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?

      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.

        Just here to explain the downvotes: “ChatGPT, come up with a response to someone who dislikes celebrities, use a touch of sarcasm and make the tone slightly condescending in a plausibly deniable way. Make it generic enough it could apply to almost any hobby, in order to trivialize their point”.

    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

    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?

        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?”

      And that’s completely fine, something like that is just a matter of taste anyway. But trying to smear his reputation and spread false shit about him just because someone doesn’t like him? That’s not cool at all - and even worse if it’s just because he’s not a hateful piece of shit!

      Also fuck JK Rowling, that terf bastard deserves nothing but a kick to the shin.

        I feel like that happens any time someone gets over saturated in pop culture.

        Fuck JK Rowling. Bitch never has gotten a dime from me. I hated on that shit in middle/high school when it was coming out.

      I don’t find him boring (yet); I just think he needs to be more selective in accepting roles, considering how distinctive-looking he is.

      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’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.

        Because a lot of people take abuse and turn right around and dish it out to somebody below them. Case in point: Israel vs. Palestine. Much love to Pedro for not perpetuating that cycle, though.

        I didn’t recognize the name either until @[email protected] said who he is, after which my brain cells told me that i knew that before. e: but i’m notoriously bad at remembering actors names and faces - i often do not care enough to remember them, even in stuff i like; if i remember single actors, i stored that information primarily per cultural osmosis.

          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)

        He’s a pretty famous actor. With two popular shows running simultaneously (sort of) that contain him.
