If you buy Hogwarts Legacy, you are doing three significant things This statement might seem like quite a stretch at first glance, but for the sake of clarity, let’s break it down. If you purchase this game – if you praise its qualities and encourage others to ‘support the developers’ or ‘treat yourself to a guilty pleasure’ – you are making a choice that will harm the transgender community, whether you want to admit it or not. Hogwarts Legacy cannot and should not be judged solely on its own merits, because the end result of supporting this game financially and socially isn’t simply a matter of how much you’ll enjoy it, or how nostalgic it might be to experience the world of Harry Potter. I feel a moral imperative to oppose Hogwarts Legacy. I want to make it clear to you right now that as a transgender individual, I have no interest in that kind of ‘fairness’ or objectivity when it comes to Hogwarts Legacy.

What a privilege – to spend a few dollars and play a game in one of the formative worlds of my childhood, choosing not to think about where that money goes. To turn away from the discourse, ignore context and consequence and just explore something I used to love. It would be easier to be fair, believe me. To acknowledge that they aren’t to blame, and to just enjoy a franchise that once held such important meaning to me. To look at the strides the developers have made to offer inclusivity, and distance themselves from hatred. To judge Hogwarts Legacy by its merits alone. An objective stance would be only fair, don’t you think? Perhaps even moreso when that creation takes steps to distance itself from those now-tainted roots, and offers support to the people who were wronged.

If something is good, we should be able to enjoy and endorse it, even if we acknowledge the faults of its progenitor. Why should a bad game be praised, just because it comes from a normally brilliant creator? Why should a good one be vilified, just because the mind that inspired it is ignorant and hateful? To judge a creation purely on its own merits is often lauded as a fair and positive method of review.
