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.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 217 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] frosty99c@midwest.social 168 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks 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.

The fact that people take JK Rowling seriously saddens me.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 53 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 87 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

Your post has me realizing how much I don't give a shit about.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 25 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I genuinely struggle to come up with a topic for a news article more mind numbingly uninteresting than celebrity drama.

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

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 79 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 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.

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

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 2 weeks 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?

can someone fill me in please, I missed the while situation save a couple memes.

[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 117 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 55 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

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.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 weeks ago

I'd be happy if Pedro was my brother. I'd never stop smiling

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 47 points 2 weeks ago (11 children)

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.

This like when they cancelled James Gun and got him fired from Marvel? I haven’t seen anything about Pedro Pascal.

[–] dexa_scantron@lemmy.world 43 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They've been accusing him of being too grabby with his women co-stars (no evidence of this, and the co-stars in question say he isn't) and whining that he's just in too many movies/shows these days (no more than other prolific actors). Smells like astroturfing and surprise, it is.

It certainly puts it in new light the same way everyone randomly coming out to say they hate Coldplay after some CEO was outed as having an affair during one of their concerts.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 69 points 2 weeks ago

Hey! I hated Coldplay way before that shit happened, plus them outing a shitty ceo actually made them slightly cooler.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 45 points 2 weeks ago

Ehhhh honestly saying that you hate Coldplay has been a thing for quite a while. They're a highly successful pop act that is well past the peak of their popularity, that's just gonna happen

X&Y is still a great album though

[–] SpoonyBard@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Weird, I haven’t heard anyone say they hated Coldplay for this. In fact, I’d say that Coldplay is one of those bands that is regularly hated on, well before any of the cheating CEO and now, if anything, Coldplay is more liked, even if indirectly just because the situation was funny and meme’d so much.

As far as I can tell, Coldplay only have the one song, that they take apart and reassemble in different configurations. They are the musical equivalent of beige, and appeal solidly to the middle-classes. Hating Coldplay has been the thing to do for decades. It’s music for people who know nothing about music.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 13 points 2 weeks ago

That's odd that you'd describe them as Nickelback or worse, modern country music, when part of why they've gained and lost fans over the years is because their albums tended to have different sounds to them.
