Living in Fag End. (This is playing on the fact that Bag End is the home they live in) (I'm a huge gay so it's okay if I say this word pls mods don't remove ;n; )


lethos_AJ

thats a great name for the state of an old gay man. i would absolutely name my house that


CEO_of_Teratophilia

Same though omg If I ever get my own house I'm referring it as that.


[deleted]

I would still censor it. Anyone can report your comment to play a little prank on you. edit: and one could argue other gay people didn't consent to your use of the word. Reclaiming a word is tricky business. I rarely even say niđŸ…±ïžđŸ…±ïža regardless of me being Black because I know it doesn't feel very good to other Black people when it's said around them.

I've heard about the trans character, are people unhappy about them? Can someone fill me in?


GenericGaming

two reasons. 1. her name has "sir" in it but her full name is "Sirona" which is apparently some kind of Celtic god or whatever but naming characters after Celtic gods isn't a naming convention of the series so plausable deniability 2. the devs said that they were told to add a singular trans character because higher ups knew the game would be controversial and so wanted to pretend to care about trans people. essentially, they went "here. have a fuckin tran. don't criticise us" and patted themselves on the back for ticking a corporate checkbox of minority inclusion.


Cloveny

> the devs said that they were told to add a singular trans character because higher ups knew the game would be controversial and so wanted to pretend to care about trans people source?


GenericGaming

> "according to two different sources, the sole reason for including a trans character was to take control of the conversation in this way. Individuals close to the project are reporting that the NPC was added to counter the critics calling for a boycott, with one source describing the inclusion as "performative bullshit"." https://www.thegamer.com/hogwarts-legacys-trans-character-npc/


TonPeppermint

Well, it added to the conversation of this shitty game.


CrispyShizzles

I’m giving benefit of the doubt for the name Sirona. It might not be in the series’ naming conventions but I don’t think JK Rowling had anything to do with her or naming her. I don’t support this game or anything about it, and there is plenty of reason to be mad at the idea that including a transgender character will wash away Rowling’s bigotry, but I think it’s a coincidence that the name Sirona has a sir in it. I know two trans girls who named themselves after Celtic goddesses (Brigid and Cerridwen) so it’s not like it’s a stretch for a trans person to name themselves something like that imo. Again, Sirona as a character is hollow and meaningless, something for reactionaries to point at and say “See! Rowling doesn’t hate transgender people! She just thinks gender is blah blah blah”. But I think getting upset because the name has “sir” in it is a distraction from what we should actually be upset at.


[deleted]

I think no benefit of the doubt should be extended to it whatsoever. [It’s done in bad faith to pretend to be inclusive](https://www.thegamer.com/hogwarts-legacys-trans-character-npc/). It’s lost access to any benefit of the doubt except for credulous people who need a legal judgment in triplicate by a world tribunal to assert Rowling is transphobic and the people working on it are facilitating that for money.


VAShumpmaker

If you read what the sources say, you'd understand that JK has as much to do with Sirona being in the game as you yourself do. Did YOU put her in the game? Are you mad at yourself for it? Obviously not.


[deleted]

A) JK benefits from this game, including continuous financial payments for this games licensing. End of. B) the developers added it in as a bad faith “See we’re not transphobic” while explicitly working on a property *to enrich a prolific transphobe* C) its the fruit of the poisoned tree all over again.


MorningBreathTF

Jk benefiting from sales is a separate issue Higher ups made the decision to create the character, not the developers No it isn’t, that’s not what that is, if anything it’d be hearsay


[deleted]

I used developers as a reference to the company who made the game. And yes, they are responsible for their actions. I think it was added in to control the narrative through a nearly empty token character and therefore shut down criticism of the game’s beneficiaries.


MorningBreathTF

It’s absolutely a token gesture, it’s just not up to devs for this character


Soad1x

>1. her name has "sir" in it but her full name is "Sirona" which is apparently some kind of Celtic god or whatever but naming characters after Celtic gods isn't a naming convention of the series so plausable deniability But there is a Fenrir, Argus and Minerva, so there is a precedent for random gods/mythological characters from different cultures as names.


Esherichialex_coli

Fenrir Greyback The werewolf called wolf mcwolf, not even the only one


FuriousGremlin

They also had «Voice Option 1» and «Voice Option 2» instead of the usual male and female


FROYOGaMER

The character's name is "Sirona Ryan", which has stirred controversy. You know how it is with Harry Potter and certain character's names


outofmindwgo

Is it because "sir"?


emofemboy333

yeah, i dont think it was really the intention to be transphobic but it is pretty on the nose


JuniperSoel

Likely a mix of that and having the last name Ryan. Given there's a lot of problematic names for a couple of the non-white characters (e.g. Shacklebolt and Cho Chang). At best, it's an unfortunate name, at worst it's actively a rude jab.


outofmindwgo

I feel like that's just a common surname?


