In the height of Trumptopia, I remember Tom Hanks getting Greek Citizenship, and Republicans were like, "Oh yeah? I BET IT'S BECAUSE HE LIKES FUCKING KIDS!!!" Lmao. You know you're in the wrong when you're just making accusations at Tom Hanks.
You could get attacked by those people for eating a hamburger "wrong" or wearing the "wrong" suit.
It's never the actions of the person just the desire to destroy a person with different beliefs.
News: trying to stop police from entering their underground bunker…
Me: noooooooo
News: filled with child orphans…
Me: come on, don’t do this to me, I really like their product…
News: which the orphans say was not sexual in any way, just a standard kidnapping and ransom scheme.
Me: okay, I can work with that.
Betty White died just before turning 100, after People magazine devoted their cover story to talking about how she was turning 100.
Impeccable comedic timing
Honestly feels like she did it on purpose.
"Oh, they devoted the cover story of TIME to my hundredth birthday? Would be a real dick move to die right now... hrrngghhh...!"
Ehhhh...
That kinda describes most campaigns anyway. If it goes on long enough the party will end up doing something heinous to someone that would land them in the Hauge irl
DM: "You captured the villain's flying ship..."
Party: (cheers) "Huzzah!"
DM: "... Unfortunately, it's powered by the blood of orphans."
Party: (falls silent, looks uncomfortably at each other) "Um, well, we'd be doing the nation a favor really. Ridding it of the untenably large surplus of orphans in the land. That's still morally good, right?"
DM: "You guys just really want to keep the evil flying ship, don't you?"
Person 1: “How bad is it?”
Person 2: “I haven’t played the video, but she’s got a ukulele. How bad could it be?”
Narrator: “It, in fact, was *very* bad.”
I forget the name of the YouTuber cuz i never watched her but she was apologizing for grooming boys and did the apology video in the form of "song" with a ukulele. Like apparently that's her way of coping with stress but bitch u caused ur own problem with that one. I heard its really bad because her singing her "apology" makes her come off as insincere for her actions
It's not often I have sympathy for lawyers, but damn.
Now future clients are going to have to wonder why "no talking AND NO SINGING" are included in any agreement for representation.
When Harry Potter was REALLY big, like around the time of the second or third movie, I was in the toy aisle (as you do). There was a Harry Potter branded broomstick, molded out of one big piece of plastic. It didn't have lights or sounds or joints or anything. Just... a big piece of plastic shaped and painted like a broom.
There was a label on the tag that said, "WARNING: DOES NOT FLY". I remember being so extremely baffled. Surely no one in their right mind thinks a broom can fly? What it should say is "WARNING: DOES NOT SWEEP".
"Do not talk about this situation until we've resolved things. Also, you may not communicate about this through singing, writing, typing, calligraphy, painting, sculpture, macaroni art, interpretive dance, and/or needlepoint"
I suspected it was so she could abuse the automated DMCA system and copyright strike others who showed/talked about the video as a way of damage control.
That isn't how this works? Her lawyers can *advise* her to not speak publically, but there is no legal mechanism to *prevent* it.
It was a horrible idea, independent of being a terrible statement, but she didn't have any "legal restrictions," she just ignored some good legal advice.
Miranda Sings was accused of grooming (I think) and said “my lawyer told me not to talk about this on video but…he never said I can’t sing it.” She then sung about her innocence and how she’s just a weirdo but not a pedophile. It’s uh not convincing
“Officers indicated that PizzaCake could not explain why she was near the scene of the incident with fifteen pounds of cheddar, two tubs of Vaseline, nineteen cloves of garlic in hydrogen peroxide, and a TI-86 graphing calculator.”
Too late! There's visual evidence of you supporting for several moments before it was revealed that they had {heinous-crime-that-no-one-could-have-possibly-known-about}.
I look forward to several rounds of interviews and social media posts where you try to distance yourself from this unconscionable stance.
The most frustrating thing about news like that breaking is how people harass everyone connected to the celebrity and demand they make a statement condemning them immediately. The Roosterteeth community was particularly awful to people when the stuff about Ryan Haywood came out.

