Hey@MarkHamill–1. JK Rowling is a known transphobe2. India Willoughby is a trans broadcast reporter in the UK3. JK’s response to India here (which you liked) is her being transphobic
Hoping you didn’t know the context when you liked the tweet and that you will correct!pic.twitter.com/rh6OoUR62S

Mark Hamill liked a JK Rowling tweet and “fans” are praying the like was accidental. If the like was not accidental, then sadly it is pitchfork time 😞. They have no choice but to sacrifice Mark. The Cancelation Council is scheduled to hold a meeting forthwith for judgement✍️pic.twitter.com/Gjs7Vqcylx

Apart from the cancel culture waving their pitchforks and torches at Mark Hamill, this could very well have been an accidental like.Mark Hamillhas been known as a gentleman with never an ill intent to any person. It is likely that Hamill will soon apologize for his misdeed rather than side with J.K. Rowling in her fight against the LGBTQ+ community. The actor has also retired from voicing the role of Joker in the DCAU and cites a heartbreaking reason for quitting.

Many people do not know that Mark Hamill voiced the character of Joker in DC’s Animated Universe. With the recent passing of the lead Kevin Conroy (who voiced Batman),The Empire Strikes Backactor would not voice the character again out of respect for Conroy.
“They would call and say, ‘They want you to do the Joker,’ and my only question was, ‘Is Kevin Batman?’ If they said yes, I would say, ‘I’m in.’ We were like partners. We were like Laurel and Hardy. Without Kevin there, there doesn’t seem to be a Batman for me.”
Mark Hamill currently has several upcoming projects scattered in several stages of development. The people await the release ofThe Fall of the House of Usherwhich will star Mark Hamill and will be directed by notable horror director Mike Flanagan. The series is currently in post-production with no confirmed release date.
