John Lithgow reacted to the open letter mentioned in this article, sent to him by "a very good friend who is the mother of a trans child" by saying "Why is this a factor at all?" and expressing sympathy for the transphobic bigot.

So it's unfortunate that he probably wouldn't know what a social media is if it slammed him right in the asshole - which is the entirety of him - because he certainly sounds deserving of decades of hell. Especially from his now hopefully former "very good friend."

What? You mean a celebrity doesn't really give a fuck about people and just wants to make money? But they were so silly and sweet in their interviews!

Unless this hurts their bottom line, I doubt they'll move. Her behavior is not new and they auditioned and signed the contract anyway, the same way people still buy their house themed merch and take trips to Potter land or whatever the fuck it's called. That woman's growing wealth is a sign of just how little people are willing to give up.

a sign of just how little people are willing to give up.

Also telling a lot about how much many people care about transphobia. Or trans rights at all

Because they're supporting the anti-trans hag?

The parents of the child actors should be getting plenty of pushback. Exploiting their kids like this is gross.

It's like seeing pictures of kids in KKK robes.

Never give these people an inch, or they'll take a mile.

It's always moraly right to pirate any harry potter media.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not this show. Don't pirate it, don't discuss it on social media, don't make memes about it. Let it die because of cultural insignificance.

More morally right to never indulge in any Harry Potter media at all. Don't reinforce the hype by watching that crap, even if by piracy.

[–] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

I don't pirate things I boycott. Professionals have standards.
