Yeah, but not generally so overtly racist, and JK Rowling has earned a lot of animosity for being queen of the terfs, so this one’s getting much more critique than other games do. Which is really a sign that most games need to be critiqued harder if they express any kind of politics.
On top of this, Rowling is also an outspoken Blairite who hates Jeremy Corbyn almost as much as she hates trans women - to the point that surprisingly horny Corbyn expies have appeared in two of her novels now. And a large part of Corbyn’s purging from Labour leadership (and a large part of the negative portrayal of JKs first Corbynesque fictional character) was about allegations of antisemitism that were founded on his support for Palestinians. Not his extreme fondness for making up wizard stories about gold-hoarding, blood-drinking, scheming, greedy, long-nosed, big-eared, hand-wringing banker pariahs that are a pain in the ass to negotiate with. And that have the star of david as a floor ornament in their bank in case somebody missed that they are every single antisemitic stereotype combined.
Seriously, it’s quite something to see how such a prominent Corbyn hater shows her entire antisemitic ass over and over again. It’s really always projection with these people.
