Too much diversity
I'm seeing a lot of whining from people who are upset about the presence of minorities and diversity in this game. They say it's 'historically inaccurate'.

But wizards, magic, monsters, and Hogwarts are all totally historically accurate. Remember the wizards in history class? No, me neither.

Some peoples' selective outrage and butthurt is legitimately dumb. Point out the reasons they are upset about 'diversity', though and that's when the real crying starts hahaha.

most of us don't really care, I just like to watch the meltdowns from lefties like the Wired reviewer.
the meltdowns are coming from the anti-woke people who bought this woke af game. That's the coup de grace here.

Nobody knows or cares what 'wired' is. I've never even heard of that.

However, we all know they are there because of woke, not because of how cool it would be to study some african pagan magic stuff in Hogwarts.

It shall be a lore-expanding feature, not out-of nowhere diversity for the sake of it.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, propaganda and cheap oppportunism. Yes, it will create backlash and people will be upset. Your surprised pikachu face is not justified.

This is more or less my opinion on it. Thanks to how much woke crap has been shoved down our throats over the last so many years even natural inclusions that would've been fine in the past still feel like forced inclusions for diversity's sake. I'm a minority myself and even I'm fighting the urge not to call the game woke in certain areas all because of this. I shouldn't find issues with other ethnicities/cultures being in this game because it makes sense from a lore perspective with all of the magic they have, but thanks to our current culture I can't help but feel it's there thanks to woke, not because it's cool just like you said.

This is what happens when you force things on people as a whole. It's societal/cultural rape. We were slowly progressing towards more inclusion and less racism and then out of nowhere people got impatient/angry/violent and decided to force everyone to change their views much faster than naturally allowed. This right here is why there's push back. The harder you push the harder the push back. We as people should know this yet every young person is too stupid and naive to care and now we're where we are at. We can't even have something cool that makes sense without many of us feeling it's forced, even if it wasn't meant to.

Damn people are stupid. No matter how much we've learned, we choose to ignore it.

white guilt
Pretty much and a compulsive need to virtue signal to get some brownie points.

Remember a couple of years ago when there was a big stink about white actors playing other races? Sure, the wizarding world shewn here has more diversity...but how come nearly every Asian character is voiced by a Caucasian actor? What ever happened to that argument?

The caretaker Mr. Moon is a glaringly obvious example.

Welcome to capitalism...where art is commodified and sold as a product, aimed at the largest possible market demographics with the sole motive of PROFIT. Beautiful, ain't it? Them markets supplying demand.

As with many products, you're free to not buy the game...but wouldn't that be a...GASP...boycott?!

Could you substantiate this? Interesting if true, but need some evidence.

Huh? I said capitalism is beautiful. I described how it commodifies art and sterilises it for mass audiences in the quest for endless profit. Did you read that as a criticism? I'm just stating facts about how free markets work. The free market is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Or do you dislike capitalism? Sounds like you are the one who hates capitalism.

As for being 'self-hating', I can only laugh. I'm not the one being angry on the internet. Only a self hater would subject themselves to such foolishness.

I am perfectly happy with myself, and I feel no guilt or shame for being white. I've never treated people badly based on skin colour, so why would I feel guilt?

Try harder.

If you engage your mental faculties, you might recall that I never said Hogwarts is a racist cult. I joked about it because you were saying it is.

A school only accepted kids from in and around the country for security, financial, language/cultural and accessibility factors. Those are the rules of this fiction, thats what happened, what the author wrote. Neither you or I or anyone else, like the devs of this game have a say over that. Even she cant simply retcon what she wrote just to please a crowd now like she did with Fantastic Beasts.

But since your pov is racist, you came up with white supremacy.

Now your just trying to be stereotypical

Thats because you misunderstand the goals and values of your political opponents. The Right didnt buy Hogwarts because it was waving American flags and praising Trump. They voiced and then practiced their opposition to cancel culture. Then, despite supporting the games right to exist, they were also capable of criticizing it where it was warranted.

Thats something unique to the Right. They can look at something objectively, and criticize it, without trying to cancel it, suppress or, or get it banned/removed. Thats where the goals and values of the Right and the Left really differ. You can't fathom this because the Left would never support something they disagreed with,

The Right believes you have the right to exist, and disagree with them, a the same time. The Left believes you don't have the right exist or speak unless you agree with everything they say 100% of the time (As evidence, your own point, that Hogwarts is a liberal game thats woke, yet still was boycotted and cancelled by the very people they were trying to appease, this is where the phrase "the woke eat their own" comes from.)

The right's 'criticism' is irrelevant because they already bought the game, genius. WB got their profit already, they don't give a ♥♥♥♥. Ironically, they'd have been better off boycotting the game like the people they hate so much lmao. As usual though, right-wing people have very low intelligence. Unlike their Nike trainers, they can't even physically burn a digital game on Steam lmao. This entire thing has made the right look utterly retarded (as if they needed any help with that).

The right absolutely do not believe in the right of trans people to exist free from persecution and transphobic abuse. Don't give me that faux libertarian rubbish. The right are a bunch of authoritarians who demand conformity and tradition.

Hey, don't assume milquetoast, I am actually loving the game and do not regret my purchase at all. I honestly don't mind the diversity either, but like I said in my post even if it's a natural inclusion it's hard not to feel it's forced thanks to this woke agenda.

It is funny that you claim capitalism is aiming at the "largest possible market demographics" though. I mean, I get what you're saying, but sales numbers keep proving over the last couple years that this market they're aiming at isn't the largest, in fact, many companies are losing money and their stocks are dropping because of this woke culture push. Like I said, push too hard and the push back will be harder........or in other words, get woke, go broke.

Now I don't believe this game is necessarily woke, some of what they put in so far that I've seen feels like it could be a natural inclusion, but thanks to our culture it won't feel like anything but forced inclusion. That's the world we created.
