anyway the goblin antagonist of hogwarts legacy is, yes, the ultimate antagonist, works with dark wizards to harvest (or steal previously harvested? unclear in the summary i read) magical energy from wizards including children — there's, allegedly, a scene where they explicitly discuss abducting a child. the antagonism is first framed as the goblin wanting to reclaim goblin-made artifacts and magic but is later revealed as an enterprise of personal greed for the goblin, who steals all the power for himself at the end of the game and turns into a dragon (you know, a giant lizard). this is the big plot of the game, is the goblin and his associated evil characters stealing an essence from children for their personal evil magical use, and then at the end of the game, the goblin turns into a big lizard. hogwarts legacy really is antisemitic tropes: the video game.
#hogwarts legacy#hogwarts legacy for ts#antisemitism /#nat.txt#this game has everything! blood libel! hook nosed caricatures! secret lizard people! transphobia!#literally no amount of toothless nostalgia is worth supporting this game.#aside from the fact that buying it financially supports jk rowling the entire plot is an exercise in antisemitism#i don't care how much you loved harry potter as a child. i don't care how it shaped your life. this is vile and cruel-minded top to bottom#''the devs aren't jkr'' no but they did make this piece of shit game so they're not exactly progressively minded are they.#anyway i am maintagging this because i want to spoil it for all the babies in the tag.#if your political alliances with marginalized people end at a video game you deserve to have the ending ruined for you.
