This is getting out of hand

[IceBorg]

the newest article i read says you shouldn't buy the game because of the fact it has no morality system means its bad because you cant be held responsible or the things you do. it talks about how its influenced by jk Rowling and the game is racist because you can go against goblins who represent jews (sounds to me he is the bigot). i don't know why i keep reading these articles, i must hate myself

[Tatertot]

It's just train wreck syndrome. You see articles like these and it's hard to look away.

Alright I really must ask can we not simply enjoy games these day ? Must now any "reporter" tell us their sh*t ? That Goblin represents Jews really ? Because of their love of money and rare treasures ? Wow that dude is stupid...

It's not about the look of the goblins for these people. It's about how these goblins are displayed. Greedy, Banker, Big Nose.....

But anyway. These ''Woke White Knights'' will find everytime something to hate the game.

Cite a source? Maybe get off Truth Social.

J.K Rowling is a woman.

[Synergizer]

anyone who equated a video game character to a group of people when it is very clear to everyone else that that is not that case, that is what is considered as a strawman argument, pulling out word from thin air to get peoples attention, dont listen to them and move on with your day
also just because its an "article" doesnt mean its based in fact, we live in a world now where people will write hate articles just to get people to hate read it because they make money regardless of what they post, as long as people view it, they win

Welcome to the current generation of click-bait sensationalism.

Jon Stewart pointed this out as a huge joke, he thought that it was so ridiculous that no one would take it seriously and know instantly it was a joke. (he is Jewish himself for for those who do not know of him).
Below is what Jon said after the event - taken from a British news paper for my own ease:

“This morning I wake up, it’s trending on Twitter, and here’s the headline … ‘Jon Stewart accuses JK Rowling of antisemitism.’”
He added: “So let me just say this super clearly, as clearly as I can.
“Hello, my name is Jon Stewart. I do not think JK Rowling is antisemitic.
“I do not think the Harry Potter movies are antisemitic.
“I really love the Harry Potter movies, probably too much for a gentleman of my considerable age.
“I cannot stress this enough – I am not accusing JK Rowling of being antisemitic. She need not answer to any of it.
“I don’t want the Harry Potter movies censored in any way. It was a lighthearted conversation.”

Well then Tolkien's dwarves, and the thousands of fantasy writers after, are the same thing by that ridiculous logic. Two of the primary characteristics of Dwarves in the fantasy genre are that they are greedy and have big noses. Anyone who thinks dwarves or goblins were written as a metaphor for jews are out of their mind.

It's more likely just mixed with the fact a lot of anti-Semitic cartoons portray Jews as goblin like creatures. I don't think anything in HP is intentionally anti-Semitic, but goblins themselves have been used in that way.
