Then don’t accept the role. Put your money where your mouth is. Coward.

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.
kuiskaaja@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
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.

Then don’t take the role. Don’t participate in Harry Potter (Joanna’s Version). Don’t feed the machine

Not that “strongly” obviously.

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…

Harry Potter is dead to me. I’m not even going to pirate the tv show. Fuck Rowling

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

Fuck all these sell-out assholes, pretending like their opinions matter, when they’re still willing to work for her.
Curiositymonger@reddthat.com 1 month ago
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
Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
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.

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 toys.
