Some have pushed back against the boycott, arguing that choosing to play the game doesn't automatically mean they support the author's statements. She said the game feels too familiar to others in the genre to really stand out, but concluded that its "magical moments and the setting rescue it from mediocrity, but only if the Wizarding World still has you under its spell".
She has spoken against the erasure of women and allowing transgender people access to single-sex spaces. Critics have argued that "diminishes the identity" of trans people. However, she has said she supports trans rights and wants trans people to be free from discrimination and abuse.: "My life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it's hateful to say so.
"The more I listened to the people who were affected and what they had to say, the more it was really not important enough for me to play when my friends were talking about how harmful it was to them."
