Okay so I'm gonna have a hot take about the fucking harry potter game. Just scroll past this if you don't wanna engage with it.
The "boycott" has not. Fucking. Worked. It was bound to be popular and people screaming about how you shouldn't buy/play it has been free advertisement. That being said, in a perfect world it would have tanked and been played by a handful harry potter-adults and not made back the production costs but that's not the world we live in.
In my opinion, you as an individual, should not buy/play it. None of that "I'll give 60 bucks to a charity clmbating antisemitism/transphobia so I can play it without worrying about my conscious"-bullshit.
However, given that it's got so much buzz people are going to watch playthroughs and game streams. This is where left-wing streamers can play a huge role. From what I understand the game is pretty fucking antisemitism and as we know the franchise is owned and largely controlled by a terf, which is why these things need to be pointed out. A left-wing person streaming the game and actually discussing the themes and the problems with the game and making fun of jk and whatever could have a large impact on the way the game is viewed. Instead of having only apolitical/outspoken transphobes/right-wing people stream the game and have the antisemitism and transphobia fly straight over their heads, some procentage of people could instead be exposed to left-wing ideas. On top of that, the charity work that could be done would outshine whatever charity work some streamers may or may not do without playing the game.
People sharing spoilers and pointing out the antisemitism and low quality of the game should be getting more attention than the people screaming about how playing the game makes you the scum of the earth.
#i admit i have gone back and forth on this and that's partially bc i don't personally care to watch any playthrough of it#but i think its important that the left attempts to control the public perception of this game and if we cede that ground the game is just#gonna be known as the Buy to make a liveral cry or whatever-game#if the left can cotrol the narrative we can gain ground in the 'internet town square' and that's more important than the ideological purity#of individuals#anti jkr#harry potter#hogwarts legacy#sorry for bringing twitter leftist drama to tumblr

You should make some Headcanons about what sides are most likely to vape and what kinds they use and stuff 😂 I don’t vape so I don’t know a lot but I think that would be funny 😂
I BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE TURN IT UP
i’m gonna put a trigger warning for vaping, drinking, smoking, and hard drugs right here.
logan
logan smokes different strains of weed for different purposes. he smokes cinex sativa to stay focused and calm if work is stressing him out too much. for recreation, he smokes white widow, a hybrid that’s known to make you laugh. he likes having a heightened sense of joy when everyone is chillin together. he owns a black pen and an opaque navy blue bowl, but he prefers edibles because of their minimized effects on the lungs. he doesnt vape and rarely drinks. when he does drink, he prefers beer and plain vodka and usually doesnt get much past tipsy. he is usually a sleepy and bitter drunk if he’s not crossed. he will occasionally smoke a cigar if he’s drunk enough but usually regrets it because theyre so bad for you.
roman
roman’s substance of choice is alcohol. hes kind of a slutty and excitable drunk and can often be found dancing on tables and just generally being the life of the party. he loves fruity vodkas. his favorites are mango pineapple svedka and new amsterdam’s pink whitney (my personal favorite 😌). he’s also into malibu. he doesn’t really like carbonated drinks so if he’s not taking shots he mixes with lemonade, iced tea, cranberry juice, pineapple juice or anything else in his fridge that’s fruity. he has a vast collection of shot glasses including a rainbow glittery one, one that says “fuck my liver”, a set of tiny mason jars with handles, and a white one that says “cheers bitches” in pink cursive. he also has a collection of holiday specific shot glasses and wine glasses for various holidays such as christmas, halloween, new years, valentines day and st. patricks day. for more casual drinking, he drinks mike’s hards lemonades (his favorite is the strawberry obviously) and twisted teas, as well as all types of wine though his preference is rosé. he occasionally buys a fruity puffbar or budvape for a night out, in which case he chooses blue razzberry, cotton candy or banana. weed makes him paranoid so he doesn’t smoke, but has hit logan’s pen a few times when he was drunk because he doesn’t mind being crossed.
