Apparently Rupert Grint respects JKR but still felt he needed to speak out

[CaribGrackle]

in support of transgender people when all the other Harry Potter ingrates were piling in.

"But yeah, I think also you can have huge respect for someone and still disagree with things like that...

Sometimes silence is even louder. I felt like I had to because I think it was important to. I mean, I don’t want to talk about all that… Generally, I’m not an authority on the subject"

Clearly not.

Hm. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, and all that. What a disingenuous arse.

Knob.

I'd love to know which part of what she said he disagreed with. I bet his opposition goes about as deed as chanting TWAW like all the other sheep.

*deep

Does he have a new product to sell? Who are his target audience? Surely not the woke crowd who grew up with him?

Sometimes silence is even louder.

Well quite.

You were pretty fucking silent when JKR was having threats of death, rape, physical and sexual violence thrown at her left right and centre weren't you Rupert?

Prick.

Wanker.

Dickwadge.

What a vacuous prick.

Oh look, silly little arsehole has got wind of the Fiennes comment and is cautiously backtracking. Unfortunately he can't act for shit, so all a bit academic.

Hypocrite. Just own your bullying behaviour, Grint, and stop trying to have your cake and eat it too.

Grubby little arse hat

I hope you never get any other acting work, snivelling weasel

Stay bitter friends

Please someone ask him if he agrees with removing women’s rights and language then. Ask him has he discussed JK’s words with his mother?

Ha Clymene "weasel" is the word that immediately came to my mind.

He's realised that the direction of the wind might change and is now hedging his bets. His intervention needs to be included in the next edition of the OED under "craven".

Oh just stop talking man 🤦🏻‍♀️

I can just see it.

Wednesday: Dad, why did you contribute to the erosion of women which means as an actress the pay gap doesn't exist so I have no way to challenge how underpaid and underrepresented I am?
Rupert: Generally, I’m not an authority on the subject.
Mum: Eye roll.

Have any of these actors actually read what she's written? Can one of them be specific about the transphobic bits, because I've looked and they're not jumping out at me.

He said what he needed to say so the trans lobby didn’t bombard him with hate mail.

He’s a coward.

Tom Felton is the only 'youngster' from the hogwarts massive not to jump on the denounce JK Rowling bandwagon now gets abuse from the wokerati- called traitor/trabsphobe etc.
Only one I would have respect for!

Has the little rat actually spoken out in support of the people - actual real people - who have received death threats, dogs abuse, photos of their kids published...? Or just to some people who got offended?

I suspect not. The have have been told it’s awful, so that’s ok.

I for one never check gossip or rumours. Much more fun to take as gospel what I read on twitter or on a meme.

You can almost hear his head swivelling between the Watsons and Radcliffes and the grown ups
Fiennes and Coltranes trying to decide who he should agree with. Little shit.

What a stereotype. A young man with no knowledge on a subject doesn't let that hold him back from correcting an older woman.
