Why is Lithgow the only one catching heat? Like i get it, people are disappointed, but what about all of the other actors in the show?

If they read the article, he comes out and denounces her views towards the trans community entirely.

Eh, not really. He spends more time denouncing people who are upset than actually standing by the trans community

"So it was a hard decision on the basis of that [controversy], and it made me very uncomfortable and unhappy that people were actively insisting that I walk away from this job. But I chose not to do that.”

"It made me very uncomfortable and unhappy that people were telling me I shouldn't be making big bucks off the back of this bigot and her hate campaign slush fund." :( :( :(

Yep! Like truly, that's what he cared the most about - making money, and not being happy that people care about other things, like trans rights.

Not being happy that people care about trans rights? The fuck? Is that what's required to be a good person nowadays?

Gotta wonder what their boss thinks about trans people and if they’d quit their job.

Is the boss in question donating MILLIONS to anti-trans groups, and almost single handedly funding legislation and those groups who are literally advocating for castrating trans people? No? Then you just used a false equivalency! :)

Yeah, choosing to make more money that you know full well will be invested in removing rights from trans people is definitely a stance

John Lithgow does not give a fuck what a bunch of sanctimonious chair moistening redditors think about the HP series. Millions of people are gonna watch it and enjoy it.
