Mark Hamill Facing Cancel Culture Wrath for Liking 'Transphobic' JK Rowling Tweet
Fox News ^ | January 24, 2023 | Gabriel Hays

Some LGBTQ fans of Hamill demanded he unfollow Rowling on the platform

Legendary "Star Wars" actor and prominent Hollywood liberal Mark Hamill is in hot water on Twitter for having recently liked a tweet posted by J.K. Rowling. The "Harry Potter" author has, for years, been facing the wrath of cancel culture due to tweets repeatedly saying that biological sex is not a social construct.

Now, Hamill, the 71-year-old actor who played Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" series of movies, found himself the target of an internet firestorm for merely liking a cheeky comment from Rowling on Twitter.

The row began on Sunday when Rowling responded to a provocative tweet aimed at her from India Willoughby, the U.K.’s first "transgender newsreader."

Mark Hamill should respond:

"Oh no, I'm not "woke" enough and now a bunch of failed nannies want to cancel me?.....Oh, whatever shall I do?!?!"

Mark Hamill has been a liberal nutter through the years. I guess he’s not too high of the trans-wacko scene.

Celebs think they are free until they reach the end of their leashes and get yanked back to heel.

"Cancel Culture Wrath"

Whoever "Cancel Culture" is. Like Rush used to famously say, "two guys with a fax machine."

Do they REALLY have any power? Are they are going to take their LGBTXYZABCQWERTY marbles, stomp their feet, hold their breath until they turn blue, and have a good pout?

More likely he’ll identify as a woman to appease his fans.

You can be 99% pro-Life, but just one single deviation from total orthodoxy is enough to generate a mob coming after you.

The lesson is, don’t bother to try to please them.

Everybody who is active on Twitter should consider liking Rowling’s tweet, not just Hamill.

In addition to being trenchant, it is both pithy and quite funny.

Mark Hamill is a liberal. Mark Hamill doesn’t like what the liberal wokesters did to his character.

I dont either. But Mark is more like Bill Mahr on this. They both operate on their own self interests. Not from any overarching moral principle. They get irritated at liberal things that negatively impact them personally. Thats all it is.

Willoughby, who was born a biological male, wrote, "I’m more of a woman than J.K. Rowling ever will be." Rowling, who is a biological woman, quote tweeted Willoughby’s post and commented, "Citation needed," a snarky suggestion that there is no evidence behind Willoughby’s claims.

That's brilliant. And only the seriously mentally disturbed would unleash their "wrath" on it.

Mark was funny playing a villain in an episode or 2 of Howard Stern’s ‘Son of the Beach’. (knock-off comedy version of Bay Watch). B-actors for sure but Tim Stack’s lead character Notch Johnson WAS funny with the best double entendre gags on TV. Was shown on FX tv.

hamill is a pretty standard hollyweird leftist so being canceled for straying off the path a little bit is something he has in common with JKR.
