Pedro Pascal slams J.K. Rowling over anti-trans comments and defends sister in Vanity Fair interview
Pedro Pascal has strongly criticized author J.K. Rowling in a new Vanity Fair cover story, responding to her celebration of a recent U.K. Supreme Court ruling on transgender rights. The court declared that, under the Equality Act, legal definitions of 'woman' and 'man' are determined by biological sex. Rowling marked the decision with a photo of herself drinking and the caption, 'I love it when a plan comes together.' Pascal called her reaction 'heinous loser behavior,' citing her comments as harmful to the trans community. The actor, whose sister Lux came out as transgender in 2021, said his comments came from a place of deep personal commitment. 'Bullies make me fucking sick,' he told Vanity Fair, while admitting he briefly questioned whether his words would help or harm the cause. 'It's a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen.' His older sister, Javiera Pascal, also spoke in support of his statement, saying, 'He said that as the older brother to someone saying that our little sister doesn't exist.' Following the viral moment, some of Rowling's defenders circulated a Comic-Con clip of Pascal holding co-star Vanessa Kirby's hand, trying to suggest inappropriate behavior. Kirby dismissed the criticism, explaining the gesture came from a shared moment of nervousness before addressing a large crowd. 'I found it a lovely gesture and was very glad to squeeze his hand back,' she said. He is among several celebrities who signed an open letter opposing the U.K. court's decision. Other signatories include The Last of Us co-star Bella Ramsey, Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan, and Paapa Essiedu, who will portray Severus Snape in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot. Rowling, responding on X, stated she would not dismiss actors over views that differ from her own. The full profile appears in Vanity Fair's June 2025 issue.

Nintendo launches new Switch console
The console is more powerful than the original. Photo: File Japanese video game giant Nintendo unveiled the new version of its hugely popular Switch console on Wednesday, with the update eagerly awaited by both gamers and investors. Very similar visually to its best-selling predecessor, which was launched in 2017, the Switch 2 features a larger screen, a wider stand, and retains its detachable "Joy-Con" controllers. It will also be more powerful than the original model while keeping its hybrid console concept, allowing players to use it both on-the-go and connected to a TV – a key factor in the success of the first Switch which has sold 150 million units worldwide. "When you ask gamers, they mention performance and game software, but in reality, they seem to want the same experience as the original Switch," said Hideki Yasuda, an analyst at Japanese brokerage Toyo Securities. "I think what they truly want is simply higher performance." Despite recent diversification efforts into films and theme parks, Nintendo's core business still relies heavily on video games. The company cut its profit forecasts in February due to slowing sales of its star console. Industry rumours suggest a possible June release, with Yasuda estimating six million units would be initially made available. In the long run, Nintendo could sell 19 million units in 2025 and 21 million the following year, according to Toyo Securities estimates. Another key factor is pricing, which experts estimate will range from $430 to $540. Uncertainty over US import tariffs also remains a concern, although Nintendo has recently switched an increasing amount of production from China to Vietnam, which faces lower customs duties. As the video game industry faces a global slowdown, marked by waves of layoffs, the arrival of the Switch 2 could revitalise console sales which have been declining worldwide. AFP
