"everybody's darling keira knightley as the character everyone in and out of universe hates" would be such a funny casting choice if it was basically any other ip than harry fucking potter

Apparently trans people should figure out how to live with billionaires who want them exterminated so Keira doesn’t have to feel guilty for taking blood money.

Keira Knightley said that before joining the voice cast of Audible's Harry Potter: The Full Cast Audio
Editions, she was "not aware" of the fan boycott of all things Harry Potter over J.K. Rowling's statements about the transgender community:

"You know, I think we're all living in a period of time right now where we're all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren't we? And we've all got very different opinions. I hope that we can all find respect."

A line drawing of a British cop with the words popo on his helmet. Around him, in comic sans, it says:

stop, this protest is illegal!

you're only allowed to protest against the government if the government says it's okay!

yes I know the point of protests is to cause disruption to incite those in power to make a change

but you're causing too much disruption now and it's starting to annoy those in power so stop pls

Do not watch the HBO series.

I usually don't judge too much, I get that not everyone is fully in the loop for everything. If you support JKR now, we are done.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

und nur damit das klar ist: ich will nichts hören von wegen "wie kannst du jemandem derartige gewalt antun wollen".

was die bundesregierung tut, ist gewalt. es ist politische gewalt, unter der die ärmsten und schwächsten unserer gesellschaft leiden und leiden werden. man erntet was man sät.
