This turd keeps in the public sphere by negative posts like this. Better to just not post and let him fade into obscurity.

Sadly he doesn’t need any help from memes hating on him. His supporters and YouTube algorithms are more than happy to keep him going.

Better to have memes mocking him than people encountering him via YouTube or his fans for the first time, because they sell him by making no him sound reasonable. It’s only when people are far down the rabbit hole that they get to see what he’s really like, and often by then it’s too late.

I sleep in a mansion I got by gambling and sleep with prostitutes!

I sleep in a big bed with my wife.

Out of all the shit Meg was never before so disrespected as here.

Even though I recognize some, I'll just ask for the sake of others:

Who are all these people?

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 5 months ago

Up top is Andrew Tate and below (from left to right) is Post Malone, Brendan Frasier, Keanu Reeves, and Henry Cavill

[–] stray@pawb.social 13 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

The guy with the face tattoos is Post Malone, a popular musician who seems nice from my very cursory lack of investigation.

Then you have Brenden Fraser from such films as the Mummy, Keanu Reeves from the Matrix, and Henry Cavill from the Witcher.

I don't know much about post Malone, and I don't particularly enjoy his music, but he did an amazing nirvana cover show during the pandemic. If he put out a grunge album I think it would be good

Why’s Cavill a positive role model? I thought he’d become controversial for some reason.

[–] argueswithidiots@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I haven't heard anything of the sort, but I looked into it a bit. What I found was he made some tone-deaf #metoo comments in 2018, and there was a claim he dated a 19 year old once.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

And a 21 years old the year before. And Gina Carano before that. He also said this:

“It’s tough for anyone to be in a relationship with someone like me. It’s a tough lifestyle. If I want someone who’s a professional they’ve got their own shit going on. So unless I meet someone who’s very, very young who hasn’t yet started trying a career like that, you can then go, ‘Okay, I’m going to travel with you and do some stuff, maybe I’ll write or whatever; I’ll entertain myself or build my own kind of traveling career.'”

And calling his comments about #MeToo tone-deaf is massively downplaying them. Gal Gadot's Imagine fiasco was tone-deaf; a 35 year old man known to have dated 2 girls 10 years younger than him saying women speaking up about sexual harassment makes it difficult for men to flirt is creepy at best and a confession at worst.

I don't personally believe he's secretly a rapist but he's definitely a creepy dude.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I was curious as I hadn't heard about this, so I looked it up.

I think his comments are pretty tone deaf, but it comes across more as naive than harrassy/rapey.

It definitely sounds creepy, but he talks about how he likes the "traditional" male dating role of "perusing a woman". He doesn't go into detail, but the general idea of that is that you persist to try and win them over. The problem with that, is people missing subtle cues and not picking up on a genuine "no, fuck off", and then it becomes harassment.

Imo it sounds like he's just realising that sometimes that "strategy" might mean your being a harassing prick, and might get publicly called out, even when you didn't realise/intend to harass them, which makes him concerned about trying to do it in the future. It's pretty self centered and a shitty thing to say during the metoo movement.

The appropriate response to that realisation is to analyse your past actions, and speak with women about the issue, and listen to what they have to say.

His message reads more like a cringe young adult who needs some more "real world" experience with people, which I guess is hard when you're a famous movie star with introverted hobbies. More bad wording and ill thought out ideas then unconscious confession though imo.

I could be wrong, but usually those sort of people are more consistent and aggressive in their denial, and then people come out to say "actually... They are a creep" if it's the case.

Yep. This is exactly the opinion I have of him. I guess we just have different bars to clear before we consider someone creepy.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I would certainly consider his statements in that interview as creepy in isolation. But whether just a poorly thought out knee jerk reply to a genuine concern he might have been unintentionally harassing people, or is a telling slip up of more endemic negative behaviour patterns is much harder to parse.

[–] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip -4 points 5 months ago

Cavill seems savvy enough not to slip in public much, but as a lefty warhammer fan some of his interactions and projects give me pause. I don't follow him so I don't think I can be more specific than the vibe is off. He feels like a sex pest or a fash who just mostly keeps his nose clean.

Wholesome bacon chungus celebrities 🥰

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

John Cusack should be there too.

[–] JackLSauce@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've heard from one source that (surprisingly) Pitbull should be as well

Largely the evidence was some wholesome responses to various interview questions, so feel free to provide additional context confirming or refuting

4chan once rigged a competition to send him to Alaska, and he was a super good sport about it and treated the visit with humor, humility and dignity. https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/comments/1cp6943/at_the_time_4chan_rigged_a_pit_bull_walmart/

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 months ago

Shit I bet that was one of the most excited/confused crowds he ever performed for. The biggest performance in Alaska history probably.
