Activists and fans are calling for a boycott of J.K. Rowling's new project, urging people not to watch the trailer or promote it. The backlash stems from Rowling's sustained anti-trans statements and donations to groups that oppose transgender rights. Social media responses have been vitriolic, including personal attacks and demands to refuse even leaked material. The boycott aims to reduce audience numbers, hurt revenue, and intensify debates over creators' accountability for their politics.