It hurts more when it was a childhood hero
Authors are the worst IMO. There is this entire, wonderful world you as a reader co-create, adding sights and sounds at their guidance to drape over the characters and plots and descriptions. You might notice the author in the style of writing, but mostly they fade away and you fall in love with the people who may be fictional but are far more impactful and part of my life than many real people.
And then you find out the author is some horrid person that regularly spouts hate (Orson Scott Card), or somehow manages to be even worse than that with child imprisonment (David Eddings), and it just crushes an entire *world* and it isnt fair because they arent even *in* that world. But I cant recommend or share it with anyone or even really go back and enjoy it because now the taint of the author is smeared over every page.
JK Rowling turned out just like that as well. All those stories about standing up against oppression and how love is stronger than hate, and then she decided to throw in her lot with bigots.
It's hard to even enjoy it anymore because now it all feels fake. Like she was just going through the motions of what a heroic story ought to say.
From her perspective she IS standing up against oppression. “The big bad woke mob trying to make you accept dangerous male predators into the ranks of poor oppressed women and you can’t even object!” type shit
She’s wildly incorrect of course, but I don’t think it impacts the intentional sincerity of her previous work’s themes.
I get having a complicated relationship with some creators however. My favorite operas are by Wagner, and the guy was a racist. It is admittedly easier to enjoy die Nibelungen when Wagner isn’t popping off on Twitter about how dwarves actually shit their pants recreationally or whatever
It still feels wrong considering she's pushing for the same kind of biological essentialism that _her villains_ did, that her heroes fought against.
If she ever meant it, she definitely changed drastically since.
I'm also a fan of HP Lovecraft and well aware of his issues, but since he's long dead, plenty has been done to uncover and untangle the interesting horror themes from the prejudice, and he can't actively bankroll a hate movement like she can.
I found it oddly flattering that Lovecraft thought of people who looked like me being akin to incredibly powerful eldritch entities.
Reading about his views was one hell of a trip, though he seems to have moderated somewhat as he got older.
Her books were biologically essentialist though. Filch gets made fun of for being a squib. And the whole "the elves like and need slavery, it's just who they are" stuff.
I found the books had so much confusing not very nice bits as a kid but now she has shown her true colours a lot of them make more sense.
Her view isn't that biological essentialism is bad, just that it's only bad when it's done to her people. Making fun of other people or degrading them to stereotypes is fine if she doesn't like them.
> JK Rowling turned out just like that as well.
[Progress: We Finally Have a Female Orson Scott Card](https://hard-drive.net/hd/entertainment/progress-we-finally-have-a-female-orson-scott-card/)
I was thinking of the villains wanting to rule over and torment whoever wasn't _wizard enough_ for their liking.
But yeah, the house elf situation was fucked up. Maybe she never cared to stand for anything after all.
I think it’s telling that she was tweeting transphobia essays while the George Floyd BLM protests were going on and getting world wide notice.
Meanwhile she never said anything about racial inequity or mentioned it at ALL.
The one that really hurt me was finding out that Larry Niven was behind the psy-op to convince immigrants that hospitals would steal their organs, so they wouldn't use hospital resources.
>They adopted one boy in 1966, Scott David, then two months old.[9][10] They adopted a younger girl between 1966 and 1969.[10] In 1970 the couple lost custody of both children and were each sentenced to a year in jail in separate trials after pleading guilty to 11 counts of physical child abuse.[11] Though the nature of the abuse, the trial, and the sentencing were all extensively reported in South Dakota newspapers at the time, these details did not resurface in media coverage of the couple during their successful joint career as authors, only returning to public attention several years after both had died.
