Famous People who have disappointed you

[personal profile] philstar22 2020-02-01 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Are there any famous people you used to love or admire, and then they did something that disappointed you?

Brought to you by Tim Gunn endorsing bloomburg. I don't think this has made me completely stop loving him, but I'm really disappointed and thought he knew better.

Doug Walker is probably the most prolific of the ones I've actually been a fan of.

Pour one out for all the old Nostalgia Critic fans who watched that whole... thing... go down. Damn.
I was actually just thinking about him this morning, how I'm really glad the Nostalgia Guy exists because NG->Nostalgia Chick->Current Lindsey Ellis, and I straight-up LOVE her work these last few years.

what happened with him?

NAYRT - He exploited and abused a bunch of people who worked on/for/with Channel Awesome. If you search "change the channel" on youtube, you can find a bunch of videos on all the drama (avoid the ones over an hour, for your own sake). Also, a whole group of the people who got burned by Walker et al put together a document on all the shit that got pulled, lots of transcripts and dates and so forth, but I don't recall where to find it.

What did he do?

Said a bunch of really misogynist shit, then doubled down and flounced off Twitter when called out on it.

nayrt

I've always been bothered by how he talks about men he's attracted to as "boys". It's very clear he prefers them young.

Yah, there are plenty of gay men around his age but he has to marry one thirty years younger!

Can't think of anyone at the moment, so I'm just going to crash this thread to give an example of someone who I was worried might disappoint me but didn't (positivity for the win!)

I never doubted that Taylor Swift's politics were predominantly left-leaning (because I paid attention to her actions, which were very left-leaning), but I worried for a long time that she was pro-life. I'm a fan, and I knew it would really, really disappoint me if she turned out to be pro-life. So when she finally did straight up say, "Of course I'm pro-choice," I was so happy and relieved.

I'll just say that I used to be a friend of Vic Mignogna.

Used to be.

oof on Tim Gunn, though. That's a real disappointment.

Ugh, I'm sorry.

I think the idea of endorsing Bloomberg is just inherently funny to me for some reason, it just makes me laugh, even though I don't agree with Bloomberg at all.

Louis C.K. I wouldn't say I was a huge fan but I thought he was a funny guy and a good ally to women.

Mel Gibson.

Agreed on Louis CK (and looking back, honestly, some of his standup about his daughters seems creepy now...well, creepier). I do hope he makes a comeback, but let's just say I'd never want to be alone in a room with him.

I used to like Armie Hammer in TMFU until he starred in an oscar bait film where he played an ehebophile and supported some criminal director. I stopped liking him and avoid watching any of his movies since then.
