why are the default subs like this?

Wow I've had to ban a lot of salty ass Harry Potter fans. Are you all still bitter about not receiving that letter from Hogwarts? Grow the fuck up and read a different book.

If you have to do mental gymnastics to justify why you're giving money to a transphobe, you're probably transphobic. And considering Rowling herself has been throwing tantrums on Twitter over this indicates how much it's really getting to her. Don't be delusional. Buying this game/not buying this game has become a political statement whether you like it or not. The fact that so many of you recognise this and preface your pledges to purchase the game with a meaningless "F- JK Rowling" speaks volumes. It's clear your the sort of people who know what the right thing to do is, but you actively choose to the opposite to satisfy your own individual desires. You're terrible people and it's why we're banning you.

Edit:

Well we've had a lot of fun today folks, mostly me. All you Harry Potter fans proved to be embarrassing as ever. Wanted a fun way to spend the Winter Solstice, what better way than bullying you freaks.

We'd like to thank you all for participating in our little purge. You transphobes just couldn't help yourselves. Always good to do a little cleansing like this, keep this subreddit dirt free. By all means keep continuing to take the bait, we'll be sure to ban you. And I've enjoyed seeing how many of you morons have already apparently pre-ordered. What's that old phrase? "A fool and their money..."

And seriously the amount of hate speech that's been thrown away in this very thread and in our modmail, the fact that you people who insist you need to consume this latest WB product have thrown in with these kinds of people says a lot about your integrity, or rather the lack there of.

Anyway, enjoy wasting $70 on your likely very buggy toy, I hope it's worth it. All us normal people will all be playing games that don't directly fund a prolific transphobe.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to our non-transphobic users.

Praise Marx.

Edit 2:

A final word. It is funny how many assume I'm cisgender or that the other mods are all cisgender. It's also funny the amount of hate speech and death threats I've gotten in my DMs. Just confirms what I already know about the people who are still Harry Potter fans and the people who want to buy this game. To the supposed 'allies' who are probably still lurking, which side are you on?
