      The first two yes, but is she actually a fascist? Outside of her being a terf I think the rest of her political views are supposed to be pretty left leaning and anti-authoritarian.

      Regardless I think enough other people were more directly involved in this game that people should be free to play it guilt free if they want to.

        A lot of people worked on this yes… But she did directly state that the money she makes from the game will go to transphobic causes so…

        Yes you can play it as long as you don’t advertise it or give it any money

          Honestly just let it die like the rest of the actual cast of the movies.

          There are plenty of other great things to do with your time.

        Identifying an out-group by an immutable attribute of their person, and then railing against them as inherently inferior is fascist behaviour.

          Rowling is some white trash but it seems everything is fascist nowadays this word lost its meaning altogether

          fascist fascist nazi… doesn’t bring anything to mind anymore. Could be a brand of orange juice at this point or some children snacks

          Looks like it was already a problem in 1944 as Orwell writes:

          It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley’s broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

          Honestly it is unfortunate that most internet commenters are nearly illiterate and aren’t able to come up with more precise adjectives
