Honestly, none.
I didn't really like any celebrities as a kid, and growing up it seems like I've only been supportive of people who aren't complete shit.
I genuinely believe a lot of you people find out the creators you like suck because you like shitty creations.
Chuck Norris.
As a kid growing up in Texas in the 90s, Walker Texas Ranger was cool. Early internet memes about him were hilarious.
Then he said if he were elected president he would "Tattoo an American flag with the words, "In God we trust," on the forehead of every atheist."
Ever since I've been the killjoy, saying "fuck Chuck Norris" to anyone making a Chuck Norris is tough joke.
jackien chan, he went SHILLING FOR THE CCP sometime ago, and was ousted from HK film industry for that, and he couldnt even make it as a party member. i saw him making news again because he was in cobra kai, that isnt going to save his fame. also abandoned one of his daughters in canada with no money,.
Same deal with Steven Seagal, used to think he was a badass. Now the shitbag is clinking glasses with Putin and can totally still beat up multiple stuntmen.
You know who actually was a badass and didn’t say a goddamn word about it? Bob Ross. Most people don’t even know he spent years in an Air Force uniform before painting those happy little trees and trying to bring some joy to people.
Dave Chapelle
Dave Chapelle
Yup, he turned into a dick as he got old. A lot of celebs do that, or they cant afford that PR team anymore that used to make the look like they werent aholes.
why do you people love celebrities so much?
if someone handles a ball nicely, writes a book, sings a song or plays guitar, like them for that and stop assuming they must also be wise in family advice or politically savvy
You have to be incredibly good at something for me to ignore you being an asshole. There are also certain things that are unforgivable even if the art is good.
It's like Cosby was funny, but he drugged and raped people, so it's hard to laugh at him now.
Neil Gaiman amongst many others named here.
musk
There was a time when SpaceX and Tesla seemed like they were gonna change the world for the better, less co2, going to Mars and he even gave a few talks at astronomy events where he spoke about how carbon capture on Mars could be used to make rocket fuel (which is real and has been done btw) and bring starship rockets back, and how that same tech could be used on earth to help fight global warming. The future was gonna be amazing and I honestly believed he was gonna help make it happen
there's a real reason marvel had him in iron man 2
Yeah, I was never a true believer or fanboy, but back before he lost his mind and fired his PR department, I was cool with the electric cars, space exploration, solar roofs, trains, and even fun flamethrowers.
Katy Perry. She got brain rot from dating Russel Brand.
Kelsey Grammer.
I still can't believe he's riding the Trump train, and is returning as Beast for the new Marvel films at the same time. The cognitive dissonance is confounding me.
Kevin Spacey. Bill Cosby. Danny Masterson. Steven Tyler. Anthony Kedis.
They are all gross now that I know more about them; some moreso than others.
I used to like Katy Perry's music in high-school. Now shes super cringe hanging out with basically our version of Lex Luthor so I dont listen to her music anymore.
Sarah Silverman, said the palestinian babies need to die because theyll grow up to be terrorists then turned off comments for a year on ig, she said more than that had a whole tirade, ruined her. Shes back now pretending she didnt say anything, pr team put in work. My post on her reddit got deleted so I stopped caring about telling ppl, but this made me remember.
Jim Carrey
What'd he do?
Anti-vaxxer.
But he despises trump, so at the moment, enemy of my enemy...
Anti-vaxxer.
Aw fuck are you serious??? Shitty.
Yeah, he's super best buddies with Jenny McCarthy, and spouts the same nonsense she does.
Kevin Spacey
Adding Louis CK to the list. I used to like his shows, and genuinely found the writing and his takes to be thoughtful and helpful. Finding out he was gross and shitty the whole time sucked.
I never understood this take. Like, did you not actually listen to the shit he said when you "liked" his shows? Did you not see the skit where he went on a morning interview and told his female interviewer that he was going to jerk off to her later and there was nothing she could do about it? If so, how was it actually surprising to hear he jerked off infront of a female coworker after he told her he was going to do it? You can separate the art from the artist all you want, but at some point you have to realize that all that art came from somewhere.
I believe that skit was about christofascist suppression of masturbation so it was appropriate at the time. The interviewer was surnamed "Fapper".
A lot of his humor was based on things you want to do but don't. So exploring dark desires that you should not act on is reasonable for comedy. Then it comes out that he did some of that stuff and it's not funny anymore.
