[Link 1] Article boiling down to JK having an opinion and 5000 buzzwords and off-topic filler (modern journalism)
[Link 2] 1 Dev makes entire team antisemetic? A developer has different opinions than us, how dare he. The only reason WB did anything is because how dangerous the hate-mob can be with threats an PR. Good on WB for not caring about devs opinions when hiring and only how good they can code (AKA their jobs):
> "I'm happy to say that, even though I disclosed my YouTube channel to WB Games, it didn't appear to be an issue for them. Not that they endorse anything that I've said, of course, but at least they seem more concerned with making good games than with pushing some kind of a social justice agenda, so there is hope."
[Link 3] This is reaching so hard. Terminally online people trying to make up an insane meaning for a meaningless item in a video game.
> I suggest reading a little bit about the subject.
Listen, our side has a gigantic blind-spot when it comes to political opinions. We're often college-educated, we hang around with similarly educated people, and we tend to be relatively successful in life, and attributing that to our smarts and education.
So when it comes to politics, we're certain that our choices, our stances, are the smart ones, the educated opinion. And as soon as we encounter a person who doesn't share our opinion, we assume it's because they're not as smart, not as educated as us. They're simply ignorant of the facts around the issue, and if they just had all the facts, they would come around to our enlightened point of view as well.
So, in our magnanimous benevolence, we offer to educate the other person. Here, read this article, check this link, watch this talk. Now, you see? Now you understand, right?
That other people might come to different conclusions, because they have a different world-view, or principles, or because they don't share our vision, it's inconceivable to us. But we're the smart ones. We're the educated ones! If people don't agree, it simply means they're not educated enough, so we must educate them harder, or they're just un-educatable! They're bigots! Neanderthals! Cavemen!
Yes, that is it. We're smart. They're ignorant. Aaahhh, all is right with the world again.
Just take the L on this one. It's a good game. JKR's views on trans people are extremely mainstream. Go fight some actual transphobes instead of this lazy slacktivism, harassing streamers online or spoiling the game for other happy gamers.

When people throw around scare terms like 'alt-right' it's very hard to take them serious.
