Eh, I never bought into the whole idealization of celebrities. There are a few -very few- that I genuinely enjoy as people, simply because I feel they have a level of integrity. But even those are few and far in between. And sure, they sometimes fuck up.

Like the time Timothy Omundson posted a photo of a book on his IG that was called "What's Wrong With Timmy" and made a seemingly harmless joke about it. Well, the book was actually a kids book about special needs kids, and after he got called out for it, he apologized and explained his position (he didn't even know what the book was about, as one of his daughters found it and sent him a picture of the cover), but thanked people for taking him to task for it. The way he handled himself and his response made me respect him a hell of a lot more, since he could have very well easily been rude about it, but he wasn't. There's a couple other examples with people I've liked, but most of those were a long time ago, haha.

But otherwise, yeah, I don't really put any celebrity on a pedestal, because everyone has a tendency to say/do/believe things that will invariably piss us off at some point or another. Celebrities are no different, except they get paid to entertain us and are thus -for some reason or another- are held to a higher standard than most.

It sounds to me like he was being self-deprecating, i.e., what's wrong with HIM because his name is Timothy. Duh. He shouldn't have been dogpiled by the SJWs for that.

Eh, that's true (because that's just how his sense of humor is), but it was still kind of an "... Oh dear"-type of moment once people pointed out what the book was actually about.

Even then, I recall it was just a handful of people doing the pointing out and expressing disappointment in a way that was far more restrained than, say, Tumblr. It certainly wasn't your bog standard SJW*dogpile, that much I do remember. (But I only saw the Instagram-side of things. No clue what it was like on Twitter)
