British actor Robbie Coltrane is probably best known in the States as Hagrid from the “Harry Potter” films. But if you’re going to cancel “Harry Potter” creator J.K. Rowling for being a TERF who believes that women are women, you’re also going to have to cancel anyone who continued to support Rowling after she came out with her hateful views.
Here’s a collection of tweets on Coltrane’s death this week. “Too bad he died defending a TERF,” reads one. “I am glad that he is dead, and I hope none of his fans and/or loved ones are hanging around waiting to be offended by this.” “The main thing I’ll remember his for was his full-throated support of J.K. Rowling’s terfiness. Rot in hell, bitch.”
Trans actvists are celebrating the death of Robbie Coltrane because he supported JK Rowling.
Calling Hagrid a transphobic bigot that should "rest in piss." These people are vile. pic.twitter.com/Un9nSeIytA

This was after the rest of the cast threw her under the bus after she’d made them hugely successful.
The “tolerant” left show every time someone they disagree with passes away their souls are black. He was from all I can tell a really good guy. All this for showing support for biological women. Truly sick and full of hate.

I really hope most of those accounts are just high school kids because most normal adults grow out of "I hate this person because they're friends with someone I don't like" mentality.
If not, they need to socialize so they can get some actual enemies that aren't online only.

Miserable high schoolers and burnouts are literally the only people who do this. Robbie was a great guy

Something I have been saying for a long time, is that the hyperbole and exaggeration surrounding JK Rowling's opinions, has done more damage than JK has ever done, if JK has done any at all.

Their « battle » is just an excuse to be mean without feeling bad. Oldest tale in the world, nothing new under the sun.
