Fuck every single one of these people. I've liked what they've done in the past, but now they're attaching themselves to JKR's bigotry and I'm done with all of them.

Walking this back. I can find a bunch of “I hate Trump” stuff from Lithgow, no “I support Trump” stuff from Lithgow. So until I see some corroboration I’m still a Lithgow fan.
I'm sure that would have been covered in full somewhere in the article. But yes, thank goodness the billionaire writer will have a bigger sack of money to go after already marginalized populations that are undoubtedly already sick and tired of her crap.
Lithgow literally has no excuse. He played Roberta Muldoon in World According to Garp, a kind and positive portrayal of a transwoman in an era when NO ONE else was doing that. He should be fucking ashamed.
Disgusting that the show is even moving forward. Even with all the bigotry aside (not that that's possible), who wants a remake of this story when all the movies are so recent and so beloved? It doesn't make sense on any level
They've never hidden that she feels betrayed by Daniel,Rupert and Emma refusing to follow her ideology, I'm pretty sure this series is an attempt to rewrite history so a new trio will be remembered in their place , it's the only way it makes sense to me...
Jeeze. Guardian there referring to her genocidal rhetoric against trans people as merely "divisive opinions".
"Divisive opinions" is how you describe reactions to marmite. It is not how you describe non-stop years of campaigning against an entire minority existing.
I think I'm most sad about Paul Whitehouse. I really loved his fishing show, not because of the fishing, but because of the positive model it shows of men talking through their feelings and genuinely thoughtful, considerate tone of it.
I'm kinda most annoyed about Paapa Essiedu signing for it because he's a very talented actor and I don't want paapa essiedu in Harry potter jail for the next decade. I'd rather see him do other projects. I'm so over Harry potter and the jk Rowling part is vile. This kinda just sucks to see
Seen him in a couple of things that he was really good in actually (The Lazarus Project in particular) so seeing him accept a role in this project is really disappointing. I can't understand how any actor would think it's a good idea.

John Lithgow's first movie role was of a trans woman in Garp. I've always liked him.
I'm so disappointed in him. No excuses for this choice.
"Divisive opinions" is how you describe reactions to marmite. It is not how you describe non-stop years of campaigning against an entire minority existing.
They understand what they're doing, and it's made worse by pretending to be trans ppl for money when actual Trans ppl should be cast for these roles.
Fuck these ppl through and through.
