Alright so first off; denying your incorrect claim that she makes money from this game is not the same as “outright transphobia”. That statement is actually deranged.
Secondly, WB owns the rights to HP games, as mentioned elsewhere in the comments.
Rowling owns the rights to the Harry Potter IP, a fact that can easily be verified using multiple sources with a simple search. As such, she makes royalties on every single use of the IP.
And BTW, no one denied that she makes any money from it, they just denied that it matters.
I also never made the claim that denying that she makes money makes you an “outright transphobe” (a phrase I also never said, despite your quotes.) I stated that denying the relevance or existence of transphobia is the same as a tactic used by racists.
Everything you just said, and everything you attributed to me, actually only happened in your own head. At first I thought you might just be confidently incorrect, but the absolute depth of your lies makes the truth clear.
Opaquely lying like this is also a tactic used by various types of bigot. It’s called a “straw man argument,” is an unethical tactic that adds nothing to the debate, is a favorite of bigots everywhere, is generally applied when one has no real argument, and is only effectively applied in far less obvious manners than this.

Put simply, a terf owns the IP, money flows back to her. Outright denial of this fact is borderline transphobic itself.
👍
That’s a huge stretch.
Not at all. In fact, denial is a common tactic. See the “racism doesn’t exist” crowd for a prime example. I think you’ll find it’s full of racists.
