Hagrid actor Nick Frost was asked about J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans views recently, and the actor didn’t let a silly thing like worrying about his paycheque get in the way of stating his true feelings.
“She’s allowed her opinion and I’m allowed mine, they just don’t align in any way, shape or form.”
When asked if he fears the debate over Rowling may overshadow the series, Frost said,
“I don’t know,” adding: “But maybe it shouldn’t blow over? We shouldn’t just hope it will go away, because it makes it easier. Maybe we should educate ourselves.”
This is the type of ally we need being given opportunities. Bravo to Nick for speaking up for those who are being scapegoated for the world’s evil simply because they are seen as “different”.
I will not be watching.
If no one watches, the show goes away, and she stops making money.
Which, she has pledged to use the further attack the trans community
WHAT? The type of ally we need???
The type of ally that says one thing and enriches the transphobe so that she can use her money to campaign against trans rights? Am I in bizarro world?
Sorry, Nick. Some of us just don’t care how you feel. Just do the job you’re paid for and convince us to pay to see your performance.
