"I can't understand the vitriol directed at her," says the 'Harry Potter' actor.
The actor who played the villainous Lord Voldemort across four Harry Potter films expressed sympathy for the franchise author, who has come under widespread criticism for her comments.published Wednesday."I can understand the heat of an argument, but I find this age of accusation and the need to condemn irrational. I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language towards others, disturbing.
The controversy began in June 2020, when the author first tweeted about an op-ed piece regarding “people who menstruate" and mocked the story for not using the word"womenThe tweet generated backlash, which promoted the author to repeatedly and ever more adamantly defend herself and elaborate on her views, and eventually resulted inIn essence, the author insists"I know and love trans people" and that she's"been empathetic to trans people for decades," yet also...
The Harry Potter actors have avoided the specifics of the debate, but issued statements of trans community support in reaction to the controversy.
Good for him
what’s the point of this tweet? Do y’all support her as well?
Good For Him!! 👏
Unbelievable this woman is still able to sell books. Imagine thinking there's only two genders?
When voldemort is the only one defending you, you know you fucked up...
It's not like he's having a career after voldemort, right?
She wrote a terf manifesto. Lol
Finally someone who has common sense than jumping to criticize someone.
heysk1es ai a gente vai ter que transformar a nossa apresentação de s.d em um evento anual... pq ó as merdas que eu tenho que ler a essa hora da manhã

“I find this age of accusation and the need to condemn irrational,' it’s sooooo true!
JK Rowling is stating biological facts.. women being females have different experiences from those of trans women, and the trans activists should respect the boundaries & rights of women
One of the few normal, there
It's people's right to speak out against Rowling. If people feel her views are transphobic (not saying they are), they're entitled to express those views. I feel like complaints about 'cancel culture' sometimes come from people that just don't want there views criticiqued.
Respect ✌️
How is it disturbing that people reacted to her transphobia, but not disturbing that she was so transphobic?
i find his hairline disturbing.
No one would be directing any vitriol at her if she would just stop attacking a vulnerable community
Both are privileged white cis heterosexual rich people. 🤷🏻♂️
Congratulations bitch, you just got endorsed by fucking Voldemort
Much respect for Ralph Fiennes for not cowing to the mob.
Nothing screams reasonable debate quite like consistently misrepresenting trans women as murderous men in costume.
Finally someone with some common sense and reason.
seems valdemort is real then....
I can't understand why his hairline isn't receding faster but maybe that's just an old pic
He is going to cancel by the left mobs
Oh good, 58 year old straight white guy
He played Voldemort, are we really surprised?
Embarrassing
Eff Ralph Fiennes
Screw Voldemort
What JKR has experienced for standing up for women’s safety is abhorrent and a perfect illustration how women are being treated by trans radicals.
Wow! So she's condemned for having an opinion in this case. While I accept any person's choice of what they identify as, I do take issue with allowing men to enter the ladies bathroom and vice versa.
No the “backlash” is not disturbing, her transphobic ignorant remarks and beliefs are. 🙄
There are a bazillion more important issues on the planet that need dealing with than anything to do with Trans people. Anyone who wants to play fantasyland and pretend they are a different gender take their chances. They know that 99% of people on the planet won't accept them.
I guess I'd also be worried about living in an 'age of accusation' if I was listed in Epstein's flight logs
Oh Jesus, will there be online petitions to have him digitally removed from No Time To Die?
Gee, I wonder if he finds the murder of many trans folk “disturbing” as well...🙄
It is, some people want to believe the lie that you can just magically become a woman
I'm not a fan of JK basically going out of her way to malign trans people considering what they face, but I also know that Ralph doing this takes some balls considering the world we live in now.
Good man! Totally agree. Complete saddos all of them. How they even got this far in life is beyond normal people.
WOMEN speaking seems to be a problem for a lot of men/women supporting the trans community. The way they harrassed JKR was disgusting.
Cancel culture is stupid especially coming from the same people who defends Woody Allen and Polanski but a woman speaks her mind and everyone attacks her. 🙄 What ever happen to freedom of speech ?
Lovely news! Good man.
Once Voldemort, always Voldemort I guess
Validating “opinions” that contribute to violence again trans people is disturbing, normalize calling out the violence against marginalized peoples, including white women who make you money Ralph.
Dude. What a dumbass.
Thank you! Finally a man with guts and spine who dare to speak out against the hatred she received. It IS disturbing. Remember him from the English Patient and Schindlers List, and tons of other movies. 😻
Why would I care what that dork thinks
Oh cool. A cis man defends a cis woman. Nobody listens to trans people. Is this even news at this point?
Says the pig, rich white man in defense of the pig rich white woman.
oh no
Fiennes could have been a little stronger. 'Disgusting' comes to mind. The gender dysphoria crowd gets way too much attention.
One of the good guys 👍🏻
Aye, but the thinks is name isn’t RALPH too
Just imagine being Ralph Fiennes, John Cleese, J.K. Rowling and being so bigoted that you think trans women standing up for themselves, against bigotry, is 'disturbing'.
Her misleading and harmful statements are 'disturbing'
Would that it were so simple.
I find it more disturbing that a billionaire has decided to devote all her free time to hating some of the most marginalized people in society, but then I'm not a wealthy actor
Ralph –
Jk Rowling 🤝 Voldemort Being transphobic
So his name is pronounced with an L.
Who
Wow, it feels like the levels of transphobia being exported have hit new all time highs since Brexit...
That's the way Brits are, racist, transphobic, homophobic, antisemitic, etc. Words have consequences. You can apologize and donate to charities that supports lgbt initiatives if you make a mistake. It's the new way to put down groups of people. Insinuate something that's harmful.
'I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language towards others, disturbing' What a dignified man. G
Our generation doesn’t get because it wasn’t an option and don’t think it should be now.
'Disturbing' is when 'just your opinion' excludes so many people...
Ok so Voldemort was autobiographical for him.
I always liked him. Good man.
He should have passed on this one.
'Voldemort' of all people agrees.
Why Ralph? Why are you defending that TERF?
Violence is what transgender women experience every day. Sorry if I'm not compassionate for the plight of a billionaire writer.
Why does he care wtf JK is doing. 😂
He’s trash too. Da phuck
Ralph is a great actor, and a great man.
Um? These are peoples lives. Promoting violent lies about trans people gets them killed. That’s disturbing.

🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
He's in four films, not eight. I know this obscure lore is extremely difficult to fact-check as few people have seen the films and there is little record but trust me...
classic Voldemort
Even Ralph know this is disturbing. People were actually threatening her life. Crazy. IStandWithJKRowling
Until decent people of high regard stand up to the bullying and cancelations, it will never stop. Allowing people to express their entirely personal beliefs has to cut all ways or it's pointless.
Hey Voldemort, trans rights should not be disturbing!
these people defending JK like if she was in jail unfairly, but she just out there being transphobic af and getting even more richer daily.
His brother literally played Michael Jackson, a black man, so this tracks.
who is Ralph Fiennes
not this...
“All she was doing is perpetuating the myth that trans people are sexual predators in disguise. What’s so wrong with that?”
When Voldemort’s on your side, you know you’re in trouble
At last someone speaks with a bit of common sense
Says literal Voldemort....
Thank you Ralph baby for standing by Queen Rowling!!! You are a king among men!!!🤗🤗🤗🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😘
ahh fuck
Its is disturbing but welcome to the nasty cancel mob culture on twitter. The woke nazis.