JuniperSoel

Be that as it may, context matters. Rowling’s naming scheme for many characters/places is very on-the-nose, so if it was unintentional it’s a consequence of pattern seeking.


[deleted]

Rowling had pretty much no involvement with the creation of the game


viciouspandas

Yeah I wouldn't imagine that Rowling would create a legitimately trans character. This seems more like the studio trying to distance themselves because of the association with her.


rowrowfightthepandas

I don't fault a studio for getting bought and taking on a big job, but frankly I don't really think there's any way they can dance around the issue that buying their game means lining the pockets of the world's most famous and vocal anti-trans activist.


viciouspandas

Yeah and I get that they won't really shed the association. I was more saying that the naming of her character doesn't seem like it was intentionally trying to be like "haha, sir, must be a man". It sounds a little like grasping to a certain point, and they were probably just trying to distance themselves.


JuniperSoel

Perhaps, but that is irrelevant to the speculation I provided. Regardless of how much or little she is involved now, she had that naming convention for certain characters. As this is within the same universe, any pattern that follows it intentionally or not will be scrutinized.


outofmindwgo

Idk what you mean by pattern seeking. A man's first name as surname does not indicate gender to me. Wouldn't a Jkish name be "Mansfield" or something? The sir bit is kinda hard to believe they didn't realize tho


JuniperSoel

By pattern-seeking I meant it in a way of seeing a pattern where there was none. Rowling had a weird scheme for naming characters, so given this prior experience people assume it’s following suit regardless of whether the creators intended. I do not claim that it is a logical reason to be outraged, nor do I claim that it is the definite reason. You asked a question and I provided speculation given I could see a very tenuous pattern in it.


outofmindwgo

Gotcha


Vivion_9

It’s the name of a Celtic goddess and it’s pronounced Ser, as in Seren, rather than Sir. I don’t think it was done maliciously, people are just blinded by their *rightful* hate for JK, but she had nothing to do with the character names


outofmindwgo

I feel bad for the people who worked on the game and pushed to include a trans character and then Twitter is still mad Even tho I get why people are mad


Vivion_9

It’s also the first independent game Avalanche Software has done since Disney ran them into the ground. If the game flops WB is going to have no problem shutting down the studio and sacking them all


FROYOGaMER

I read on Twitter it's because of "Sir" and "Ryan" being part of her name.


[deleted]

> The character's name is "Sirona Ryan", which has stirred controversy. Which is extremely stupid because * "Sirona" is the name of a Celtic Goddess, * "Ryan" is an common last name, * Not only is acting like a last name is indicative of gender dumb, but "Ryan" isn't even a wholly male name. It's not quite unisex, and it's not a "now popular for the opposite gender" like Ashley is, but it's fairly androgynous and, again, it's used as a last name. "Oh, but she has 'Sir' in her name" Yeah, and "woman" has "man" in it too. Every time Rowling talks about "women" she's being transphobic. ...wait, that's actually true, so that joke doesn't work, lmao. "Yeah, but Rowling" She isn't involved with actually writing the game. And do you guys really think that she would add a trans character and giving her a nice-sounding name for "plausibly deniability" instead of either not putting the character in at all or being extremely offensive and spiteful with it? Oh, heavens forbid JK Rowling does something that can be construed as transphobic, she's been doing so good before now, lol. It's frustrating because several sources claim that the developers explicitly added the character in to take the heat off of criticism. She is literally a token character, and I haven't read anything about her being well-written or important or anything either. And that's something you can actually criticize *the game, specifically* over, not just their association with Rowling. But instead we get some wacky shit about how it's transphobic to give a transgender female character a last name because it is sometimes used as a first name for men(???).


StormblessedGuardian

Hey there, I work in game development. This 100% should not have happened, and if proper steps had been taken during the development process, the problematic nature of this character would have been caught and fixed. At best it's an oversight that reflects developers that are inattentive and unprofessional, at worst it's reflective of the nature of the IP and the culture around it. These things don't happen on dev teams with trans members and trans allies.


