Bill Nye went crazy? Last I heard he was involved in the groundbreaking solar sail project and speaking out about climate change, what did he do that caused you to add this warning? I'm not disputing anything just asking for information.
He did a short video about sex and gender a few years ago, it was a tad performative but that's how he does a lot of his work. Broadly though it made a LOT of people angry because even people who ostensibly pretend they're progressive and care about science, freak the fuck out when thinking about genitals.
That's basically the US in a nutshell.
"America. Freaking the everloving fuck out about other people's genitalia for 249 years strong!"
Geddouddahere with that shit, Nye has been based and solid his entire professional career as a science communicator, if you didn't like him talking about gender and sex, that's a skill issue.
If that's not what you're talking about, then you deserve equal condemnation for cowardly vagueposting.
(coward deleted lol)
Did he "go crazy," or did chuds just get irrationally angry because he had a song about sexuality in that show he did like 10 years ago?
Angry chuds all the way.
