Woke Propaganda BS ruins the game
It's so distracting to have every character be such an obviously forced woke agenda character. Lesbian "marriage", every other character from Korea, Africa, India etc. etc. etc. - I'm pissed at myself for not reading reviews or watching some preview material so I would have seen what I was buying into. The whole point of playing games is escapism - get this Politically charged garbage OUT of our games! I will definitely be more wary about future purchases of new games to avoid this nonsense from now on.

now, OH NO!!! Lesbian people!?! AND NOT EVERYONE IS FROM THE UNITED STATES, This Politically charged, outrageous, propaganda is ruining my escapism because it's distracting.

Literally your words bro.
Literally NOT my words, but actually what you are trying to twist it into. You want to be taken seriously, but you aren't even able to understand what was written, or you're just outright lying, then you get angry when your opinion is dismissed because you don't even understand the argument you're trying to make isn't even the actual argument. Congratulations.
Well, first of all. I'm not angry. I honestly could careless about your opinions and how you feel towards these subjects. Secondly, I find it funny that you have absolutely no clue what you're saying yourself. Which, is typical of the bigots of today. Then when they get called out they try to play victim for their own ignorance.

So please enlighten me Desensitized, how do you create a post, pointing out how lesbian marriage, and having more than one ethnic group is distracting and to get the "garbage" out of games by titling it "woke propaganda" but yet not even realize what you said yourself? 🤔 😂

You saying not supporting the woke ideology is predominantly a white male phenomenon is actually hilarious given the level of veracity contained within that view. Wow, talk about being sheltered! LOL OMG. :steammocking:

Having gay marriage & multiple races doesn't make a game "woke"

learn what the term means kid...

It's funny how racists now days use the term "woke" to justify their racist feelings...

Awwwww look at you projecting and casting hatred and intolerance because you don't like the post. Excellent work. I am disappointed though that you didn't take the opportunity to cast more insults, I think if you applied yourself you can do better.

Just educating you kid. Stay in school and lay off the drugs... Maybe one day your brain will heal.

So you admit that there is racism in this world. Thats the problem with the woke movement, they claim there is no racism in the world and at the same time makes it illegal and censorship racism and science. Even licensed doctors lose their jobs if they label a patient as male or female. They try to force everyone into being woke because people dont want to be woke. If you cant convince them then just force them.. thats how "democracy" works, if people dont want something then force them.

Inclusion is difficult.
Inclusion means that you also have to work with people who reject the principle of inclusion.
Inclusion means that everyone has to (yes, has to and for many this is the problem of nature - called self-reflection) become aware of who he/she/them is. Self-reflection requires a critical view of oneself, from the outside and at eye level.
A critical view of oneself or things is not taught in schools in many countries around the world, so that inclusion is literally being taken away.
You can only look at yourself from the outside if you know your inner self and can set boundaries - something you learn in kindergarten. A place that many people don't even know about or that only serves as a place to store things so that parents can earn what they need to live and play.
Being able to see yourself at eye level (i.e. not over-critically from above) requires respect for yourself. If you can't respect yourself for who you are, you can't really see yourself esp. not at eye level.

All of this is related to oneself and now inclusion demands that everyone can and does this.
The problem and its negative excesses can be read about here in the thread.


It didn't bother me that a professor in the magical world mentions her wife. No matter in which century homosexuals were part of the magical world. Just read the Harry Potter forums, whose content is based on quotes from J.K.R:
While homosexuality often made people the target of discrimination, harassment and violence in the Muggle world, witches and wizards tended to be tolerant of or indifferent toward gays and lesbians.[2][3] Wizarding prejudices were instead concerned with a person's blood status and magical prowess.[2][3] Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was considered a "safe place" for LGBTQ+ individuals.[4]
(Source[harrypotter.fandom.com]
Furthermore, the "girl from Africa" was mentioned negatively several times here. First of all, the quest is called "the girl from Uagadou".
Uagadou,[2] or Uagadou School of Magic,[3] was the African wizarding school, located in the Mountains of the Moon in western Uganda.[1] It accepted students from all over Africa and was the largest wizarding school in the world.[2]
Source[harrypotter.fandom.com]
Her name is Natsai Onai. She rightly speaks with pride about her school, just as the Goldstein sisters speak about theirs in Fantastic Beasts. Each school focuses on different teaching methods. Durmstrang focuses on the dark arts, Uagadou on wandless magic.
It is logical that the disarming spell is unknown in Uagadou, but there are also many spells that are not taught at Hogwarts. Every private school has its own specialty.
Why the individual countries don't help each other, see Fantastic Beasts - Grindelwald's case ...
Wait a minute, I'm explaining the Magical World here... which the thread starter should actually be familiar with, and should also know that Hogwarts Legacy is NOT based on the Harry Potter's story, but on the Magical World, which J.K.R expands on with every little release. Hogwarts Legacy is a part of that.

So thread starter either keep your hands off the wizarding world and only consume Harry Potter or become inclusive - at least try. Good luck!

By the way: In the game, I was rather annoyed that I suddenly had my friend's uncle as the antagonist of the quest (THAT would irritate children much more!!) and the Inferie didn't attack him, although they attack everyone....

