Political views? What, that muggles are second-born citizens? I'm sorry to break it to you, but wizards do not exist in real life, meaning that Malfoy's racism toward muggles and Hatemonger's xenophobia against aliens are not real political views.
You're projecting your own opinions on the artist, which is very cringe and unbased, and I dare even say, bluepilled.

I'm referring to the logic within the world of Harry Potter. Some people use the original Draco's prejudice against Muggles and their obsession with pure blood to make jokes about racial purity with female Malfoy and how she represents western feminity. On the same level as people who posit that My Little Pony is "right wing coded", Animal Crossing is marxist or how "all art is political" when the author wasn't even thinking of that "subtext" creating that piece of media.

The narwhal bacons at night. I stole my shoelaces from the president.

You confuse me greatly. If you know these are jokes, why do you care?

I mean, last time I checked, Princess Celestia was an absolute monarch, and she didn't share her legislative or executive power with a senate or a national assembly, so yeah, I'd buy that the Pony cartoon is actually very right-wing.
Then again, Hardspace Shipbreaker is left-wing, but in the most obnoxious way I ever saw in a video game, so maybe... it's not the message itself but how it's delivered?

"the female version of the character played by an underage boy would be my based trad wife who agrees with political views"

Oh look, more straw manning. What a surprise.

He was a bully and a bigot.

Which is exactly what you call the people who Amelia is supposed to represent. Rowling obviously wrote the purebloods as obvious stand-ins for racists, and Draco calling Hermione mudblood is treated exactly as a racial slur. Stop pretending the parallels aren't obvious.

Oh holy scallop, shanuraru did a gijinka version of Pretzel? That's so adorable, I can't believe such a cutie patootie beat Jay and many others in chess.

Let me yap a little here, and spoilers by the way. By now they must've finished recording the finale of Riptide, as about a week or two ago Griz and Condi (I think it was the two of them) said that they're on their 2nd to last session of Riptide, so I wonder if between #133 and the end of Riptide, has Aurora (Just Roll With It) spoken to Pretzel with 'Speak with Animals.' So we'll technically have a official voice for Pretzel, and a ""official"" humanoid design as well.