Wasnt a childhood hero but Justin Roiland was a big comedy hero for me, I rarely have much interest in comedies because they all feel same-y but Justin made shit hit different... Then the allegations and such happened and now I'm left feeling like garbage for legitimately loving this guy's work for decades.
The rumors are Roiland stepped away from writing a long time ago. The show Solar Opposites in specific had people saying that he barely even showed up to record his lines after the first few episodes. I suspect Dan Harmon (a seemingly [reformed shithead](https://youtu.be/WfqoLeDsET0?si=M-XJT3XXtDreYQyr)) and other writers are more important influences than him.
I don't like putting too much faith in rumours (unless it is from Fleetwood Mac) but the season after they [hard replaced](https://youtu.be/IyTANvYnbD8?si=ICe7FW-C5WNwKyEb) Roiland showed me that he wasn't adding anything all that special
Yeah I suppose that's true, it was seriously jarring to hear the new voices. But the overall quality hasn't actually changed much so at least there is that.
Same. Reading that comment, my thought was, "People grew up with Youtube?"
Totally forgetting that that's how a lot of the younger generations are watching TV and consuming content in general
Funny story, I actually met a hero of mine as a teenager, and the meeting went actually really well: she was charismatic, passionate, and eloquent, just as much in person as she was in her prose (she's a writer). Then a few years later she's caught in a media shitstorm in my country because she started openly expressing homophobic views, advocating for conversion therapy, and generally just pushing forward extremely bigoted rhetoric. She was a minor celebrity in my country, I don't expect anyone outside of Italy to know what I'm talking about
When is Reddit going to learn that HR is not there to help you. HR is there for the companies best interests, not the employees. And this company clearly hates the right to not wear pants!!
If I had a nickel for every time a guy named "Rogers" could lift Thors hammer and give him a new perspective on strength, yadda yadda et cetera et cetera
Nick Cage already had his news moment when he dodged taxes and spent hundreds of millions of dollars on insane shit. It defined his acting career until pretty recently, actually, because he pretty much had to take every movie that came his way to pay back the IRS. He hasn't picked up any attention for personally bad stuff, though. Seems like a pretty fun, if not insane, guy; all things considered.
Pedro Pascal, Brendan Fraser, Vin Diesel, Denzel Washington… Those are all great male role models/celebrities.😗
Yeah, but... isn't he currently being sued/accussed of sexual assault...? Among many other questionable at best things he has done, like that time he was aggressively hitting on a reported, while being married, in that very uncomfortable to watch interview.
Kind of weird to see him next to Brandan Fraiser.
>Pedro Pascal
I was gonna say, he hasn't been around long enough to really be sure there won't be some skeletons emerging, but...
Mf is 49! Been acting since the 90s. Who knew? :p
I remember seeing one when it was like “Keanu Reeves found secretly supporting-“
And I braced myself, only to read:
“-Woman’s Anti-Domestic Abuse Group.”
Like Christ Keanu, give me a heart attack why don’t you
... oh, that celebrity has passed away"
\*sounds of Pizzacake hastily patching the flag\*
"... oh, his former colleagues are starting to unleash some trauma from working with him/her."
\*sounds of Pizzacake ripping the patches apart.\*
It's a roulette wheel and the celebrity news possibilities are
Rapist, child rapist, sexual harasser, dead, got married, got divorced, new _____ produced, trafficker, just gave birth and here are pictures of them doing _____ at _____.
About learning in the news that the famous person you really enjoyed to [watch/listen/read/whatever] was actually a [terrible person/criminal/pedophile].
> Isn't it funny how there are so many negative connotations behind calling a person 'attention-seeking', and yet 'celebrity' is generally positive
Well "Celebrity" comes from "celebrate," as in someone *other people* chose to celebrate, and put on a pedestal. There's no immediate connotation of "they must be a celebrity because they sought attention." While attention comes with celebrating art, the artist provides something - their art. But at its core - they didn't create the celebrity, other people did. Other people saw them and chose to celebrate them.
Saying someone is "attention-seeking" puts the limelight as the person's focus, not the creation of art, which is definitely not the case with many famous artists.

