Just want to make sure I have that right. He spoke up so now they are making shit up to try and defame him? Do I have this bullshit right?

      forced down our throat by being cast in every single movie that’s released

      This is just one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. The man’s only been in 14 movies over the past 5 years. Something like 1500 major studio productions were released over that time. Why do you keep choosing to shove Pedro Pascal down your own throat?

        It seems like he’s in a lot of things, because the things he appears in tend to be good, and he’s good in them.

        I saw the same complaint about Rami Malek a while back, and his imdb profile is relatively sparse for a two-decade acting career. He just happens to be memorable.

        Huh, when you put it that way it sounds like a lot - three films a year for a decade and a half, plus the Mandalorian, etc.

        As with almost everything, I reckon the truth is in the middle - that there’s a tribal backlash by those that consider “woke” a slur, and it’s being amplified by those who are genuinely overexposed to him.

            Oops, no idea where that came from, unless the 1500 films bit confused my subconscious.

            I think you have me confused with a different poster. (I just checked and I’ve seen him in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Gladiator II and Mandalorian)

          A decade is 10 years, he only really arrived on the scene 5 years ago, where’s the other 15 years coming from?

            Your maths is as bad as mine - a decade and a half is 15 years, so I added 10 not 15.

      In case anyone was wondering I did some web searches and this “groping” stuff is basically made up by anti-trans activists as far as I can tell. So I’m not sure if this person is one of them or just parroting their smear unknowingly, but they can be safely ignored.

      Like when the public was overwhelmingly opposed to the ideology that blacks and whites should be in the same public spaces, right? Or that they should be allowed to marry? Or that women should get to vote?

      Idk man, it seems like majority opinion shouldn’t be considered when talking about people’s rights. We should all have the same rights.

      also a vocal proponent of ideologies that the public overwhelmingly disagree with, and are openly hateful towards anyone who disagrees with them

      This is news to me, what’s he been saying?

        No news here, just the usual bigoted “I dislike a thing, so I assume everyone else quietly agrees with me and is too afraid to speak out against the woke mob” bullshit that racists, sexists, homophobes, and (in this case) transphobes have been using for decades.

        pedro has a trans family member and he advocates for trans rights. the OP is mistaking being pro trans rights with the more muddied waters around trans athletes in competitive sports. hilariously if they knew anything about m2f trans population and how biochemistry works they’d quickly realize the estrogen these individuals take rapidly normalizes them to their gender’s average in performance.

      Is there anything being “shoved down your throat”? Maybe some kind of “agenda” or specific groups of people?

        OP have MWAM Syndrome, Must Watch All Movie so the appearance of Pedro Pascal in a lot of movie is a torturous experience. 1 out of 10 American suffer from this syndrome and it’s not a joke.

      I don’t know if it is most people, but Pedro seems to be in a point of oversaturation. I can see some people tiring of him. I can also see some news outlets trying to make money by putting out negative coverage of him.

      Which would also get amplified by trans bigots trying to cancel him.

      You know you do that have to watch the stuff he’s in, right? If you’re sick of him then stop paying attention to him and letting him live in your head. And as for the anxiety thing, kind of a dick move to just assume someone’s a creep just because physical touch helps with their anxiety. As someone that had anxiety, I may not relate one-to-one but I definitely get it.
