So the recent hate towards Pedro Pascal is JK and her loyalists making shit up because he spoke out that she's an awful person? (lemmy.world)

Just want to make sure I have that right. He spoke up so now they are making shit up to try and defame him? Do I have this bullshit right?

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.

how willing people are to lie and spread the lies of others in order to justify their hate.

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

[–] luminaree@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yep doing drag shows because it's funny is the opposite of accepting trans people. It mocks them, and women too.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] luminaree@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I agree, I wasn't referring to actual drag performances, but to men dressing up as women only because they think it's funny!

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I don't really necessarily have a problem even then. Manly men dressing up in dresses is funny because it pokes fun at masculinity, not at trans people.

[–] luminaree@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I think it makes more fun of feminity than masculinity.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey now, drag queens and kings aren't the enemy.

[–] luminaree@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

To be clear I never meant to imply that they were, I wasn't talking about actual drag performances. I was talking about men dressing up as women because they think it's funny.

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

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thing is the Potter legacy wouldn’t be crumbling, at least not as much, if she hadn’t chosen to be a complete dickhead.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ayup. Entirely self made problem here.

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 3 points 17 hours ago

Exactly. Imagine having all that money and deciding to fund hate with it?

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (5 children)

You can't go after Tennant 'cause he'll just hop in the TARDIS and undo every point you tried to make

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Or tell her to stick her hand in a blender and stop using it to type bigoted bullshit

The fact that people take JK Rowling seriously saddens me.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 53 points 1 day ago

no they defend her, because shes the terf-queen, transphobes stick together.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 216 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He also spoke up about palestine so that could have something to do with it

[–] frosty99c@midwest.social 166 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 241 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

Dude is chill and she is not. That is enough for me.

[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 155 points 2 days ago

All my homies vote for Pedro.

[–] msmc101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 82 points 1 day ago

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

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 52 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

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?"
