    For many of us, we don’t care because he’s famous, but we hear it because he’s famous. He has a platform, and he chooses to use it! You’re getting dangerously close to “Shut up and dribble” territory.

        Will you please stay in your lane?

        What the fuck qualifies you to criticize a celebrity online? Do you have any expertise in holding opinions or sharing them?

        You’re an internet commenter, write about what you had for lunch and stop weighing in on shit you know nothing about. This isn’t the place for it, either.

        /s

        Now do you get it?

            Broadcasting on TV these days is less likely to reach a wide audience than posting on the internet, but a platform is a platform.

            Consider how you might feel if your tiny opinions got picked up and went viral, but then the comments they quote from Lemmy were incomplete and left you looking like an idiot.

            Sound cool to you?

            Clarify your tortuously muddled stance on celebrity opinions. I need to ask because of the subpar quality of your previous posts.

              I’ll be honest, the history is full of takes I would expect from a conservative who hasn’t tried to explain the issues of the day.

                Don’t really need to dig, experience has shown self-aggrandizers to have a chip on their shoulder, and not much else to provide.

                Debate for the sake of debate, wasting everyone else’s time while they’re at it.