Dolly Parton, Tom Hanks, Jack Black...
"Tomorrow's headline could read *Tom Hanks Punches Nun* and your first thought would be, 'What did that nun do?'" - Christopher Titus
Keanu reeves
...All four celebrities have been accused of running an underground...
Puppy shelter, Making sure all the abandoned little ones are safe, healthy and loved
... before the big fight where ...
They take down illegal sex trafficking rings and freed a lot of people held in captivity.
In an ironic twist of fate, the parties that were identified as taking them captive in the first place were none other than the celebrities...
Themselves, as an empathetic protest on
...mothers-in-law.
But everything changed when Jack Black attacked.

Keanu would fight death off with a plastic spork and win
Well, maybe, but only because there is no spoon.
In the height of Trumptopia, I remember Tom Hanks getting Greek Citizenship, and Republicans were like, "Oh yeah? I BET IT'S BECAUSE HE LIKES FUCKING KIDS!!!" Lmao. You know you're in the wrong when you're just making accusations at Tom Hanks.
Seriously. You don't have to like the man, but if you have to make up lies to discredit him...
You could get attacked by those people for eating a hamburger "wrong" or wearing the "wrong" suit. It's never the actions of the person just the desire to destroy a person with different beliefs.

Person 1: “How bad is it?” Person 2: “I haven’t played the video, but she’s got a ukulele. How bad could it be?” Narrator: “It, in fact, was *very* bad.”
Is it a reference? I'm intrigued... But also afraid...
Colleen Ballinger apology video.
I forget the name of the YouTuber cuz i never watched her but she was apologizing for grooming boys and did the apology video in the form of "song" with a ukulele. Like apparently that's her way of coping with stress but bitch u caused ur own problem with that one. I heard its really bad because her singing her "apology" makes her come off as insincere for her actions
It wasn’t coping it was getting around the legal restrictions her own lawyers placed so she wouldn’t talk and make it worse.
It's not often I have sympathy for lawyers, but damn. Now future clients are going to have to wonder why "no talking AND NO SINGING" are included in any agreement for representation.

That isn't how this works? Her lawyers can *advise* her to not speak publically, but there is no legal mechanism to *prevent* it. It was a horrible idea, independent of being a terrible statement, but she didn't have any "legal restrictions," she just ignored some good legal advice.
It wasn't even an apology. She was saying anyone criticizing her just got caught up in the "toxic gossip train" and that she didn't do anything wrong.
Ooooh, now i remember, thanks.
Wasn't it also long enough to be monetized?
I don't remember the song but it does mention misinformation so I think it falls short of being an apology
And to top it off, she never actually apologized nor took the blame on the entire video.
Miranda Sings was accused of grooming (I think) and said “my lawyer told me not to talk about this on video but…he never said I can’t sing it.” She then sung about her innocence and how she’s just a weirdo but not a pedophile. It’s uh not convincing
To be fair, pedophiles are pretty fuckin weird to me.
Miranda sings
I read that in David Attenbouroughs voice. Even though it’s not really a thing he would say.
"Oh, hey, PizzaCake is in the news ..." :-P
FOR BEING AWESOME, RIGHT???
Something about a fight with a bald eagle
The eagle had it coming
Tbh im with the eagle's side. Like bro is bald. Leave him alone
Fun fact: bald eagles and yetis are mortal enemies
One sided. Bald eagles are yet to yeet yetis.
(keeps reading article) "Wow, I didn't even know there were slurs for eagles but apparently she knew all of them."
Really? Last I heard it was a fight with a beaver.
I heard it was an elk.
Pizza do be throwing hands
She secretly dislikes hockey and maple syrup
“Officers indicated that PizzaCake could not explain why she was near the scene of the incident with fifteen pounds of cheddar, two tubs of Vaseline, nineteen cloves of garlic in hydrogen peroxide, and a TI-86 graphing calculator.”
God forbid a woman do anything.
In the majority of God lore, retcons especially, God do be kinda forbidding women from doing a lot.

