Fuck all these sell-out assholes, pretending like their opinions matter, when they’re still willing to work for her.
Yet her saying this would be noticed by many Harry Potter fans and hopefully make them think. While not taking the role would not communicate anything to the fans
Personally, I’d be much more interested to hear from actors that turned down roles like this, rather than from the ones still profiting from them.
I posted this in !tvmovies@lemmy.dbzer0.com earlier.
Queer Director Ally Pankiw Shows Turning Down Harry Potter Is as Simple as One Text
The director tells Them that the idea of J.K. Rowling being mad at her is “wild” but “also kinda thrilling.”
See? Now that’s the shit I’m talking about. That’s integrity. Good for her.
Every Harry Potter fan I’ve met already prerequisites any talk of the franchise with ‘I don’t agree with Rowling, but…’, they already know, they’d just rather support the eradication of trans people than give up their children’s toys.
Children generally don’t have a clear and settled opinion on trans rights. This actress saying she doesn’t agree with Rowling can make them think, so it is useful for trans rights that she said this
If only they didn’t buy more of that Potter crap be it physical or digital.
Then don’t accept the role. Put your money where your mouth is. Coward.
she put her mouth directly on rowlings asshole
I hope you did full diligence on your employers board of directors.
I must have missed the post where ordnance_qf_17_pounder called out his board of directors publicly on their behaviour.
Still planning on cashing them checks though ain’t ya Bel?
if you are so opposed perhaps you should organise a strike with your coworkers until they introduce a cool trans character into the series. Then watch rowling foam like a rabid rowling.
The video game had trans characters. But hardly anyone was ever mentioning that because the boycott was louder.
and it was still not loud enough, as people still indirectly funded anti-trans policies by buying that game
They’ll just call her Edickth Raperilington, and make her a troll with magical strength.
The solution to the sexual predator author is to not pay attention to the sexual predator author’s words, forever.
But not enough to pass on that fat-ass check
Sounds like they should cancel the series, since it primarily exists to distance Rowling from the naysayers who were in the movies. Now that those in the series are also opposed to her views… what’s even the point anymore?
The primary existence is easy money.
and i heard she is trying to retcon the og actors, and the series with her views.
Not that “strongly” obviously.
Then don’t take the role. Don’t participate in Harry Potter (Joanna’s Version). Don’t feed the machine
It kind of seems like if a vegan worked on a CAFO and processed livestock for slaughter …
Virtue jerking is funny.
Okay so that’s why I don’t recognize her. She’s not a star from Harry Potter the movies, she’s a star from the soon to be released TV series Harry Potter which I guess it going to be a redo of the adaptabarationisms.
You’re partnering with the transphobe to make money! That’s wrong, despite your opinion…
Why is it that everyone associated with Harry Potter gets to be a star? There was a thread yesterday about whoever played Lavender Brown, and she also got called “Harry Potter Star,” even though nobody seemed to remember the character even being in the movies. There has to be a cutoff somewhere.
Lavender Brown is one of the most memorable characters (aside from the core actors) from the movies imo, because she’s black in the first several and the instant she becomes relevant to the story she’s white. They’ve got all kinds of wacky magic in that school
Harry Potter is dead to me. I’m not even going to pirate the tv show. Fuck Rowling
Boycott bigots!