It's annoying for sure, but sadly it's par for the course nowadays and I've come to expect it in every modern AAA game.

If the time period was set in todays world, it wouldn't really be that bad, but 1800's England? Ah, best thing to do is try to just ignore it and focus on the positives of the game. I've managed to mostly tune it out at this point.

This is one of the reasons (a fairly minor one to be fair) why I hardly buy AAA games anymore.

true i fall into that victim mindset too sometimes where I just say "but everyone does propaganda now so ill just give in and buy it" and thats how these corrupt propaganda campaigns work because people are victims. There are so few people who are willing to fight for their rights.

"in my home country in our school is 10x the size of hogwarts, and we don't use wands"

cool back story that clearly conflicts with the harry potter universe.
so what is the point in disarming someone?
whats the point of wands.
where were all these warlocks when voldemort was running wild. (its not like distance was a thing)
its one thing to claim that africa has its own wizarding school. its another to claim they are bigger and better then hogwarts when they have so little impact on the story.
just feels like africa having smaller fractured cloisters of secluded magic users would have been more fitting to both her narrative and the worlds. even in a world of magic there has to be some kinda logic.

In all honesty that's standard for any ideological sect that approves any media for the release to the masses, or it could be the company itself that already aligns with whichever class of ideology is most predominant in society.....what i mean to say simply is that we see constant inserts of ideological views or signs of the times in pretty much all games and this game would be no different, the harry potter series itself is born from the teachings of aleister crowley and occultism, alchemy and overall masonic symbolism.....jk rowling literally said referenced this.

If people actually knew what these practices entail they wouldn't be surprised about the adoption of the current world's most predominant ideological disposition in regards to transgender-ism and more.
It's a well-reasoned thought, but I think the core issue here is that you are quite eloquently justifying the acceptance of propaganda as a mainstream aspect of all societies. Personally, I find that quite alarming to say the least, especially in light of the fact that you are accepting of it being specifically targeted at children through the various mediums. That doesn't mean your thought is incorrect - just look at what Sesame Street has been turned into as just one example - but it also doesn't mean that this behavior is acceptable or morally correct either.
I'm not justifying anything i'm simply pointing out a fact that whatever the dominant ideological disposition is in society usually gets put into each game (depending on the dev's obviously) and if people are going to actually justify their disdain towards it they should have a better foundation and stick to the facts its very simple.
My personal opinion on either ideology has nothing to do with it nor have i even put it forth
I haven't once claimed i ''accepted'' anything.....when people start trying to decide my ideological disposition when i haven't given it, their usually doing that because they are too used to arguing with people who hold those positions and don't understand or don't want to just argue towards the points being made.
I watch the potter movies and read the books and play the game and the old games but that doesn't mean i agree with its themes or hold any position that seems to ignite the need for others to try and fit everyone into.

I don't care what is being put forth towards children in these games because 1. parents are already failing their children allowing them to consume anything to do with trans or lgbtqia+ content when those communities do not have a firm grasp on what their own ideological foundation's rules are or medical affirmations stand on....they often are at odds with the medical institution's of the world so children shouldn't be involved with anything to do with something so life changing while the information remains inconclusive....
And 2. The harry potter series is filled with distilled versions of real life dark murderous aspects of occultism, cultism and the softening of ritualism, sacrificial doctrine & so on....many of the spells in the potter series are real life spells practised by cults and masonic groups, this is a fact and i don't give a crap if the spells ''wOrK'' or not in real life the issue is not if the spells work the issue is the intent and description of these ''spells'' or incantations are inherently malevolent admitted by those who made them but are made morally ambiguous for the potter series....personally i don't care because i enjoy the lore and take it as fantasy and my understanding of it allows me to be unchanged from it.
JK rowling decided to embalm her series in a plethora of it....the point is its not for kids and never has been just like father Christmas is not for kids has never been for kids yet we as a society allow the kids to accept a distilled versions of a otherwise malevolent characters being put forth as a benevolent characters.

So to be frank F#@% them kids....We are dealing with 5 year old girls singing sexy redd songs I don't care for the hypocrisy(not saying you are being a hypocrite i'm speaking generally)....It bores me this *gotta protect the kids argument* who is protecting the kids when they just throw a pc in their room then 19 years later they have a school shooter because they never checked what that kid was looking at on it, people can barely pay attention for 8 seconds anymore these parents are watching youtube shorts on their phone while their kids are getting exposed to gif porn on discord no one is protecting these children from what media they are consuming and i don't have kids so it gives me even less of a reason to give a crap.....if i ever had kids i wouldn't even let them on the internet until their frickin 18 because none of this is regulated enough to allow a child to just sit on there by themselves or play these games or watch anything without me checking it first.

Excellent example of tolerance, love, acceptance and diversity you have shown to us from the woke side. Thank you.

While I don't really agree with the tone of your comment here, I hate to admit you and I probably share more agreement than we do disagreement, and you are making some very fair points especially in regards to how society is raising kids now. It does point to a bleak future for many people as things continue to devolve. It's one of the deep ironies in the woke movement actually, that at it's core it's a movement to destroy social constructs and embrace self gratification which is creating a more selfish, less caring, more isolated, and more angry society. It's sad really.
