Even if I don't agree with her view, I'm not a middle-aged woman that's lived and experienced what she has, so I also don't feel like I'm in the position to say whatever she is personally feeling is "wrong". The lack of empathy on the part of so-called "liberals" is sometimes astounding.

A Complete Breakdown of the J.K. Rowling Transgender-Comments Controversy
Beamer wrote on Jan 25, 2023, 02:41:
The level of concern trolling is off the charts.
When people can't even admit that Rowling made some really intentionally offensive and overstated tweets, it probably isn't worth engaging with them over how many men would willingly have their penis removed, or at least be on heavy hormonal treatment, in order to molest women in bathrooms

Activists like this rarely have an impact on sales in terms of units sold - they're all bark and rely on causing "controversy" to make a scene. Even the products they say they support don't actually sell well when they have to rely on them alone.
I can guarantee that the average Harry Potter fan doesn't care one iota and probably has already preordered the game. I myself know a few people that have already (Not really into HP myself).

You've probably heard of it. It's NeoGAF reformed/rebranded under new management.

Resetera is the site that won't even allow people with free email accounts to join, it's pretty much worse than Reddit in terms of being a useless echo chamber.
I remember when they were throwing fits over a videogame character being physically attractive.
I'd never heard of or visited the site and now that they've banned all discussion of the new Harry Potter game, I won't bother. I am really curious to see if the trans activists and their allies can hurt sales of the game though. While they have a lot of pull in the world of video game journalism, there are still a lot of Potter fans who don't buy into the activist mindset, even if they're scared to say so publicly.

So were they prosecuted for the rapes in prison?
Like if that's going on, maybe this person needs to be isolated or in solitary confinement.
No, he sexually assaulted his two victims on the outside, was arrested and put on trial, and then, while on trial, when it was obvious he was likely to be convicted and after the Scottish government passed the Self-ID law--he suddenly announced that he had become a woman. From the coverage I've seen, there is no evidence that he had ever claimed a trans identity prior to being tried for sexual assault. Prison officials have said that he will temporarily be held separate from the main female population while they try to figure out how to deal with him, and are quite aware of all the publicity they're getting in this instance.
For the record, this isn't just happening in Scotland. California, among other U.S. states, is now housing men who identify as women in female prisons, regardless of any history of sexual assault.
