Hey y'all, if you're here to shit on unions, you can fuck right off. I've been a union man since I was a union boy, and I will be a union man until the day I die. If you're here to shit on the workers of the world, or to make excuses for someone who is currently doing that, go fuck yourself and don't come back.
I remember some people on Reddit were claiming once that Wil Wheaton is an asshole, and when I looked into they were just mad because sometimes when he's randomly approached in public he doesn't always stop to make time for his
harassersfans.I saw Wil Wheaton at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The cashier was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
He has the right to his personal space, but his FB was a mess of :vote: posts in 2020, and I recall he said he supported Liz Warren over Bernie for reasons of "tone."
I'm sure he's a decent guy, and I admire that he was up front about having ongoing depression back when most people wouldn't even bring up the subject, But his public persona has always come off to me as another smug liberal.
I think it had more to do with him blocking a lot of trans people on twitter because he used a block list from a terf. I don't think he is a terf, he just trusted the wrong person one time. Rage spreads fast, retractions do not.
i dont envy fame, the idea that you have to constantly be ready to suck a random dude's dick because he likes you is wild
Different people handle it in different ways. Some folks absolutely take to it and soak it all up. Others find it an obnoxious hassle.
But you've got a society that's inundated with mass media as proxy for socializing. That's going to create a lot of anonymous superfans following around their parasocials.
There's this fucked up side effect of late stage capitalism's intersectional relationship with celebrity culture where many people feel like a famous person's life can, should, and must be subject to nonstop scrutiny by anyone buying into the attention economy around them.
He's kind of obnoxious but he seems like a decent enough guy.
