Would it be justifiable to organise a campaign to get people to unilaterally rip the books of a certain author from the book shelves given their repugnant views? I have been mulling this question over for a while. Obviously all art should be respected, whoever it is by; but JK Rowling is now such a transphobic bigot that the thought of anyone buying her fourth rate crap, let alone reading it, is too much for me to tolerate. Her views are now so repugnant that she does not deserve anyone’s money, much less our respect. She should never have been published in the first place, but if you ask me anyone who cares about the rights of transpeople and civil rights in general, has a duty to go into any book shop they can and rip the Potter books from the shelves. That at least would show our distaste for the hatred and bigotry Rowling has been spewing. It may cause trouble or look unseemly, but surely we must show our objection to what she has been spouting.