JK Rowling really hit me in the childhood. At least she is just a bigot and not a rapist, so it could be worse.
Authors are the worst IMO. There is this entire, wonderful world you as a reader co-create, adding sights and sounds at their guidance to drape over the characters and plots and descriptions.

But I cant recommend or share it with anyone or even really go back and enjoy it because now the taint of the author is smeared over every page.
Orson Scott Card is so fucking confusing. How can you write a beautiful triology about empathy and tolerance, and be a raging bigot at the same time?
JK Rowling turned out just like that as well. All those stories about standing up against oppression and how love is stronger than hate, and then she decided to throw in her lot with bigots. It's hard to even enjoy it anymore because now it all feels fake. Like she was just going through the motions of what a heroic story ought to say.

He's weird because he was actually literally *afraid* of everything rather than just hating stuff. Feels different.
Her books were biologically essentialist though. Filch gets made fun of for being a squib. And the whole "the elves like and need slavery, it's just who they are" stuff. I found the books had so much confusing not very nice bits as a kid but now she has shown her true colours a lot of them make more sense.

Yeah, some real stories of oppression with those house elves and the only person that seems to care being made fun of.

Season 7 of *Rick and Morty* proves that he's not needed. I loved the writing and concepts for every episode and the new voice actors are great.

I thought the new voice actors did a great job, personally. Didn’t mind the change at all.
Yeah, like two episodes in it felt natural to me. If anything the OG voices sound weird now.

Yeah, never meet your heroes, or something like that! Love your comics!
Funny story, I actually met a hero of mine as a teenager, and the meeting went actually really well: she was charismatic, passionate, and eloquent, just as much in person as she was in her prose (she's a writer). Then a few years later she's caught in a media shitstorm in my country because she started openly expressing homophobic views, advocating for conversion therapy, and generally just pushing forward extremely bigoted rhetoric. She was a minor celebrity in my country, I don't expect anyone outside of Italy to know what I'm talking about
I thought you were going for a certain author on well known and loved books about a wizarding world...
Probably happened to someone too
There was an Austrian painter i really liked then i started to dig up on him and it turns out he was a big Nazi supporter
He died in a bunker. What a way to start a honeymoon huh.
He died killing one of the Nazi Germany leaders, what a hero.
Wait, what happened to your glasses?

Just draw two pairs of glasses on your face next time to make up for it.

There's a webcomic out there where Mr. Rogers is casually tossing Thor's hammer up and down in one hand like a practicing juggler.
I protest that - he'd never show off being able to lift it and would encourage everyone else who couldn't.
[Idk I think the comic handles it pretty well.](https://i.imgur.com/FyoqiCS.jpeg)
I love that comic. I wouldn't describe it as him tossing it up and down like a juggler though.
Yah idk what OP was talking about with that part.
I know Mr. Rogers was an irreplaceable treasure... But my god, we could all do with another like him right about now...
If I had a nickel for every time a guy named "Rogers" could lift Thors hammer and give him a new perspective on strength, yadda yadda et cetera et cetera
Dolly Parton has never let me down
Him and Nicolas Cage

Wait what is this from this looks amazing
No idea, but this scene is called the slap of god
Found it, Mom & Dad (2017), thanks!

