Edit: /u/bardfinn herself responds
Idea from @AHHHHHHHHH
I messaged ~50 redditors pretending that, for posting in /r/HarryPotterGame, they'll be added to the AHS master block list which causes them to be banned from /r/gaming and /r/wifebeaters. The only way to free themselves is to submit proof of refund and an apology to /u/bardfinn.

Not a random Redditor from the subreddit, but an actual message from /r/againsthatesubreddits. I reported the message, I couldn't figure out how to report the actual sub though. As if this is a hate subreddit.

Final bait message (I had a few changes since the start)
(title) Important Message from /r/AgainstHateSubreddits
Rockwood is the one who cursed Anne and blamed the goblins for it.
Eleazar Fig dies, this happens in all possible endings.
You're receiving this message because you've recently participated in /r/HarryPotterGame, despite the (now well-known and inexcusable) fact that money spent on HP legacy goes to J.K. Rowling who notoriously opposes trans rights. If you actually support the LGBTQIA+ community, you would refund this game and donate to a much better cause (such as trans equality). Not only is this game transphobic, but it has plenty of anti-semitic dogwhistles (especially regarding goblins).
Ignorance isn't an excuse, there are thousands of other, more enjoyable and inclusive games to choose from. If you refuse to provide proof of your refund you will be added to the r/againsthatesubreddits inter-subreddit master block list designating you a hate actor - this bans you from all subs which share moderators with AHS (r/pics, /r/gaming, /r/videos, /r/AdviceAnimals, /r/politics, /r/news, /r/worldnews, /r/wifebeaters)
Please send proof of your refund to /u/bardfinn (who is a trans woman), along with a personal apology to her.
I just messaged whoever sneeded the most about the public backlash on the game, and all new posters. I should have made an alt account that complained about receiving the message... the gaming post produced more drama than all the DMs.

bardfinn is a mentally ill man, he will never be a woman
statistically speaking bardfinn's life will likely end in suicide which i am now psyched about tbh
this makes me feel bad if it's true, so I'll pretend it isn't

Iirc she was targeting a specific group rowling hateing HP fans when she said that you should not be a hypocrite by enjoying her franchise and ip’s or things clearly inspired by hers while calling her racist terf bigot who should be culturally enriched, basically giving the go ahead to trains that enjoying Harry Potter is a stamp of approval of being a crypto-transphobe and right to harass people playing a video game.
I don’t remember hersaying anything about donating to specific organizations to spite trains but she probably did say that proceeds go to biofoid focused charities which would cause seethe

she opened a private womens shelter thats doesn't allow mtfs and kept it private / not a charity so it wouldn't be subject to scotlands laws.

How come she would want to avoid it being subject to charity laws?
Also, I’m not sure game revinue would be used as proceeds for her shelter beyond already adding to her personal income and wealth and if it were I don’t think it would qualify as an “anti-trans organization” beyond not letting trains in