patton
like roman, patton is into fruity drinks, although he’s not that into shots because he doesnt like the feeling. he likes canned or bottled drinks, like white claw, truly, mike’s and twisted teas. enjoys beer, will not admit this. he’s not as much of a drinker as roman is, but is a cuddly, giggly, happy drunk. he gets very touchy. occasionally hits one of the others’ vapes when he’s drunk if it’s a flavor he likes. he likes weed but will only smoke the strains that make him calm and giggly. if he hits one of logan’s focus strains, he usually has a bad high so tends to avoid it. he doesnt really like being crossed so he picks either alcohol or weed for the night. he has a subscription to a cigar company that sends him flavored cigars. during the christmastime, you can often find patton in a big ugly christmas sweater smoking a cinnamon cigar watching the snow fall at night time. he smokes cigars roughly 2-4 times a month.
virgil
virgil hates alcohol, he found out very early on that it makes him throw up and shake and feel cold. but he is an avid vaper and stoner. weed of pretty much any strain helps him calm down. he has two pens, one with a galaxy skin and one with a tye dye skin that has a little marijuana leaf pattern all over it. he has five bowls of various colors and designs. he can roll a fat joint in under a minute. if youre lucky, he might have a backwood or two. he has a marbled purple bong. if he’s not smoking for fun, he usually smokes before bed every night so he can go to sleep without his thoughts gettin too loud. as for vaping, he has a rainbow lava (this is the one i have in mind), a matte black suorin drop, and a purple JuNo. his favorite flavors are mint, berry and grape ice. he doesnt often buy disposables but when he does, he likes the lush ice and honeydew hydes.
janus
janus drinks almost exclusively dark liquor. scotch and whiskey are his favorites. he also occasionally enjoys rum, tequila and bacardi. he drinks his liquor straight out of a short glass with ice. he will drink wine, but only red wine. he is an extremely composed drunk, the kind where you literally cant tell if he’s wasted or sober unless he tells you straight up. he has a juul but doesnt ever really use it. he will smoke weed, but only if the others are doing it. he usually gets pretty quiet when he’s high. while the others are all cracking up, he usually just chuckles a little. the only time you can ever really tell that janus is fucked up is when he’s crossed. he loses all his inhibitions and speedruns every emotion ever. like one minute he’s howling laughing, the next he’s screaming crying, the next he’s dancing on the table shirtless with roman. he smokes cigarettes but the only other person who knows is virgil, and he begs him not to tell the others. he has tried coke with remus but it didnt really do it for him.
remus
this one is long because i have a lot to cover. i feel like i shouldnt even have to say this put remus abuses all of these substances. remus will drink whatever is put in front of him. dark or light. in fact, the others usually have to stop him from mixing dark and light so he doesnt throw up. the kind of person who will purposefully not eat all day so that the drunk hits him harder at night. knows every drinking game in the book and WILL beat you at all of them. sometimes he loses on purpose so he can chug the bitch cup if the game happens to include one. super energetic drunk, screams, falls into things, flirts with everything with a pulse. if you dont put him to bed he will simply stay up until 7am when he passes out on the pong table. facetimes all of his contacts. the kind of person to go to the bathroom, pull trig, come back downstairs and take more shots. alcohol is definitely his favorite. he has a green lava and vapes almost every day, somehow he’s genuinely not addicted, virgil is jealous. he knows every vape trick in the book. virgil taught him the ones he knows, but the rest he either figured out himself or looked up on youtube. he vapes any flavor but prefers pineapple (gross) and tobacco (also gross. these are the grossest flavors i could think of). as for weed, he likes it the most when he’s drunk because he loves being crossed. he will randomly swipe virgil’s bong and tries to hide the fact that he’s high but he’ll be sitting at breakfast with bloodshot eyes asking patton if pancakes have feelings and everyone knows whats goin on. he has also tried hard drugs like coke, molly, and acid but he’s only done them once or twice. he does shrooms roughly once every two months.