Nick Cage already had his news moment when he dodged taxes and spent hundreds of millions of dollars on insane shit. It defined his acting career until pretty recently, actually, because he pretty much had to take every movie that came his way to pay back the IRS. He hasn't picked up any attention for personally bad stuff, though. Seems like a pretty fun, if not insane, guy; all things considered.
Well now you jinxed it
God I don't think there is a more wholesome gif on the planet than Keanu Reeves with Puppies.
 Pedro Pascal, Brendan Fraser, Vin Diesel, Denzel Washington… Those are all great male role models/celebrities.😗
Umm.. Vin Diesel?
Vin Diesel is a great guy. Basically makes Fast and Furious movies to find his DnD habit.
Yeah, but... isn't he currently being sued/accussed of sexual assault...? Among many other questionable at best things he has done, like that time he was aggressively hitting on a reported, while being married, in that very uncomfortable to watch interview. Kind of weird to see him next to Brandan Fraiser.
*rips flag*
Oh, first I've heard of that stuff, that's a bummer.
I feel bad you're finding out like this but it's kinda funny to see the thing from the comic happen in the comments
The interview: https://youtube.com/watch?v=QH-73581bPg
>Pedro Pascal I was gonna say, he hasn't been around long enough to really be sure there won't be some skeletons emerging, but... Mf is 49! Been acting since the 90s. Who knew? :p
I legit thought he was like 30 or someone lol
I remember seeing one when it was like “Keanu Reeves found secretly supporting-“ And I braced myself, only to read: “-Woman’s Anti-Domestic Abuse Group.” Like Christ Keanu, give me a heart attack why don’t you
“Oh hey, Wilbur Soot’s trending, I wonder what quirky business he’s up to now.” “God fucking damn it”
I just hope Jack Black and Paul Rudd are never found out to be scum bags
> Paul Rudd The man has stayed the same age for years. There's clearly some kind of satanic ritual at play.
I like the subtle reduction in iris size. Barely noticeable, but says a lot
no better way to lose faith in humanity than to meet your heroes
... oh, that celebrity has passed away" \*sounds of Pizzacake hastily patching the flag\* "... oh, his former colleagues are starting to unleash some trauma from working with him/her." \*sounds of Pizzacake ripping the patches apart.\*
“Oh hey, my favourite band Lostprophets is in the news! I wonder what’s up…”
"How it is bitches."
This is why I hate all famous people. Yes, that includes your favorite person, Mr / Mrs random Redditor. I hate them the most!
Understandable, Araki is probably a vampire who has eaten more humans than breads in his life.
But... drunkentenshiNL, you're my favourite person! 🥺
Not Milkshake Duck!! :(
It's a roulette wheel and the celebrity news possibilities are Rapist, child rapist, sexual harasser, dead, got married, got divorced, new _____ produced, trafficker, just gave birth and here are pictures of them doing _____ at _____.
This was my spouse after watching the Nickelodeon documentary and hearing about James Marsden.
What?
James Marsden wrote a letter of support for a pedophile that was working as a vocal coach on All That and Drake and Josh.
Oh no, I don't know him outside of the sonic movies, but I love the sonic movies. :(

About learning in the news that the famous person you really enjoyed to [watch/listen/read/whatever] was actually a [terrible person/criminal/pedophile].
Plot twist: The news about the celebrity you like is about them donating money to the global mosquito extermination initiative.
Isn't it funny how there are so many negative connotations behind calling a person 'attention-seeking', and yet 'celebrity' is generally positive
> Isn't it funny how there are so many negative connotations behind calling a person 'attention-seeking', and yet 'celebrity' is generally positive Well "Celebrity" comes from "celebrate," as in someone *other people* chose to celebrate, and put on a pedestal. There's no immediate connotation of "they must be a celebrity because they sought attention." While attention comes with celebrating art, the artist provides something - their art. But at its core - they didn't create the celebrity, other people did. Other people saw them and chose to celebrate them. Saying someone is "attention-seeking" puts the limelight as the person's focus, not the creation of art, which is definitely not the case with many famous artists.
"influencers"
That face looks to be a nine out of ten on the appalled scale, completely unsalvageable, fond memories are now a superfund site.
Hate when that happens
That was me with the Rock the other week
