Pedro Pascal supports Jimmy Kimmel despite Disney lead roles
Actor is lead star of Disney-produced Star Wars and MCU projects
He just keeps going up in my estimation.
You're viewing a single thread.
Remember a few months ago where there was that weird push to get people to dislike Pedro Pascal for some reason? It didn't even have a source other than "He's popular and in a lot of big stuff, so you must hate him."
The reason was his public support of his trans sister.
Oh, so douchebags hate him.
I know he got in a fight or something with that woman that was on mandalorian and the 1st deadpool over trans rights because he was close to someone trans. I didn't dive deeper into it since there was a clear ones a dirtbag and the other is chill.
No they didnt. They had a conversation, and she thanked him for talking to her. And that was it.
The drama you hear about is from unhinged culture war weirdos, who want a constant battle all the time. What did happen, was that they started hounding her to put her pro nouns on her twitter bio. She said no, and they started sending her abuse tweets. A LOT of abuse tweets. At that point she put "beep/bop/beep", which she explained at droid noises. But the culture warriors accused her of anti trans hate, and making fun of peoples pro nouns, and thats when the rape and death threats started.
Its at this point that she posted the ill conceived post about Nazis creating an atmosphere where it was ok to hate and abuse Jewish people, to comment on the abuse she was getting and that twitter was doing nothing about it other than deleting the posts.
The long and the short of it is that she posted a lot of really dumb right wing shit, and people went after her for it. And it got so bad that rape and death threats happened. This, IMO, was a too much. And everyone agreed when it happened to Laura Bailey, but for some reason, Gina chats shit so its fine that shes gets rape and death threats...
Her posting the picture of the Jewish woman running through the streets though... That was right up there with Kevin Spaceys "I dont remember that happening, but if it did, Im sorry. Oh, and Im gay by the way.".
Pronouns has no space in it, BTW.
He seems like a nice dude, but you never know, honestly.
I love Conan, for example, and have been watching his show and listening to his podcast for years now, but I won't delude myself into thinking I know him or what he stands for in his personal life.
Ya but Conan doesn’t stick his neck out to support marginalized people like Pascal does. I don’t know him personally, but all evidence points to Pascal being a good person.
Now, Im not making a connection here, so dont take it that I am. Im only addressing your point.
Jimmy Saville. Put his neck out for kids for decades. Raised multiple millions over 40 years for various childrens charities and hospitals. Had tv shows, that made the wishes of children come true. Like meeting their heroes, or having once in a lifetime adventures.
The whole time, he was raping kids. 40 fucking years of being a nation hero, and as soon as he died, it all came out. Generations of people LOVED that man. And he was one of the most prolific child molesters to ever have lived.
mohab is right. You dont know any of these people. Grace Kelly once said “Hollywood amuses me. Holier-than-thou for the public and unholier-than-the-devil in reality.”. Do we really think thats changed? I mean, they all said nothing while Harvey was raping countless women. Why? Because their careers were more important. Even going so far as to praise the man in public.
You can like what hollywood people say, but you should never forget that they are always saying things to be popular. Because being popular is what gets you money in hollywood.
The absolute sickest thing about Savile was that he raped girls in hospitals. Like, he went to visit sick kids in hospitals and the people running the hospitals left him alone with the kids, knowing fully what he was going to do. It's not just that Jimmy Savile was so disgusting, it's that he was enabled by so many people for such a long time.
The Saville stuff was well known in the industry I think.

It was. Theres many examples of people eluding to things, but not actually outright saying them. The reason being that the liable laws in the UK are that you need to prove what you are saying is true, rather than the American way of doing it which is that they need to prove you are lying.
And while it was an open secret, they all still went on his show, took his requests, and perpetuated the lie that was Jimmy Saville. And thats the real issue. Those who seek fame and fortune have a miserable track record of doing the right thing. They only joined the metoo thing because it was advantageous to their careers. Same with this Kimmel thing. If social media wasnt all abuzz with it, they would be keeping their mouths shout.
I will never, ever, understand why people look to celebrities to get their morality. You'd think the fact that Corey Feldman still cant name the people who raped him and Haim would say it all. Harvey was only the tip of the iceberg.
Pretty sure no one said "hate him", just that he was turning up in everything. If you want to moan about the internet repeating things to a nauseating degree, you have my support. But the line for those things is LONG. And Pedro aint even at the front of the queue. "Nice" is.
I was feeling a bit supersaturated with Pedro Pascal recently, just because Last of Us season 2 had just aired and he was in both the new Fantastic Four movie and Eddington both in theaters at the same time, but I've never had a problem with the guy and I definitely love how outspoken he is about societal injustices.
