This is my final statement on the matter โ you may disagree, hate me, block me; but I stand by this. I'm a grown woman who won't tolerate bullies โ and neither should you.
"To anyone harassing streamers playing Hogwarts Legacy โ if spreading hate is the choice you make, what makes you any better than JK? ๐ง" This take has gotten me even more hate than I imagined could exist within our LGBTQ+ community.
Playing Hogwarts Legacy does NOT make you transphobic or even a JK Rowling fan โ it makes you a magic or Harry Potter / Hogwarts fan. Or just a gamer. โจ๏ธ๐ฎโจ๏ธ
Through all of the hate I've had thrown into my face over the past 24+ hours in wake of me taking a stance against the internet bullies harrassing streamers over playing *that wizard game*, the attacks made specifically triggering my post-rape body dysmorphia again โ AKA why I needed Hogwarts as an escape in the first place โ are the most appalling. Furthermore, I find it ironic that many of these individuals are going directly for the jugular of my self image - tearing down someone based on their looks or body type, while supposedly struggling themselves with the adverse affects of body dysmorphia in the past as part of the Trans community.ย I have NEVER commented on a Trans person's physical appearance unless it was a compliment given to boost them & lift them up. Even if you have a differing opinion, that doesn't warrant you intentionally try to cause harm to others or incite hateful discourse โ no justification exists for this behavior.
You become no better than the oppressors.
These attacks on my looks, body, physical appearance, etc. are all inherently counter-productive to the rhetoric normally touted by these same individuals. ALL of us in the LGBTQ+ community already experience so much bigotry and hatred - why would we choose to inflict these same atrocities against one another? I've only had love for ALL people โ and will continue to do so, even if my safe space has been violated by the inflammatory & gaslighting statements made against me and my character.
If you want to hate me, hate me โ but I do ask that individuals on all sides refrain from the harmful tactics I have experienced over the past 2 days.
I ask that you respect one another.
Moreover, since this has been twisted & tainted by some of my harrassers, let me provide some clarification. The "bigots" I refer to are the crusaders trying to shove their opinions on the game & ethics pertaining to capitalism down other peoples' throats. This is what we don't want โ or our freedoms of independent thought, identity & sexualily are again threatened even more so.
I stand by this โ consuming a product created by the hands & minds of 100s of people does not mean you share the bigoted views held of one of the creators โ enjoy the magical escape if you want. ๐๐๐ฉต
Respect people's opinions to either play or boycott the game.
Spreading hate via harassment, shaming streamers, & bullying your own opinions upon others is not the way to go.
Your words have impact โ use them wisely. You have the power to make a difference in a positive way โ don't be like the bullies & harrassers we oppose.
