Pedro Pascal calls out JK Rowling for anti-trans stance

Last week, Rowling went viral for hailing the landmark ruling, claiming that it “protected” women's rights. She also celebrated the decision with a post on X, which featured her smoking a cigar while holding what appeared to be a cocktail in her other hand.

"I love it when a plan comes together,” the 59-year-old captioned the image. Soon after, activist Tariq Ra’ouf urged people to boycott every “single Harry Potter thing” on Instagram.

“It has become our mission as the general public to make sure that every single thing that's Harry Potter related fails...because that awful disgusting shit, that has consequences,” Ra'ouf said. 
Agreeing with the activist's boycott calls against Rowling, The Last of Us actor commented, “Awful disgusting S**T is exactly right. Heinous LOSER behaviour.”
