Terf stands for "Trans exclusionary Radical feminist", which is a type of feminist that pushes for women's rights, but doesn't support transgender rights, and thinks MtF transgender people don't count as women.
A lot of people have boycotted Hogwarts legacy because of her political views. Personally, I think it's a bit extreme to boycott a great game made by a studio and developers that have nothing to do with her views just because she gets royalties on it, but that's a matter of personal opinion
@waz @bric Except for this little bit:

And they kinda very much *are* her views. She did, after all, write a series of books replete with Jewish stereotypes and slavery apologia that, yeah, went over a lot of our heads when the books first came out because yay wizardstuffs, but now in context with everything else, it makes more sense. This game even involves putting down a goblin rebellion.
What are these books ? do you mean Harry Potter ? something else ?
I find it really tiresome that there are accounts still asking supposedly innocent questions. Yes, of course they mean Harry Potter, you're in a discussion about a game set in the school which is central to the plot of the Harry Potter books.
That was not exactly obvious to me, I mean their description is far removed from what I remember the books being. Then there's the fact they don't mention the book by name, and since I'm not familiar with the author's other works, I assumed they may have been referring to an earlier, lesser-known story.
Don't be tired, you're always going to have to clarify stuff for people, and if you're positive about it you maximize the chances of a fruitful interaction
Now I'd love to know what in HP is a slavery apology because I have no memory of that
Also, why "accounts"? instead of "people"
You're not fooling anyone.
That's a good thing, I certainly don't intend to
Not sure why anyone would be suspicious of such a simple interaction lol
