At the moment, absolutely. She’s not enough of a liability to eclipse the franchise’s popularity (and frankly, its infrastructure...most of its value is likely tied up in movies, theme parks, and merchandise now.) No, her shitty opinions aren’t going to tank this multi-billion-dollar machine any time soon.

It really says a lot that each time a JK Rowling article comes out, she’s said something even more extremely bigoted.

Harry Potter is obviously popular enough to eclipse the anti-transgender bigotry of its author, but one wonders if her behavior will ever cross a line that becomes a liability to these megacorporations that remain in the Wizarding World biz.

Trans rights are basically at 2004 U.S. elections level right now politically. It’s still an incredibly effect bugaboo for huge swaths of the population, and J/K Rowling can get away with saying “tr*nny” as much as she wants, just like Ann Coulter could call a presidential candidate a “f*ggot” on television back then …

I guess the silver lining is that she’s too busy being a bigot to write any more adult fiction?

It’s in the summary below the title (not sure what the technical term is, would it be considered a lede?), not the main article. And I’m not the only one who parsed it this way.

The subhead contains the phrase “abuse from Tom Holland,” which at first glance can make it sound like he had something to do with the abuse. Reading the subhead in full dispels that notion, of course.

Yeah, it really made it seem like he was the reason for all this. They can fuck off for that. 

I read it that way, too! I was like, “Holy shit, what did Tom Holland do to abuse her!” They got me.

It’s horrible that actors are having to deal with this, and I’m glad to see so that the actor in question is receiving support from her peers. But I’m not sure what any individual or small group of people can do. I do think that there are supportive services like counseling in dealing with this ugly part of social…

I’m not sure it’s so much that we have “amnesia” about Wahlberg’s crimes, as that we’re not sure what consequences you think he should suffer for them now.

I’m not a Wahlberg fan generally, but he’s funny and memorable in the Dignam role. He makes a big impression in a short amount of time on screen, in a cast that is utterly stacked.  Stealing scenes that have DiCaprio, Baldwin, and Sheen in them is quite a feat.

Nevertheless, the focus here should be on Evans

I think the fact that he never booked another major part after this suggests that a lot stronger than what Stone said.

What a thin skinned arsehole.

Good on you all for following up on these folks. I didn’t realize that this investigation had been going on for so long.

This just makes me yearn that we might see Amy Seimetz’s original vision.  The series was reportedly 80 percent complete when she left/was sacked, and they started all over.

Have you met Sam Levinson and The Weeknd? This is absolutely dead serious. You can 1000% tell that this show was written from the male gaze, their gaze. The male fantasy in her outfits and scenes are so dead obvious. If this were the 80s-2000s, this would be straight up Skinemax softcore porn.

Hopefully this is the final nail in the coffin of pretending that Sam Levinson has anything interesting or even worthwhile to say (which somehow hasn’t happened despite him writing and directing an absolute navel-gazing turd like Malcom & Marie). I like Euphoria but it’s carried entirely on the shoulders of its…

So instead of this why don’t you recap Silo since that’s actually good?
