New Snape Actor Sticks it to JK Rowling -- But Still Cashes the Checks.
Clownfish TV: Audio Edition
The new actor for Severus Snape, Paapa Essiedu, kinda stuck to to JK Rowling by signing an open letter in direct opposition to her opinions on trans issues and women’s rights. But he’s still cashing the checks from working on the franchise. And people want JK to fire him for it -- but she admits she CAN’T. That’s really interesting.

info_outlineA study alleges a 32% pay gap between male and female video game influencers reveals a systemic bias in the industry, with women earning significantly less for sponsored content despite equal or greater audience engagement.
Ubisoft’s decision to pay $76,000 to a male influencer for promoting Assassin’s Creed Shadows while excluding women from top-paid promotions highlights potential gender discrimination in high-profile gaming collaborations.
Female gaming influencers who create crossover content in fashion, cosplay, and beauty can earn substantially more than male counterparts due to higher-paying ad networks targeting female-dominated purchasing demographics.
The disparity in collaboration rates, with male influencers earning $234 per deal compared to $160 for females, suggests a pervasive undervaluation of women’s influence in the gaming industry.
Ad networks prioritizing female influencers due to women’s tendency to "pull the trigger" on purchases in households perpetuates gender stereotypes while potentially disadvantaging male content creators.
The focus on audience metrics like size, country, age, and buying habits for determining brand deal prices may inadvertently perpetuate gender biases by valuing traditionally male-dominated gaming niches more highly.
