Pyrophore: Zachary Levi

back

Basics

Detail

Zachary Levi is a United States actor.

Levi is broadly perceived as having moved further and further to the political right since approximately 2019. The primary reason for his inclusion in Pyrophore is that his right-wing radicalisation has included increasingly vocal transphobia.

Timeline

2024, November 10. Levi publishes a Tweet, the full text of which is reproduced below (Levi, 2024):

To me, “woke” is indicative of any ideology that sacrifices logic, reason, rational thought, wisdom, knowledge, history, and facts on the altar of socio-political agendas. For example, when we as a society start to rationalize the idea that biological sex is somehow a subjective cultural construct, and not a scientific fact, we are doing ourselves a great injustice. The inability for many people to define what a woman is means that we are colelctively losing our grasp on reality.

We cannot start redefining words and their meanings simply to make a small portion of the population feel more validated in their subjective experience. We can, and should, love them and want the very best for their lives. They should have the freedom to live their adult lives as they see fit, so long as it’s not infringing on the rights of others. But that should never include turning our backs on objective truth to do so. We can both love and support them, AND hold firm to what we know is fact. These concepts are not mutually exclusive.
