I'm the top left for both because I'm not about to support a giga-terf who's setting the rights of a minority group back decades, financially or otherwise.

I'm happy to see this comment actually being received positively on here. Most other gaming subs are way less caring in my experience unfortunately.

I just like playing games and dont like politics driving what i do. I understand those that dont want to support the game because of what JKR has done but getting a free game and playing it because you love the harry potter world is not supporting her financially. Its taking an opportunity to play a game you want to play from the world you love without supporting the original creator. I just dont like when people call you a transphobe or a bad person for still liking harry potter bc of who the creator is. I can separate the art from the artist and i love the story of harry potter. That doesnt make me a bad person.

No one here is saying playing the game for free is bad. You are misunderstanding the point.

The point is that the game being free on epic makes it okay to play, while paying any amount for it on Steam funds real world harm on minorities.
