PS5 Subreddit Bans All Mention Of JK Rowling Amidst Hogwarts Legacy Controversy
Hogwarts Legacy is launching tomorrow, and ahead of this, the PS5 sub reddit has opted to blanket ban all talk of JK Rowling. According to the moderating team, there are two "conflicting responsibilities". They have to "ensure that [trans people] are treated with respect," and they have a responsibility to "those in the general gaming community who just want to talk about a video Game they're excited for." To try and juggle these two, the team has decided to put the ban in place to help stave off transphobia while still letting discussion of the game take place, "Many Redditors have concerns about Rowling's views, particularly as they relate to the Trans community. However, without fail, any discussion of those concerns has been met with hostility, contempt, and transphobia from the greater Reddit community."
