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.
Katy Perry. She got brain rot from dating Russel Brand.
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.
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.
Neil Gaiman amongst many others named here.

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
there is something about celebrity worship to be inferred from the fact that there is only 1 non-american celebrity listed in this tgread (spanish news anchor).
that or it is selection bias
It's not a Lemmy thread without some Star Trek references
Robert Beltran (Chakotey), Roxan Dawson (B'Elanna), and Manu Intiravmi (Icheb).
All three of these actors fell off after ST:Voyager and became vile conservative shit posters. I know Robert especially likes to respond to anti Trump or anti Trump Policy tweets the other ex cast members make with "both sides" arguments.
It's sad in my eyes, but I do hold ST on a pretty high pedestal.
Will Smith. More so for his inauthenticity than the slap.
It goes back aways, but Dennis Miller went from borderline "edgy" to complete wimp and GW simp after 9/11.

Oh, Garrett Borns. Such fantastic pop music, got accused of grooming, retired.
Came back, years with a whiny track about that, not even good, so bad, I guess it broke him.
Tobey Maguire, "the worst tipper, the best player, and the absolute worst loser."

Carlos Sobera, a really great TV host in Spain, with the boom of sport betting websites and almost no regulations on the ads, he became the face of one of those websites with very aggressive tactics.
He also started to appear on ads for a payday loan company.
So he was promoting gambling and high interest small loans that are used by gambling adicts.
