She also seems to be a bit of a Twitter bully, unleashing her army of followers on anyone she decides deserves it.īut sure, she’s one of the most successful authors (different to best, obviously) to have lived, and had enough money that she could donate loads to charity and not notice any difference. For daring to not agree with her deranged rantings. Someone then questioned him over retweeting her (as if he would ever agree with her less sensible views) and he made it quite clear that “trans women are real women”.Īt which point she deleted the nice things she said about him. An author who clearly likes her work (a few Harry Potter references in the later Dark Tower books). Like the time she tweeted something vaguely sensible and Stephen king retweeted it. Sometimes in a somewhat deranged and unusually obsessed with the issue way. The sources say that, while management has been resistant to this, character customisation is currently in the game. This includes pushing to have the character customisation included in the game and for a transgender character to be a part of the game world. The leak seems to be from insiders hoping to rehabilitate the game’s reputation and emphasise that some parts of the team are fighting to make it as inclusive as they possibly can.
have been cagey about if she will receive royalties and Leavitt’s position in the game’s development is not an encouraging sign. When some fans of Harry Potter already have a difficult time separating Rowling’s statements from the wider work in the fictional world, Warner Bros. In fact, the only reason why this is being brought up, it seems, is because of Rowling’s transphobic public statements that were widely denounced, and the recent discovery that a producer on the game, Troy Leavitt, made YouTube videos with an anti-feminist and pro-Gamergate stance prior to getting the job. It’s not clear if you will be able to create a character that identifies in the game as being trans, or choose pronouns beyond this, but it’s about as inclusive as you could expect from a typical video game. While there are still some notable examples which don’t get this right – Cyberpunk 2077 locks gender to voice, for example – it’s something that shouldn’t be seen as remarkable.
