Leave the man the fuck alone. We will never allow you to dim his light.
"Anybody comes near me, my fans, they come. It'll be like a freaking tsunami of people that love me. I wouldn't even have to do anything. I just sit back and watch them get eaten."
this sudden wave of hate against Pedro Pascal is so fucking annoying.
enjoy this somewhat detailed tangent about why it’s dumb⬇️
You shouldn’t put celebs on pedestals, but you’re allowed to say you love a celeb just because they are a good person. You don’t need to meet them, you don’t need to know them. You’re allowed to admire people who are true to themselves and stick up for what’s right.
Like look if it does come out he’s a bad guy? fine, i’ll eat my words. But what i do know as of now is i have never seen a video of a woman be uncomfortable around him.
I don’t know Pedro Pascal and I won’t pretend to. But just going with context clues..
1. He is physically affectionate with male and female costars. And often times they initiate the contact with him, it is not one sided. So the whole narrative of ‘he is only affectionate with his female costars’ is quite literally false.
2. I literally cannot think of a time I’ve heard or seen anything about someone saying he made them uncomfortable. If anything I’ve heard ten times over how sweet he is and how he always tries to make others comfortable, as he understands how shitty it feels to be uncomfortable around others.
3. All of this hate is coming from cisgender men, mainly conservative ones. Right now we live in ‘Trump’s’ America, where power is being stripped away from minorities and hate is becoming even more rampant. Cisgender, and usually white, men are on a power trip knowing that the president cares about them the most, and has no care in the world for people who aren’t his followers.
And what else do we know about these kinds of men? They are racist, homophobic, misogynistic, sexist, transphobic, and so on. They hate people that are different from them. Pedro is a man of color who has openly defended the queer community as well as immigrants who are being attacked by the government. He has openly spoken about these issues, and what are men’s favorite tactics? To yell. To be loud. To be aggressive. They have taken this smear campaign and run with it, saying whatever they can to get Pedro to stop talking.
They’ve noticed how women and minorities love Pedro because he cares about us. He is one of us. People are allowed to think he is in too many films, or that he is overrated. What they are not allowed to do is to make up accusations about a man who has shown no sign of inappropriate behavior towards his costars or anyone else for that matter. These men will do whatever they can to get Pedro’s career trashed, and his reputation tainted. It’s literally disgusting how hateful they are.
4. This hate comes from a place of jealousy. It’s so obvious that the only men hating are incredibly insecure. They wonder why women can’t be that comfortable with and around them, and it’s because they can’t be normal around women. They always have to make things weird, or take things too far. They’re upset that Pedro is setting a standard that consent is a requirement and the foundations for any healthy friendship with a woman, or anyone. So, they go and try to ruin his reputation. ‘Wow, this guy that always seemed like he cared about consent? Yeah, turns out he’s just a creep who never cared at all.’ It’s literally trying to ruin the idea that men can have platonic relationships with women and have healthy contact that isn’t driven by ulterior motives. By going out and ruining a good guys reputation, they think women will have to lower their standards and go crawling back to creeps like them. ‘The bar is too high, women really like this guy because he is emotionally intelligent and kind. If we make him look bad women will further fall into the idea that all men can be bad and not care about consent, so they’ll be more likely to give normal guys like us a chance.’ It’s a very ‘savior’ tactic. ‘A guy who seemed genuine and sweet wasn’t that way at all? Maybe you need a guy who doesn’t act like that, just like me. Guys who are that nice have to be weirdos.’ They’re just trying to make an excuse for not being polite and gentle people, attempting to normalizing their shitty behavior.
5. Men constantly whine about women not caring about their mental health. But the second a man is open about his mental health struggles and finds comfort in other people, he’s bashed and told he’s faking it. ‘If he had anxiety he shouldn’t have been an actor.’ The male loneliness epidemic is not real. Male loneliness is real, but the term ‘male loneliness epidemic’ has heavy connotations by saying that women have caused it. Women having better standards and fighting for their rights does not cause male loneliness. Men treating other men who openly share their struggles like crap causes male loneliness. Women are not responsible for making men feel comfortable, especially since men have never made an effort to make women feel comfortable. If men want people to care about men, they need to look in the mirror and realize they do it to themselves.
6. Men complain about how women label all of them as threats. ‘Why do women assume I’m dangerous?’ and ‘Women are scared of me? I’m scared of being falsely accused.’ Men do not want to be seen as threats to women. Yet, the second a man is incredibly kind and gentle with women, everyone calls him ‘gay’? Or not manly? Do men even realize that the typical standard of being manly involves being aggressive and intimidating? What woman would feel safe around you while constantly being reminded that you could and might attack her. Women have to live in fear for their own safety. Men who make an effort to make women feel comfortable are men like Pedro Pascal. While he may initiate physical contact, he does so in a safe and polite way. He has never just grabbed someone like plenty of other male celebrities have.
7. Men are saying they are outing Pedro as a ‘creep’ to protect women. Why didn’t you guys want to protect women from other male celebrities? Why didn’t you support the MeToo movement? Why do you say women reporting their assaults is attention seeking? Why do you refuse to acknowledge that women deserve to feel safe? ‘If women wanted to be equal so bad, I won’t go to their rescue.’ It was never about protecting women, and it never has been.
8. Pedro has openly supported the queer community, especially trans rights. His sister is trans, and honestly as a trans man myself, his support means the world to me. I don’t often see celebrities so outwardly support us, and with him being such a famous person right now, it counts for a lot. Every single person I’ve found saying Pedro is a creep, is also transphobic. That alone says enough. Any YouTube videos I’ve watched about him being weird? (Because I do care to listen to the other side and give them a chance, I am not a blind supporter of anyone.) Every single channel also had videos that were transphobic, homophobic, anti-feminist, pro trump, etc. It is so incredibly clear that Pedro has a large target on his back for something as simple as supporting human rights.
All in all, I love Pedro Pascal as an actor, and I enjoy seeing him in films and online. I don’t love him in a weird parasocial relationship way, I love him in a ‘I really respect him as a human being’ way. I am not saying all men are bad, Pedro is a great example of that. But I am saying that the men hating are him are very clearly sad people who have nothing better to do with their lives than smear others, and spew bullshit about people who disagree with them. You don’t have to like Pedro Pascal, but you do have to recognize that none of this started until just recently, where J.K. Rowling has probably been fuming over him calling her out for being transphobic, as well as at the same time of him hitting his peak as an actor. He is right in the spotlight, starring in multiple major films, and the center of the public eye. Even if you hate him, it doesn’t give you the right to make false allegations or speculations about him when there is literally nothing other than him and his costars being touchy and friendly with each other.
Which btw even if it was weird for him and Vanessa Kirby to be that close for the last few weeks, you have to remember that in Fantastic 4 they play husband and wife. They are clearly playing it up for the cameras, as that is such a large part of their characters. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were encouraged to act more familiar with each other for the press. He also just seems like an incredibly caring man, so with her being pregnant there is a whole extra layer of wanting to make sure she feels safe and comfortable, as being in the public eye can be a lot.
Sorry for the rant, I just really hate when anyone has stupid accusations made about them for literally no reason. He’s just famous and lovable and people are jealous🤷♂️ thanks for reading :3
Because you’re selfish. Because I love you. In a way you… you can’t understand. Maybe you never will. But if that day should come, if you should ever have one of your own, well, then… I hope you do a little better than me.
