Who the fuck cares. He seems like a good dude and we all know she’s a complete piece of shit. Let’s not give her or her shitbag followers oxygen.
He also spoke up about palestine so that could have something to do with it
He's a relative of the Allende family. He spent his childhood as a refugee after the US installed Pinochet and his family had to flee Chile. Idk why his anti imperialism would shock anyone.
US "installed"? Surely not, only bad countries do such things. The US of A is the only beacon of light and freedom and democracy and justice and Good Values^(TM)^ in this world.
Because a lot of people take abuse and turn right around and dish it out to somebody below them. Case in point: Israel vs. Palestine. Much love to Pedro for not perpetuating that cycle, though.
All my homies vote for Pedro.
The fact that people take JK Rowling seriously saddens me.
no they defend her, because shes the terf-queen, transphobes stick together.
Your post has me realizing how much I don't give a shit about.
I genuinely struggle to come up with a topic for a news article more mind numbingly uninteresting than celebrity drama.
Hi, welcome to Lemmy. You're in good company here.
Why are you in the comments section, then?
Yep
yeah he's a great fella as far as we know, his sister is trans and he's a very vocal critic of JKR and other terfs
Pascal is loved and will not tolerate people talking shit about his trans sister.
Rowling at this point subsists on a half assed crumbling potter legacy she's using to fund transphobia. She went after tennant and since that backfired bigtime her calvary of fuckos are now trying Pascal. It will end just as badly and they will never learn
Thing is the Potter legacy wouldn’t be crumbling, at least not as much, if she hadn’t chosen to be a complete dickhead.

You can't go after Tennant 'cause he'll just hop in the TARDIS and undo every point you tried to make
She wishes she tried to fuck with the oncoming storm.
She went after Tennant's kid instead.
Or tell her to stick her hand in a blender and stop using it to type bigoted bullshit

Some people also don’t like it when someone is “overexposed” and in everything. They liked it when he was on the rise, in Game of Thrones and then he broke out with Mandalorian. People were happy because he played the role keeping the helmet on 99% of the season…especially flying in the face of the Halo series a while later.
But because he was now “popular” and appearing in more films and shows, this is bad now.
For some anyway. Not me. I love him still.
its because he supports his trans sibling, the current flavor of hate is transphobia of right wingers.

I personally don't get it. He's successful. It wasn't handed to him like some nepo baby. He worked hard and did great jobs to achieve where he's at.
I honestly don't get it. You can have someone like Taylor Swift who releases an album every couple weeks and if you speak ill of her then you've essentially become Satan. So it's ok for one person to be constantly in the publics face but it's not ok for another person?
if you speak ill of her then you’ve essentially become Satan
I didn't think this was true until I encountered this from my sister-in-law. I just mentioned that I didn't care for her music and suddenly I became a misogynist because there's no other possible reason for not liking the output of the greatest singer and songwriter in human history. I countered with a very long list of women artists whose music I did like and she said those women all make masculine music. I was like "Kate Bush and Tori Amos make masculine music?"

can someone fill me in please, I missed the while situation save a couple memes.
Pedro Pascal's sister is a trans woman. He has been publicly very vocal on the subject of trans rights and inclusion. Consequently, a lot of transphobes, chuds, and miscellaneous fascists have been targeting him for a while and trying to smear his reputation any way they can. I don't really pay much attention to celebrity stuff so I don't know to what extent JK Rowling is personally involved in that, but given that she has been a very outspoken anti-trans bigot for some time, I would not be surprised to learn she was egging her followers on to that end.
Heaven forbid someone even suggests JK isn't an advertiser freindly content creator over her hate speech. Expect the full Karen free speech rant.
Pascal supports his family member, and these troglodytes make it their mission to prevent him from making a living.
I have a rule of thumb in life. If it reminds me of Nazi rhetoric, I stay far away. It is rarely applicable but crucial when it is. I forget sometimes that there are people that not only dont think the same as me, they actually think the opposite.

Just looked his sister up and on the photos she looks happy. I'm happy for her.
I'd be happy if Pedro was my brother. I'd never stop smiling
TERFs will just make shit up. It’s absolutely unhinged. Rowling also has them denying that Nazis killed trans people - they’ve started to claim that the Nazis issued “transvestite passes” (which the Weimar Republic did - famously not the Nazi government) based on a book of photographs someone published of Nazi soldiers doing drag.
The Nazis tortured and murdered trans people. Some did drag because they thought it was funny, heck the US military did official drag shows during WW2. People do drag because it’s funny, that doesn’t mean they accept trans people. It’s unhinged how willing people are to lie and spread the lies of others in order to justify their hate.
Yep doing drag shows because it's funny is the opposite of accepting trans people. It mocks them, and women too.
It’s a performance art, and like any other form of performance it can be used to be shitty, but it’s not inherently mocking of women or trans people. Some of the stuff I’ve seen on RuPaul has made me cringe, but I’ve also seen queens that dress up like church marms and do a Betty Bowers/old school Colbert skewering of the Christian right.

It's simply the required narrative not to call themselves monsters. The bigger the horror, the bigger the lie.

It's truly beyond me how people have the energy to keep with celebrities
Since it's beyond you, I'll take the time to explain. Different people have different values. Some people think it's interesting to pay attention to the intersection of culture and politics... so they take their energy that isn't devoted to the necessary tasks of staying alive and devote some of it to following this.
Some people take that energy and participate in online communities. Instead of devoting that energy to that intersection, they post and comment. Its their energy and their value system.
Some people aren't interested in either. I hope this simple answer has bought it into your range of understanding.
Dude is chill and she is not. That is enough for me.
Federal money should be given to the poor.
What’s with people and celebrities? Go live your life.
