“J.K. Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement."
She does. But those views are harming trans people, and JK Rowling should face consequences for that.

Capitulate or be eaten
We know JK's personal views, and when they continue to pay her to make shows based on her work, instead of un-bigoted writers, we also know theirs.
I took it with a grain of salt but this show has been in the works for a while now with no announcements...
He’s fair as he will critique anyone
And I speak as a trans person who used to love her work! Then I hatched and she revealed herself for the bigot she is :(
"Yeah but what other fantasy series has cool monsters and magic?"
"Literally all of them."
if alternaives are there
I'm not buying some things, mostly for my own sake. like a local cola. still sad theres no cinnamon toast crunch alternative with same texture tho
People who keep trying to blur the lines between the two genuinely deserve the worst.
And HBO has a right to profit from her personal views.
And I have a right to boycott HBO.
My views on JKR are complicated. I don't disagree with everything she says, but she's spread enough false information that she should no longer have a voice on the global stage.
I'm really disappointed by HBO on this one and will voice that with my wallet.
🤔🤔🤔
Set aside that the creator is a raging transphobe (we shouldn't, but if we did), the content simply isn't that good or resonant at this point. We've largely moved past this.
Bigots shouldn't be allowed to spread Bigotry freely
I hope she gets killed by a car or something
