not sure most cis people are aware of the association between JK Rowling, Harry Potter, and her transphobia… maybe the cast and crew are aware and choosing a paycheck over association with a known transphobe, but I don’t think it’s as guaranteed as it may seem to us
Agreed. She’s incredibly outspoken about this. To take this job is to either be so desperate for money that you can’t afford not to (sorta hard to believe with the stars), to just not care, or to be actively in agreement with Rowling’s views. The latter two being inexcusable, and the first still being seriously dubious.

Cishet, well aware, and definitely told anyone of my cishet friends who were interested in say the Harry Potter game.
I struggle to believe that. Every single one of these have an agent who’s job it is to know and inform their client if a role is problematic.
Hell, I think on a personal level they’d be aware also as it has very much become her personality.
