At least three of the protesters wore shirts that said “Rowling Money Kills” and one activist used a bullhorn to read a statement, sometimes unintelligible through the noise and shouting of the moment, to those present.

“She would rather police women’s space than support her trans sisters when they are under attack,” that person can be heard saying.

Good, wish more people would raise awareness about her.

    Everyone has to make choices, and it's not always easy. I guarantee that you give money to companies that take some of that money and use it against human rights, against trans rights specifically. Just because most corporations do and very very few get the limelight.

    That said, I do agree with your comment, and I personally boycott JK Rowling. And I do judge others that choose not to, but I recognize that I don't boycott every person or company that I know does bad things.

    “When trans rights are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back!”

    The masked protestors laid down on the red carpet

    Noticed that and it amused me. But silliness aside, rock on, y'all!

    I hope she turns inside out slowly.

    Jake Rowling? Never heard of him.

    He likes to be known as Robert Galbraith, so we shouldn't deadname him. We should also remember that the namesake was the man who invented Conversion Therapy, and was just a thoroughly awful man.

    So, even when it's subhuman trash like Rowling, and even given all the egg shit she's said over the years, it's still not cool to deliberately misgender someone with the intent of denigrating them. Even that scag. Make fun of her for being a thin skinned mold riddled bigot instead.

    This is great to see. I looked to the entire cast a month ago just so I know which people to hate on now.

    That Shaun of the dead "friend" stood out to me as a shock. What a little bitch he is.
