I'll tell you where I'm at, and then we'll just go from there. On Monday, I was like "Man, boycotts don't work," and that's because it's a, you know, capitalist lie and all this stuff, and since then I've sort of changed my mind a little bit on that based on the reaction to it. Now the game is very successful. It's making a lot of money, and I think the realization came when it's like... no one was ever going to be able to stop that. Really what you could really do is... It's the equivalent of a protest getting in the road and annoying people. Yeah, maybe things can be a little annoying sometimes, and does that fix anything now? No, but I think it does have a long term effect, and I'll just speak for myself. If Warner Bros. ever came to me and was like, "Hey, would you want to take money to advertise something Harry Potter-related on your stuff?" No way. Would never ever do it. You know, I was already leaning in that way, but I can be 100% confident about that because of this whole entire reaction that's happened. To me, that is the needle moving in the right direction slowly over time, and I think that can happen in terms of the estimation of Harry Potter as well. The series and then how that reflects on JK Rowling. If we look at like who is championing this now, yeah, there are some normal people out there, but it's also Ben Shapiro out there taking victory laps, and in my opinion, I think that makes it seem very uncool, and I think that can have a long term effect as well, and if that's the goal here to diminish JK Rowling's stature so that we can diminish the things she says that are transphobic, then I do think things are working.
