Of course, Rowling has also pointed out the more personal, more misogynist abuse she has received. Again, I don’t think Rowling is an irredeemable monster. I don’t think anything is solved by calling her a bitch, or worse. The problem is that this is a verbally violent issue on both sides.

The Goblet of Fire is one of the strongest movies in the Potter series. Harry endures a typically difficult year at Hogwarts Legacy Collectibles, thrown into the Triwizard Tournament despite being drastically younger than other competitors Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum. And he then has a showdown with Lord Voldemort at the

Rinse and repeat. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a thrilling book, especially given how much it delves into Lord Voldemort's backstory. Fans learn he was raised in an orphanage, had a horrible grandfather, and that his mother bewitched his father into falling in love with her via a love pot

That means the world, it really does, but bringing down the powerful who I’m unsure are even listening to you only brings these often traumatic views into our eyes time and time again. I’ve been a victim of transphobia, I’ve been screamed at on the street and sent death threats just for being who I am. I can give up, but my happiness means so much that I’m willing to keep going in the face of adversity. Rowling means nothing to me, she’s a miserable rich woman who has the world in her hands and enough money to enact substantial change, but she instead spends her time writing essays that will be put on a pedestal and are designed to erase the wider identity of trans people.

However, where The Elder Scrolls games cannot be faulted is their ability to draw the player into their worlds with immense world-building and lore. There is never a shortage of history books and references to past titles to read up on and characters to interact with. Fans of RPGs with vast worlds should dive into any of The Elder Scrolls games, but Skyrim is the most accessi

Continuing in the vein of the preceding Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Wrath of the Righteous is a classically styled isometric CRPG drawing on — as one might guess — the wildly popular Pathfinder tabletop RPG. Having far surpassed its original KickStarter goals, this indirect sequel promises more classes, deeper mechanics, and a brand new narrative for players to pur

Hotly anticipated by fans, the latest installment in Atlus's demon collecting and demon battling series is expected to launch this year. While audiences may know about Persona, a spin-off of the Megami Tensei series, Shin Megami Tensei games are a slightly different flavor of the same JRPG goodn

It might be hard to keep track of exactly what's expected to launch this year, but there's a lot to be looking forward to, even if some things might escape fans' radars the first time around. With notable role-playing titles coming out on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC, here are all the best role-playing games to keep an eye out for in 2

Houses can be chosen. That much is for sure. What isn’t known yet is if this game will have a Mass Effect -like morality system. That said, the trailer might indicate that students could go an evil route. In the fight against the dragon breaking free, the bottom right corner shows a masked man aiding the player. Maybe the skull masks aren’t all evil, but this could point to students being able to go a different p

On the subject of the school itself, the grounds and school mostly look familiar. There is one place that is a mystery though. There is a tower not connected to the school with a winding path going up it in the very back. Maybe this place was demolished in the 1800s as referenced by the books in a small instance. It could also just be a new area unique for the g

Released in 2018, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an open-world action RPG developed by Warhorse Studios. Its story takes place in 1403 Bohemia using historical settings. As a result, there is no magic, dragons, elves, or orcs, and the game makes every effort to be realistic as possi

Yet the video game squanders the potential and, in truth, is a pretty drab and boring affair. It's repetitive, with fans having to continuously round up members of Dumbledore's Army before engaging in some tame battles. As a result it was given 5/10 - and it's not the only on

The beauty of a good RPG is its ability to draw the player in and allow them to discover a world or a universe for themselves that has its history and lore. The lore in a game can be accessed through in-game history books, codexes, diaries, conversations with NPCs, and more. Here are some of the best Western RPGs with in-depth lo

It’s exhausting being trans. There’s the beautiful side of finally embracing who you want to be, finding a sense of euphoria and belonging that had been missing for far too long. When you finally figure out your identity it can mean the world, it’s just a shame that so much of that very same world seems dead set against our existence. Please, just leave us alone.
