Arresto Momentum!

I'm not sure if "viral" is the right word, but in less than 20 minutes after its release, this tweet got 3K retweets, 6.5K likes and 700 comments (which often are the equivalent of "dislikes" on other platforms ;))

Supporting the language of segregationism isn't a good look.

As for JKR … when you choose to speak up and demonstrate your intolerance and bigotry … you cannot then feign outrage for being called out for that same intolerance and bigotry.

Apparently their lead designer resigned, following a controversy over some of his Youtube videos.

So, he argued on the side of gamergate, and defended people facing accusations that were unproven? Could we possibly consider the idea of saying, "I disagree with that man," rather than demanding his head?

Quote:

The resurfaced Leavitt videos pushed popular forum ResetEra to ban threads about Hogwarts Legacy. “This is a uniquely awful situation where both the creator of the IP and a senior producer on the game have unrepentant bigoted views,” wrote an administrator. “There will be no threads for trailers or official announcements, no hype threads, no fluff pieces about its features.”
How do these people function in the world?

Yes, sometimes I wonder. I'm more and more convinced I'm missing an important socio-political skill to appreciate all that ;)

This is why advanced forms of communication should require licenses and such. Or way more formal education, but I digress.
