I think everyone also has the right to pick their battles. I'm a bit tired of this "NOW GIVE US YOUR OPINION ON X, Y AND Z" and the celebrities who have to answer these things are always condemned, no matter what they say. Some of them seem genuine, some uninformed, some blinded, some confused, some just appear to have no idea what the discussion is even about (like many regular people). Gervais has already done a lot on the animal activism front, and to belittle those achievements because he hasn't yet said anything to defend JKR is a bit silly.

If he wants to not be CANCELLED all the time - as he has been - and instead stay quiet entirely, then I much prefer that to some half-assed statement about TWAW.

(Personally I tend to believe he is looking at those tweets attacking JKR and chuckling "those idiot twats... what morons" and then goes out on a walk with Jane and all her friends.)
