My childhood heros were the cartoon heros of the 80's. And they all turned out to be lieing to us the whole time. Saying things like "evil never wins", "crime doesn't pay", and all that. They were really just trying to reduce the competition.
Not so much an evil person, but moreso a fool that fell for conservative and techbro propaganda, John Carmack is insanely smart and intelligent bookwise, but i think his social skills are zilch.
Sandy Petersen is another one i really used to enjoy but the amount of times he's scammed people out of crowdfunded boardgames has turned me off from anything that has to do with him.
Thankfully John Romero is a great person (afaik) who overcame his ego, probably after Daikatana failed to sell.
He didn't even make his bitch. Disappointing.
Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew on Loveline.
HOLY SHIT... Did those two unimaginably broken people take, at first different, but eventually converging, paths to the deepest part of hell.
Both irredeemable pieces of garbage.
I listened to that every night as a teenager. Seemed like I was really learning something, but the amount of opinions and broscience that they threw around was awful in retrospect.
Adam did come up with good handyman tips now and again like:
If you have a door that seems warped and sticks or won't close all the way, try tightening the screws on the hinges before you start shaving it with a plane.
Never had heroes because basically this. Almost all people in a spotlight let you down eventually. Something about being rich makes people into depraved cunts.
Maybe not Dolly Parton. She's been consistently good. Mr Roger's too. But still, not many people on the list.
Emir kusturica was my nr 1 director since forever until I found it he works for Putin now.
Black Cat White Cat and Underground were my favorite movies.
Black cat, white cat was amazing
My childhood heroes were Optimus Prime, dinosaurs, and a big bin full of LEGO.
And look what happened to dinosaurs
I guess religious leaders? Genocide between religions put a hamper on that quickly.
None.
Heroes are for the stupid and incompetent.