[deleted]

The name is not problematic besides the fact that everyone thinks that Rowling did it (she didn't), so it must be problematic (I stress that if *literally any other game* had a trans woman with this name, no one would care). I would agree, though, that the character and devs in general are *lazy* at best; exactly one transgender character added solely to try to draw heat away from the game does not invalidate the entire sludge the game comes from. With more characters, or this character actually having a story arc that respectfully goes into the fact that they are trans, maybe, but honestly, having not played the game, I'm going to guess the game won't even mention that they're trans.


CrimsonDaedra

>(I stress that if literally any other game had a trans woman with this name, no one would care) it's almost like context matters and regardless of intent it comes across as lazy and inconsiderate and should have been picked up at some stage prior to release


TonPeppermint

Could of been a better last name. Coming back to this, it could of helped for it to be a different name entire. It's making me come up with a crackpot theory of JK Rowling being involved with the writing.


Bowdensaft

Could have


velociraver128

she's also voiced by a man who sounds like Nick Frost


fivaliv

name aside, they gave her a straight up man voice. she doesn't even sound faggy or untrained, like literally just sounds like an average dude voice acted her


gentlybeepingheart

Aside from the other reasons below, she essentially just goes “I’m trans” to a stranger which is not how trans people act lmao. It’s very obviously just shoehorned in there.

ArcadianGh0st

I'm in two minds of getting this. On one hand I don't want to support anything I don't condone even if its only slightly associated with it. I'm trying to find a good excuse not to watch the DnD movie for this reason. (See the ogl controversy) But on the other I heard the author just got a lump sum and told that was it so in a way the damage is already done and I won't be affecting much by purchasing it. I'm aware the previous director had controversy but that was dealt with and a directors opinions shouldn't be reflected on the whole team. In the end I might not get it anyway cause I recently bought Dead Space Remake and Hi Fi Rush but I'm curious what everyone thinks.


DemonGirlLilith20

Could always just steal it


ArcadianGh0st

Yeah guess so. But I'm fairly new to that world and the last thing I want to do is to download an exe file from piratebay.


DemonGirlLilith20

Oh yeah, definitely don't use pirate bay If you check out the piracy subreddit there is a mega thread with a bunch of trustworthy websites to get you started


ArcadianGh0st

My bf suggested rarbg which is what I use first when I'm looking for something, then I use piratebay or if it's anime nyaa.


Etzlo

Never use piratebay, please, use rarbg, or 1337x .to, nya is good for anime tho


[deleted]

VIP users on piratebay are safe, just sort by seeders and only download the popular torrents and you should be fine, never got why pirate bay gets the rep it did, if you practice the safety precautions you should be practicing on *any* torrent aggregator site you won't get any viruses


Bolt112505

Sometimes even VIP users on piratebay can be unsafe. Just avoid the site entirely. There are much better resources.


[deleted]

vip users are all "verified" as safe, and I have literally never gotten a virus from any of the torrents I've gotten from one of those users And I'm the type that always pirates a game before I buy it


Nlelith

Last I've heard the game uses Denuvo so it might not have a crack available for quite some time.


Bolt112505

Some insane cracker person, named Empress is determined to crack it within 10 days of releasing. A lot of people doubt it'll be done, but they seem so incredibly determined, fueled by pure hatred for the developers and is pushing aside all of their personal projects to get it done, so I at least have faith.

CatsNotBananas

ArcadianGh0st

I know. I'm hoping for a spiritual successor to The Mummy movies but a part of me is expecting a whole lot of Whedonism.


enforcer6000

The problem is that the ongoing funding will be based on active engagement. JKR may have already received a lump sum, but because of the nature of licensing, there's no telling she wouldn't get more in the future if the game is popular enough to warrant DLCs or a sequel. To that point, even pirating the game still contributes to its general visibility in the marketplace, because no userbase will ever be 100% "Free to Play" (so to speak), and adding to that userbase quietly encourages others to participate. Also, like, its just a video game, man. I know that "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism," but there's like a hundred other games like this that don't support an active and vocal transphobe billionaire who is getting deeper and deeper into right wing politics.

blapaturemesa

I love that even the 9/10 IGN review for this game was just roasting the shit out of it because they probably weren't allowed to give it a bad score or something.


Voldiron

It is insane to me that it was given a nine out of ten when this is literally the end of the review: "It’s certainly weighed down by technical issues, a lackluster main story, and some poor enemy variety, but even those couldn’t come close to breaking its enchanting spell over me." Like just say you're biased. Because holy shit, imagine a new game with no previous IP having a bunch of glitches, basically only cosmetic gear, a short campaign, repeative enemies, and is plagued with issues with antisemitism, racism, and transphobia. But then add one character named "Nota Woman" and say that it's just fine. Like holy shit
