It’s basically impossible to be perfect, pirating the work stops the money from going to jk Rowling which therefore stops it from going to anti trans groups.
Shopping at Home Depot hurts trans people Using Amazon hurts trans people Shopping at basically any big box store hurts trans people
They are a heavily oppressed group and you aren’t able to live your life perfectly so don’t sweat pirating a game
