Comment on rest in pepperoni
Canconda@lemmy.ca 20 hours agoHe didn’t do anything. He’s just another artist/entertainer who doubled down on magatry despite their career being built by a diversity of loyal fans.
Wayne Gretzky is still considered the greatest hockey player of all time… but as far as most Canadians are concerned his home ice is in Mara Lago now.

untrue. he spread and normalized hate speech and misinformation. he damaged lives with his platform and negligence. I would even go as far to say his anti-vaccine rhetoric killed at least one person, probably more.
he labeled black Americans as a hate group which I’m certain normalized the racism in certain groups and only served to take away more opportunities away from POC.
he also questioned the amount of deaths during the Holocaust, attempting to minimize the impact of the deaths.
dude was more than a piece of shit. now he’s a slowly rotting corpse.

Agreed. That’s why I put “scare quotes” around the word “do” to imply that he actually did do something. I wasn’t defending them I was responding specifically to the comment above.
The why is simply that disrespecting the fans that supported your success is a recipe for failure.
