Eddie Redmayne reportedly wants JK Rowling sacked from Fantastic Beasts!

[Alltheprettyseahorses]

I really hope this isn't true because this is the brass neck to beat all brass necks (link credit to several lovely Twitter posters) www.looper.com/217223/eddie-redmayne-reportedly-wants-j-k-rowling-let-go-from-fantastic-beasts-franchise/

If it is and I were JKR I'd make sure he never worked in film again, not that anyone would want to hire anyone who displayed this appalling behaviour - especially not someone as mediocre as Redmayne.

In his snotty, up-his-own-arse, holier-than-thou comment, he accused JKR of "conflating sex with gender", and says that a "consensus of medial professionals" has confirmed that they aren't the same.

The idiot is actually CONFIRMING what JKR says, and hasn't the sense to realise it, he is so busy being "woke".

Ugh that's such biased reporting.

Oh please, this 'article' is rubbish. Scroll down to see the next one, which is also rubbish.

Let's not give Redmayne a kicking over a clearly fictional piece in a publication that makes the Daily Sport looks like serious commentary.

I agree, he is an odious twerp, but this story looks dubious.

if JKR was in favour of trans rights you'd suddenly think she was overrated and full of herself.

You're dead wrong there.

I still like and respect Margaret Atwood, and read her books, despite her saying TWAW.

Some of us can bear people having differing opinions - even if I would ask her some searching questions if I ever got the chance.

I also haven't denigrated Emma Watson in any way at all (others here may have - that's their call - but I bet no feminist has told her to "suck their dick" because feminists don't tend to do that...) because I actually quite like her. I've seen Emma Watson get horrific online abuse from men, when she spoke at the UN, and awful sexualised attention from men and trolls - upskirting/objectification/talking about when she'll "legal"

It was disappointing to see her in the queue to stab JK in the back. It just makes me despair of some young women a bit - in such a hurry to give away women's rights in favour of trans rights.

One article of dubious credibility and you're all viperish

There is certainly no ‘you’re all’

A number of people have said they don’t believe the article...I don’t believe it cos I don’t think he would be that stupid

But she is in favour of trans rights, she just is also clear that sex and gender are different and both deserve respect and neither are the basis for discrimination or abuse

*Anyway, JK supports trans rights - just not at the expense of women's safety or the understanding that biological sex is a real thing.

I was idly wondering the other day when this talentless mob are washed up if they will capitalise on their HP franchise and go to conventions etc dressed as their characters?

Bet they will

I think it so naive and uneducated, but I didn't really understand what she was saying in her first post? Can someone explain? I'm sorry

He is mansplaining.

JK should get Fionne Orlander a part,
I believe they connected on Twitter. Someone make this happen I’d love it! Fionne would be a perfect transwitch! Maybe she could wear a “transwitches are wizards” slogan twirly badge or something (this is referencing to a photo that got her temporarily barred from Twitter I think, she posted a photo of herself wearing a tshirt referencing herself as male/a man, replete with tiara and full face, and was made to delete it I believe).

Aren’t they off to the pub together (and about a thousand fans of both) after lockdown?

I bloody love Fionne.

JK does support trans rights. She also has the intelligence to understand why there should still be woman only spaces and got told to suck girl dick for it. Self explanatory there all the twitter bully's did was show us she's right

Give the poor chap a break. He's an old Etonian. He'll be crippled with a sense of privilege and entitlement, use to assuming he can demand somebody be sacked. Pip pip.

I doubt this is true tbh but I would imagine he has to be very careful how he handles this as if he’s not 100% on message The Danish Girl will be cited as reasons to cancel him!

"if JKR was in favour of trans rights you'd suddenly think she was overrated and full of herself."

Change 'in favour of' to 'against' and 'you' to 'TRAs' and you've basically got a summary of exactly what happened.

I really, really hated the Danish Girl. The lovely wife was treated so badly. In fact, the way was treated is a parallel to the way women are being treated now by transactivists.

"I still like and respect Margaret Atwood, and read her books, despite her saying TWAW."

Ah I didn't know she'd said that, that's surprising and disappointing, doesn't reduce the quality of her work but it's still disappointing.

How on earth can he get rid of her? It not tricky either he does it or he is breaking the terms of the contract and they could sue him. He is replaceable she is not

But he must know that

It is, mayorquimby - and you're right, it doesn't detract from her work. I got the distinct feeling she may have been talking about the old-school transsexuals, anyway.

Most women were accepting of transsexuals who were attracted to men. It's the self-declared male lesbians and "lady-dick", who shout a lot, that tends to cause women to start to think about pulling up the drawbridge.

Never fails to amaze me he made it in the first place. I can't bear to watch him. Never understood the appeal.

Surely this can’t be true? How does he imagine they will sack the writer/owner/producer of the films?

She isn’t a zillionaire by playing fast and lose with the creative rights to her work. She was involved with casting of the first HP film before they’d even made a penny.

I really, really hated the Danish Girl. The lovely wife was treated so badly. In fact, the way was treated is a parallel to the way women are being treated now by transactivists.

I've also heard this. Haven't seen it, and don't want to.
