Scientists should do some research and find out the specific dollar amount that turns someone into an asshole

Fuck off. People like JK result in human rights being taken away from our fellow people, and ultimately, dead trans folks.
**Dead trans kids.**
And a bunch of actors were happy to take part so long as they get their precious paycheck and their beloved screentime. JK is a bigot and you’re putting money in her pocket, and dead people are the result. Get fucked.

It should read: Much of JK Rowling’s views ARE twisted, and she misrepresented common sense and human decency.
Like leave us out of your desperate attempts to get away from all the backlash you’re (rightfully) getting

Is the check that good? Or did she threaten to sue him for being just a _little_ critical before?

He’s been such a let down given I love him as an actor.

Translation: “*I know she seems terrible enough that I should’ve skipped the paycheque in the name of human decency. But! Actually! She’s not. Even if she seems that way every single time she talks, tweets or spends money. So there. Please don’t look into it. Also stop asking me questions while I’m Scrooge McDucking my way around my new swimming pool. Thanks.*”

Is this objectively untrue?
Like didn’t she start by seemingly making a point about women’s shelters that wasn’t too hard to empathise with based on her experiences, and then it just snowballed into frothing at the mouth insane transphobia.
Am I misremembering this? I remember people’s opinions changing on her stage by stage iirc not like she made a hard position and never left from it. Though at this point what shes herself said is what people are angry about not how it’s represented.

Such a bummer that he turned out to be a sellout especially after he played a trans woman in the World According to Garp.

I actually hate when people do this shit for multiple reasons but particularly because in this example, there’s no way you can say that it’s been twisted. She is so blatant and clear with her bigotry.

She is a professional writer. She is capable of expressing herself clearly and she very much has. STFU, John Lithgow.
Vantriss on
Honestly, I question the moral standing of every adult that decided to act in this show. JK is so reprehensible. Her content doesn’t deserve a second run around. The only ones I don’t blame are the children. They don’t know any better.

Prewarning: “Opinions” like being transphobic are pretty terrible especially nasty throw away comments from a public figure. That being said, this isn’t just someone who is kind of an annoying bigot, this is a person, a billionaire, funding anti trans legislation and hate groups. Piss off Lithgow.
Roberta Muldoon is very looking very disappointed in Lithgow right now
cryABOUTitYOUlilCUNT on
To anyone that thinks that people like Rowling and her ilk will stop at our trans friends and doesn’t care about the issue. To this very day, she harasses Imane Khelif who’s a cis woman with masculine features. That’s all she needs. If a woman doesn’t look like what she thinks they should she will ruin their life. So fuck her, Lithgow and every actor, actress, producer, writer, whoever that works or associates with her.

He could have easily said “No comment.” and while that would have been a cop out, it would be better than this. Just say you have nothing to say at the *very least*. If you get pressed just say you support trans rights and leave it there.

All actors need to start shutting the fuck up about EVERYTHING that isn’t in their line of work. I’ve met many actors in my life and they are the dumbest, most self-absorbed fuckers you’ll ever know.
