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)

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.

[–] luminaree@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours 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 4 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 5 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Phantasms are one hell of a drug.

It’s exhausting, because once you debunk them on something, they just move on to something else. It’s easy to just make up shit, it takes work to prove it wrong. There’s no guarantee anyone sees the debunking either.

It's truly beyond me how people have the energy to keep with celebrities

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

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 15 points 17 hours 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 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Pretty sure she uses magic to type, she would just have her patronus do it for her

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 hours ago

TYPUS TRANSPHOBIUS!

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Maybe Barty Crouch has a cunning solution to keep her quiet.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 17 hours ago

She wishes she tried to fuck with the oncoming storm.

She went after Tennant's kid instead.

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

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.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I thought the breakout was Narcos.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 50 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

its because he supports his trans sibling, the current flavor of hate is transphobia of right wingers.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

That makes him even better in my book.

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

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 6 points 11 hours 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?"

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

I'm certain many of the people that think PP is overexposed feel the same about TS

The fact that people take JK Rowling seriously saddens me.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 50 points 1 day ago

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

[–] msmc101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 80 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

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 227 points 1 day 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.

[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 148 points 1 day ago

All my homies vote for Pedro.
