We really don't need celebrity role models.

Totally agree, but unfortunately we do have them and it's nice when some are not raging assholes.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

We need people of all walks of life and all professions to be role models.

Yeah this is a shit take (who you’re replying to, not yours) , role models exist, celebrities exist, it’s good to have role models who are also celebrities who are also not shit people.

If we need them is up for debate, but by being will known your conduct ribs off on people, therefore you are a role model, like it or not.

Now we're in the post-truth and post-decency era where crass monied men seem to do whatever the fuck they like, it's healthy seeing people adhering do common decency.

Celebrities are already role models by default; that's just how fame works. Do you want them to be good ones or bad ones?

Yup, valuable men love and defend trans people!
