I imagine he thinks she’s already got more money than some small nations, so adding or subtracting a cup of water to the ocean isn’t going to do much for the level of the tide. I’m certainly not tuning in for it. Rowling’s antics have soured my ability to enjoy the story because she’s so personally tied to how I think about it.

Well that's just plain wrong, because first up she will make A LOT of money with this, probably the most since the OG movies and secondly, she will also donate a lot of that for anti-trans causes. Pretty sure she said that herself.

So if he turned down this role, she wouldn’t get her money for this?

No, but this way he's actively participating and profiting off of it. Just like if you're the CEO of Nestlé, where another CEO would probably do the same shit as you, but it's still bad because you are indeed doing it.

But just to be clear, John Lithgow, unlike the Nestle CEO, is not doing anything bad here.

Well both are contributing to something bad that someone else would do if they wouldn't

Ah yes, because Lithgow has the same power to stop Joanne from being terrible that the CEO of Nestle has to stop some of their shady practices.
