🐱 Brianna Wu Joins Calls For ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Boycott, Claims Whether You Join Boycott Is A “Character Test” - Hogwarts Legacy is also GamerGate, accoring to Brianna Wu's common logics

Bounding Into Comics - Brianna Wu Joins Calls For ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Boycott, Claims Whether You Join Boycott Is A “Character Test”​

By Ryan Pearson
January 23rd, 2023

Former Gamergate personality Brianna Wu joined calls to boycott Hogwarts Legacy and claimed whether or not you participated in the boycott was a “character test.”

The game developer and failed political candidate issued her own call to boycott the game, tweeting earlier this month, “My position on Hogwarts Legacy is clear. I’m boycotting it. I think if you care about trans people you should too.”

Wu then added, “But, in what should not be a surprise to anyone, most gamers don’t care about trans dignity enough to sacrifice for them. By all accounts, it will sell very well.”



Wu then tweeted, “This outcome shouldn’t surprise me. Gamers care even less about trans dignity than they did about the women who make games having a sexual harassment-free workplace. But it is deeply saddening to see.”

In another tweet she wrote, “If the people who buy games expected more of the industry and of themselves we would solve a lot of problems. Less sexual misconduct, less open discrimination, fewer predatory practices with microtransactions. But we expect nothing, and receive nothing in return.”




Next, Wu claimed that whether or not you joined in on the boycott it was “a character test.”

“Hogwarts Legacy isn’t a game. It’s a character test,” Wu tweeted. “And a lot of people are about fail it.” (Archive)



The absolutist comment drew plenty of mockery with Huff4Congress responding, “Exactly! If you don’t buy Hogwarts Legacy, swayed by absurd concerns that Harry Potter’s beloved creator has supposedly committed some societal sin by standing against the rank misogyny of modern ‘transgender’ insanity, you’re a spineless coward without much character at all.”



However, artist, teacher, and game designer Benjamin Sawyer attempted to rationalize with Wu. “Where do we land on the topic of the franchise existing beyond its creator and this game being the product of a generation of creators eager for people to play their game despite of Rowling? Are we punishing the wrong people by boycotting the game?”

Wu replied, but refused to answer. “The amount of rationalizations from otherwise intelligent people has been extremely disappointing,” Wu bemoaned, along with a rolling eyes emoji. (Archive)



“I was asking questions because I wanted to have a conversation,” Sawyer replied. “I have legitimate questions. Thanks for the eye roll though. Makes me feel real great.”

The snipe had little effect on Wu, who parroted back, “I cannot have a conversation with every single dude on Twitter trying to rationalize this. Read the comments. There are hundreds of you.” (Archive)



YouTube commentator and science fiction author Jon Del Arroz weighed in on Wu’s comments. He admitted Sawyer had a point about developers getting hurt more than Rowling, mocked Wu and the boycott as ridiculous, but expected it to escalate closer to launch.

“They [SJWs] don’t ever back down, they just keep going with these sorts of narratives all the time,” Del Arroz warned. Yet, he also noted that others had been inspired to support Hogworts Legacy purely to spite those boycotting it, or because the boycott brought the game to their attention.

Attempts to boycott Hogwarts Legacy have been ongoing, and seemingly continue to fail. Due to Rowling’s support of sex being real and rejection of the denial of the female identity have resulted in pro-transgender activists attempting to “cancel” her and encourage boycotts of her work. This includes adaptions of Harry Potter such as Hogwarts Legacy.

Amid claims of Goblins being antisemitic caricatures, lies that the game’s plot is about preventing a rebellion by an oppressed group, spamming Steam with false user tags, and claiming the game’s voice actors are anti-transgender — Hogwarts Legacy looks to be one of the first big games of 2023.

It’s the fourth global best seller on Steam as of this time of writing, just over two weeks away from its February 10th launch.



Wu previously called for a boycott at the beginning of January citing a claim that Rowling’s Pottermore digital publisher saw profits drop 40% in 2022 compared to 2021.

She tweeted, “F*** around and find out. This is why it’s really important for decent people to boycott Hogwarts Legacy.”

“I have a lot of friends in games media, but I will be cutting ties to anyone who promotes this,” Wu added.

Go away John, nobody gives a fuck about what you have to say anymore.

“My position on Hogwarts Legacy is clear. I’m boycotting it. I think if you care about trans people you should too.”

Game dev wannabe Troon tries to inject Loony Troon rights are human rights into a video game for children.

 

[KiwiFuzz]

Everyone who buys the game gets sorted into Slytherin?

 

[JustWant2PlayVidya]

Do you think these hyper aggro ogres stomping about demanding this game gets memory holed have even considered that JKRs input is minimal at best and hundreds of people probably worked years on this game, many of which will be danger haired "allies" to their cause.

Nope, the self centred mindset couldn't possibly consider that so instead they'll get on twitter and post angry threats like big baz down the pub after 12 Stellas because that's totally what true and honest womyn do

"I think if you care about trans people you should too.”

What about if we don't care about trans people, but don't buy this particular game, John? Could you recommend us some first-person shooters that would also indicate rampant transphobia, John? Please offer some consumerist advice on those that think that transpeople are treacherous, parasitic, self-important freaks but don't support Warner Bros' monetisation practices, John.

 

[Cyclonus]

Oh please let this turn into gamergate 2.0. Oh please.

 

[Elwood P. Dowd]

I think the most amusing thing is the way the Devs have bent over -- and I don't mean backwards -- to accomodate flaccid tranny dick and virtually every other left wing talking point you'd care to mention. IIRC you can even select to play as a troon. But there's no appeasing this mob. If you can call a few people screeching on Twitter a mob, I guess.

