You:"Stop enjoying your favorite fantasy series, I'm trans and It offends me seeing people enjoying a famous franchise just because the creator Is problematic🥺" Also you:"What? My favorite videogame Is made by problematic developers that harassed their workers and costantly lied to the fanbase? I don't care, I still like it😭"
if you think actively funding anti-trans policies and organisations that affect actual laws and persistently spreading harmful transphobic, antisemitic and racist images AND laying off 50 people for unknown reasons is the same then we have nothing to discuss here
you are free to stop consuming any creator's content, to me it's a matter of what happened and how are they handling it afterwards
with bendy devs it seems like it was just mike being a shitty boss and meatly at worst being idle and also we still dont really know why this happened and nobody seems keen on sharing that so we might never know. but there never were any problematic things in the franchise itself (aside from something vague in the books but it might have been nothing, the book did have sensitivity readers so it must have slipped past them)
with jkr and hp people said thousands of times what was wrong but no, jkr didnt just have a fuck up that she had to learn better from. she knows very well what shes doing and shes sticking by it and let me repeat what shes doing is affecting goddamn laws. and its not just the trans thing either, the new game that came out or whatever not only features antisimetic charicatures and romanticises slavery as it was before but doubles down on those
when im gonna buy batdr, that money isnt going to end up supporting shit like banning gay conversion therapies for being inhumane but keeping the trans ones 😳
i am all in favour of criticising what the bendy developers are doing though, i have been doing that ever since the firings were known and i've been persistent about it, because i think the bendy devs could eventually do better and let's just say karma got them for what they did as well (ill be honest i have no idea what you mean by harassing workers and lying to fanbase tho, the workers have just been laid off).
i think jkr proved that she has no intentions of doing better and what she's doing is actually extremely harmful to entire groups of people
so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that's why i approach those cases differently and like if someone disagrees with me that's fine, people have different ideas of what's unforgivable and what's not, you are free to draw your own conclusions but like just as i have to deal with it if people dont wanna interact with a bendy fan youll have to deal with people not wanting to have anything to do with a harry potter fan, cheers
