Oxfam sorry for Pride Month animation featuring 'hate group' character who some say resembles JK Rowling
Oxfam has apologised after posting an animation for Pride Month featuring a character in a "hate group" who some say resembles author JK Rowling.
In trying to make a point about "the real harm caused by transphobia", Oxfam said it had "made a mistake". Oxfam has now removed the section featuring two angry men and a woman alongside fingers pointing at rainbow-coloured figures. Oxfam has been criticised by both those offended at the original video and those who say the charity bowed to pressure by re-editing it.
