jesus, this is why I don’t visit Kotaku much anymore. Worry more about video game news and less about what pronoun you are called. Or we will all be calling you jobless soon. Cause this site sucks right now. 

Who cares what your gender is. How about “Human that has a bad take”. I think just want attention.

It should be here as well. Not fair for her to yell at everyone for not knowing her pronouns. She seems more concerned for that than her writing.

That’s deflection and you know it. You did a crappy job reporting this news and you are being rightly called out. Don’t hide behind your pronouns, especially if they aren’t in your bio for the site.

Maybe next to your name you should put your gender so people know instead of getting mad that someone mis-gendered you. Clearly they didn’t know. Your comment adds nothing to this discussion and sound more like a little bitch.

it shouldnt be expected for the commenter to have to do homework to reply to a news piece while addressing the report, in a way by reacting the way they did, the commentator point about sisi seems all the more legit. Instead of addressing any of the issues they made it into a thing about being misgendered and changed…

I’m not tracking down any pronouns on fucking Twitter. If they don’t make them accessible on the site they are putting out “content” then its not on the reader.

Oh fuck off, theres no way they knew what your gender was. 

Apologies for misgendering you. Can you let me know your preferred pronouns? They’re not easily accessible anywhere on this site, not even in your introductory article: https://kotaku.com/i-m-still-on-my-bs-but-now-i-get-healthcare-1847549762

Is there a reason why he or she should already know your gender? And does it have any relevance to whatever was commented if it was incorrect?

Probably close to none.

But name-calling, doxxing, and death threats are bullying.

I didn’t buy the game, but not buying the game isn’t going to do anything to stop legislation. You shouldn’t justify harassment, justifying harassment is what leads to people born into different situations creating legislation that acts to restrict the bodily autonomy of individuals.  

I have made the decision to separate art from the artist.  I grew up with Harry Potter.  The books meant a lot to me as the first three volumes were gifts from my grandparents.  The world of Hogwarts is so much more than JK Rowling.  She might make a penny from my purchase of the game, but dozens of other people put…

It wasn’t a false flag. This is the same behavior that elements of the Trans community have been engaging in constantly for at least a decade by now. And Rowling has been one of their favorite targets. This was entirely consistent with how they’ve behaved in smaller spaces for ages, the difference was that when HL got…

Playing the game has nothing to do with it and attacking people over it is not winning anything at all. I guarantee mose of the people doing this have added nothing to the fight for trans rights. I vote for it, pay into it, and am myself gender fluid and was unsure of being trans and I even try to help the community…

Honestly the game has gay couple has a trans actor playing a trans character, is more racially diverse than og harry potter for cast, and main character is refered to as they them. You can be even trans. At this point I think Kotaku and the like are actually losing at this. Yes JK is a bitch but this game is the most…

I’m not sure honestly, I do feel like most of it has been blown out of proportion. On the other hand though, I have seen people I know say things along the line of ‘if you even think of buying this game, you are not my friend, you are not an ally’ which I would also argue is blowing all of this out of proportion. Its…

It’s a single player game, so whoever was going to play it has done so and moved on. Pretty easy to understand.

But, if she retired because of the Hogwarts Legacy controversy, trans people and trans allies ARE the problem here. It’s a video game. Yes if people buy it it makes JK Rowling richer and she’s a horrible person. But, she’s already got more money than she will ever need. Harry Potter is important to many people and for…
