“From Comedy to Controversy: Why Nick Frost’s Hagrid Casting Has Fans Outraged!”
“This is so sad. Are you just going to keep turning off comments and deleting posts to avoid legitimate criticism from your fans?” one user wrote.
“If you do this HP show, you will have to answer for JK and excuse her comments for the rest of your career. Is that what you want?”

Frost’s decision to turn off comments on his recent post motivated his detractors to spill their vitriol on unrelated photos in his profile, causing his entire page to be filled with criticism of his participation in the new series.
“The fact you’ve turned comments off on the previous post shows you know exactly why taking that role is a poor decision,” another wrote.
“You’ve lost the respect of millions, and I’m so disappointed in one of my favorite actors of all time.”
The nature of the reactions contrasted greatly with the impressions more neutral netizens shared on sites such as Reddit or X, where the announcement was received positively, citing the actor’s lovable screen presence and comedic charm as a great fit for the character.
Regardless of his previous work, words like “coward,” “gross,” “bigot,” and similar attacks on the actor’s character have flooded his social media sites.

The backlash is the result of JK Rowling expressing her belief in s*x being biological, immutable, and binary. As a result, she opposes the existence of concepts such as gender identity, self-identification, and transgenderism.
