I just hope Louis Rossman doesn't snap.

Please don't Louis 🥺

Guy basically just puts out anger content now. He's a real hero who's fighting an important fight but he's just inundated with bullshit and seems is stuck seeing everything through shit colored glasses lately.

Generally, I've moved to just enjoying people's work and trying not to blindly admire any public figure. It's a constant effort since something in our wiring makes us want to follow people we like. But in today's society I think it's best to just assume everyone is flawed up front. That eases the feelings of betrayal later when they screw up