Kind of pity there's no DLC for a, I dunno, Slytherin Master Race play through or something. Complete with magic system based on Nordic runes and a soundtrack by Varg Vikernes.

I can't help but be reminded of John Byrne's The Sensational She-Hulk where Doctor Bong talks about how horrible television is and to save his kids he remade television shows to fit with his worldview only for She-Hulk to tell him that if it ever occurred to him to turn off the television as that would have been easier. That is the same with trannies in regards to Hogwarts Legacy. All they had to do was not talk about the game, ignore it and go on Steam and tell Steam that they weren't interested in the game so it doesn't show up for them. But no! Trannies like always wanted reality to conform to their delusions. They wanted to cancel this game so it would never release and if that didn't work cancel and deplatform anybody that worked on this game or streams it. If they ignored it the game wouldn't have been as successful as it has which goes to show how universally hated and reviled trannies are and I hope other companies are taking notes.

They can't "ignore it" because A. Rowlings has fuck you money meaning she'll never canceled, especially since her Potterverse stuff is one of the few franchises that is keeping Warner-Discovery afloat financially and B. They consider Harry Potter "THEIRS" and can't stand the fact that they have no way of bullying Rowlings to force her to bend the knee.

If these fucks had their way, Warner-Discovery would fuck Rowlings over with no lube and steal the franchise from her via whatever corrupt means to steal her live's work so he can't do any further Potter stuff NOR see a dime in royalties, complete with unpersoning/banning the original Radcliffe HP films and remaking them as SJW anti-life films or TV show, which Rowlings won't see a dime from.

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

These people still can't let gamergate go.

The YouTubers are talking about how this might kick off GG 2.0, and they might be right. It shows a massive disconnect between the lying video game press and the public, and those outlets are desperate for attention amid layoffs. Some of the articles are trying not to tell normies they are evil for wanting to buy the game, but as it gets closer to release they will get trolled harder and become more unhinged. I hope we see some pro-piracy perspectives, targeting of advertisers again, and Kotaku, Polygon, et al. becoming staffed by skeleton crews.

How dare you stand where he stood!

It's the Cat Signal and we're in between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

So what you're saying is I can create a troon character and constantly 41% myself in game? Do I get bonus points if I stream it?

Wu used to dodge most tranny questions and wanted to be seen as a woman first, transgender not-at-all, it's surprising to see this freudian slip:

Wu then tweeted, “This outcome shouldn’t surprise me. Gamers care even less about trans dignity than they did about the women who make games having a sexual harassment-free workplace. But it is deeply saddening to see.”

The response to Sawyer is an absolute L as well:

He's verified(which used to mean something, but it's still worth mousing over to see follower count/relevance in the preview) and has a ton of engagement, so he's obviously someone worth interacting with. He disagreed but weakly. And yet you claim he's a dumb dudebro not worth responding to, even though you had the time to respond, with a post saying you don't have time to respond. Never change, you chink-pegging scumbag.

Sawyer was also a bitchboi, what a passive-aggressive, limp-dicked tweet AND response.

As an aside, it's interesting that all these people are still trying to control games, the companies that make them, and the consumers themselves. And failing publicly & miserably.

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

You will never be a real wizard. You have no wand, you have no mana, you have no spells. You are a LARPing muggle twisted by nostalgia and schizophrenia into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.

Sorcerers are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed magic users of all types to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even muggles who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a mages. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk thaumaturgist home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected mundane nature.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be OK, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a muggle is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably muggle.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

At this point, I want to buy two fucking copies of this game. The sheer amount of salt from the trannys is going to kill via heart disease.

I can't wait for the reviews to start rolling out. If this turns out to be an unironic success, the first big "must buy" of 2023... oh, I cannot wait.

Oh boy it’d be freaking hilarious.

 

[D.Angus]

Go play with your "Moon Rocks" John, you're still not relevant anymore.

 

[Hijo de Dang Woodchucks!]

John, you are a man in a dress and 'trans dignity' is an oxymoron.

I've had less disturbing nightmares, what the fuck.

There's a name I have happily not heard in a good long while.
He sounds as deranged as ever too.

The closest thing people like Flynt can come to making conversation is screeching at you, your family, and your employer until you do what they want.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

I'm definitely buying this. I don't care if I don't even play it.

 

[Otterly]

A character test? The word you’re looking for, Brianna, is ‘compliance’ not character.

 

[Zirnwyb]

Every time these retards screech about the game, it makes me even more excited to play it. I said I wouldn't pre-order it but I did anyway because, fuck it, I was gonna buy it anyway so why not buy now so I can play early? I'm glad I fail this so called "character test" because I despise trannies. Cope, seethe, and dilate, John Walker Flynt.

That is it, really.

In their worldview, when she said Dumbledore was gay or whatever as a cheap virtue signal years back? She was signing the Faustian contract that her entire Potter canon was now property of the LGBTQWTF movement under penalty of revocation of her very mortal soul.

And now that she's decided to not bend the knee to insane troons? They're coming for that soul. Or at least behaving like they can..... and Faust is saying "Uh, guys, I can't enforce this contract, she didn't sign it, you just forged her name on it" to which the Troony Toons can only REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! that it doesn't matter "It's her name! Now! SMITE HER!"

 

[Agamemnon Busmalis]

I think if you care about trans people you should too.

Nope, I only care when something funny happens like they rope themselves or suffer terrible castration side effects.

Gamers care even less about trans dignity than they did about the women who make games having a sexual harassment-free workplace.

For sure, I wouldn't care if it was programmed by Hitler himself if it's a solid game.

But, in what should not be a surprise to anyone, most gamers don’t care about trans dignity enough to sacrifice for them.

Well, no shit Sherlock. Why the fuck would I ever do that?
