Just say Kotaku. Shit.

Were they written by the same person.

That's exactly what I came here to ask.

Yeah, they are both shit people. More analogous, Jenny McCarthy gets shit on but not Jim Carrey.

Jenny McCarthy was the face of the anti-vax movement for years, while it's entirely possible for people who don't go looking to be unaware of Carrey's position. It's less a double standard and more "of course the person who's much louder and more public about a terrible opinion catches more flak for it".

As much as I hate it, it makes sense to me that some people are scared of vaccines. I hate it but I get it. I don't support people who perpetuate the garbage about their opinions being as important as scientific evidence, but I understand why someone would want to believe they don't have to take that step and their children will be fine if they don't vaccinate.

It makes zero sense to me that anybody would think Sandy Hook was a hoax.

Being afraid of vaccines also makes zero sense. Both positions require rejecting reality entirely in favor of leaping to an entirely unsupported conclusion based on loud yelling from idiots with all the credibility of a toxic waste dump.

nayrt but I think ayrt's point is, if you distrust "Big Pharma" and are squicked out about the idea of putting foreign chemicals in your body, you can start to see how these people came to their conclusions. It's not *intended* to be malicious, even if it's actively causing harm. I have no trouble understanding the thought process and suspicions of these people, even if I disagree.

Unsupported conclusions, absolutely. But if you don't trust the people telling you they are unsupported (pharmaceutical companies, government, etc.), that's how you get to that mindset. And it's a default position of *not* wanting to do something to your body that you don't understand.

There are people who don't vaccinate that aren't conspiracy nuts. I think for some people the fear of having a bad reaction or needles (valid fears, IMO) makes them more vulnerable to the idea that they'll probably be fine avoiding them, sadly. People feel false reassurance from seeing other families saying they don't vaccinate and none of them have died.

I personally hate getting them and I have to force myself. If I had been raised to believe they were harmful I wouldn't have gone out of my way to question it.

What is going on here exactly?

Ronda Rousey tweeted a link to a Sandy Hook (mass shooting of an elementary school in the US) conspiracy video that claimed it was fake

Jim Carrey is anti-vax (falsely believes vaccines are toxic/cause autism and therefore doesn't believe we should vaccinate). It's even on his Wikipedia page.

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with the articles in question but like... Rousey was in the news recently for her thing and Carrey hasn't been as far as I'm aware? I don't think that saying someone is shitty at the time when they do something shitty means that you have to cancel everyone for all time always. But again, I'm not totally familiar with the context

Wait, source? Does Ronda Rousey actually think the massacre was a conspiracy? I'm really shocked and disappointed in her if that's the case..

Way back in 2013

Sorta OT but every single shooting denier in this country should rot from the inside out. We just had another one today, its breaking news in Colorado as I type this, and it wont be long before there's a bunch of evil bags of shit calling it a false flag and a government plot to take our fucking guns.

I agree. They should rot. Especially the ones who call the victims' families. Those ones should suffer and then rot.

I agree 100%

Agreed. You have to be a real piece of shit to even entertain that idea.

So glad to see we've learned absolutely fuck all twenty years on from Columbine :/. What a great legacy we're leaving these young generations.

Uh-huh.
Don't get me started about the NRA.
I don't need to behave as if I'm rabid.

I don't know why people keep saying he looks like the only good thing about the movie. His parts were cringey and lame. He's just playing the same character he's played since the 90's

In all fairness, he's played other characters. He's actually a really good actor. It's just that he keeps coming back to this character.

I'm always baffled when I see how exteremly popular they are with adult women as well, because they look way too boyish (young?) to be sexy to my eyes.

You might be responding to the wrong secret
