Just want to make sure I have that right. He spoke up so now they are making shit up to try and defame him? Do I have this bullshit right?
He also spoke up about palestine so that could have something to do with it
All my homies vote for Pedro.
The fact that people take JK Rowling seriously saddens me.
Yep
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
Your post has me realizing how much I don’t give a shit about.
I genuinely struggle to come up with a topic for a news article more mind numbingly uninteresting than celebrity drama.
Why are you in the comments section, then?
I just wanted to chime in to posture with my superiority
I honestly don’t even know who Pedro Pascal is.
damn, how much arch are you using?
I don’t even get the reference because I stopped in for context but there is none because I still don’t know who that is.
An actor single handedly keeping a good 40% of the LGBTQ community off the ledge right now. Also he played The Mandalorian, and is a very vocal supporter of queer / trans rights (his sister is trans)
That helps immensely. I still don’t get how Arch is involved.
i was just joking around. prev comment said he didnt care. some one replied welcome to lemmy( your just like us). lemmy is filled with linux users. you said you dont know who we are even talking about. and i made the joke that you are that deep into linux you barely come up for pop culture.

Oh, wow, how is he doing that?
He’s a pretty famous actor. With two popular shows running simultaneously (sort of) that contain him.
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.
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?
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?”
Crabs in a bucket.
I’m certain many of the people that think PP is overexposed feel the same about TS
I thought the breakout was Narcos.
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.
Yep doing drag shows because it’s funny is the opposite of accepting trans people. It mocks them, and women too.
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.
I agree, I wasn’t referring to actual drag performances, but to men dressing up as women only because they think it’s funny!
I don’t really necessarily have a problem even then. Manly men dressing up in dresses is funny because it pokes fun at masculinity, not at trans people.
I think it makes more fun of feminity than masculinity.
Granted it does both for sure.
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.
It’s truly beyond me how people have the energy to keep with celebrities
Since it’s beyond you, I’ll take the time to explain. Different people have different values. Some people think it’s interesting to pay attention to the intersection of culture and politics… so they take their energy that isn’t devoted to the necessary tasks of staying alive and devote some of it to following this.
Some people take that energy and participate in online communities. Instead of devoting that energy to that intersection, they post and comment. Its their energy and their value system.
Some people aren’t interested in either. I hope this simple answer has bought it into your range of understanding.
Dude is chill and she is not. That is enough for me.
This like when they cancelled James Gun and got him fired from Marvel? I haven’t seen anything about Pedro Pascal.
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.
More like astroTERFing amirite?
Federal money should be given to the poor.
Concurrently with the release of the unredacted Epstein files.
… And with pertinent Trump entries in bold of course.
Please don’t capitalize that fucker’s name. He doesn’t deserve it.
Bold isn’t capitalized. It’s all one case, very thick. Lower case bold is fine. Just make sure we see it
I don’t hate the guy I just think he’s a boring actor.
Yup.
He’s not bad but he’s doing Nick Cage level of shit. He is put in roles he’s clearly unfit for. So many characters which HAVE to be charesmatic… But he simply isn’t.
He needs to start picking his roles wiser.
He and Nic are both incredible in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, imo.
What’s with people and celebrities? Go live your life.
who could hate daddy?
