Left seething over Keira Knightley’s response to JK Rowling boycott

In case you just woke up and aren’t yet caught up on the outrage of the day, let me save you a trip to social media: Keira Knightley.

Now you’re probably thinking, “The girl who played Elizabeth Swan in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? What could she have done?” and that would be a valid question. Well, she decided to voice Professor Umbridge in the new “Harry Potter” audiobooks, and since the left already hates their author, JK Rowling, for standing up for biological women, the actress was immediately questioned about where she stands on the controversy.

Here is her response:

Keira Knightley says she “was not aware” of any #HarryPotter boycott when she signed on to voice Professor Umbridge in Audible’s upcoming seven-part audio book adaptation of the J.K. Rowling series: https://t.co/OJLE548Yfr pic.twitter.com/unaMY7pQjX

Well, it turns out that a call for unity wasn’t what the left wanted to hear.

Hold up!! What did Kiera Knightly do? Clearly she’s supporting JK on something…no way it’s the trans issue, right? pic.twitter.com/EAVkozxFCp

such an out of touch response, cant just laugh off the fact that JK rowling is funding anti-trans organisations that LITERALLY change laws in the UK…
not a silly goofy giggly laughing matter, it’s people’s lives.

So much for enjoying the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Of course Keira Knightley was fully aware of JK Rowling’s views and the boycott before she took the job on the audiobook. Celebrities at that level are a business with an entire PR team. She’s lying and laughing and telling trans people she couldn’t give a shit about them.

Keira Knightley’s laughter when asked about JK Rowling’s transphobia, is violence disguised as indifference.

Her smug detachment is PEAK white feminism. It’s a shield for transphobia, racism & prejudice; while telling the rest of us that our humanity is disposable.

Disgusting. https://t.co/dEOy0qp8OF

However most X users celebrated Knightley’s refusal to give in to the woke charade:

so her saying, “we’re all going to have to learn to live together” gets this level of corrosive commentary? gees…

The people who hate JK Rowling are the same as Umbridge

They are such rabid piles o’turds. I have zero tolerance for their gaslighting with the “we are being erased” nonsense. Most people are exhausted with their constant demands of being catered to. They’ve overplayed their “accept our delusions or else” cult.
