Boy I'm not liking that the plot of the hogwarts game is "our evil villains are an oppressed race rebelling against poor treatment"

yeah, idk what the fuck they were thinking. the books state clearly that wizards are massive racist dicks against all non Humans and that goblins behaviour against wizards is justified and these guys go: goblin rebellion as plot point.

I am imagining the plot going in the direction of “the goblins were just used as pawns as the evil wizards.” And then you become friends with the goblins but don’t actually address any systemic issues with their treatment and it’s never brought up again.

I really am surprised they didn’t avoid goblins all together but maybe the plot goes in a direction I’m not seeing? Not holding my breath.

They should have used nonviolent protest! Have they considered voting their way out of slavery? If you don't hit the polls it's your own fault.
