I always suspected this fucking guy was alright...

Sometimes it isn't the guys you least expected.

Unfortunately I’m at the age where you see a lot of your heros images decay in front of you. What I’ve picked up on is that, at the end of the day, you will never ever know any of these people unless you personally know them and have an open and honest relationship with them.

Now I just treat celebrities as companies, if they make cool stuff, I dig their work but that’s where the line is drawn.

Shout out to all the shitty fucking male role models in the world 🖤🖤🖤 /s

Now I just treat celebrities as companies

Hard agree on this.

It seems to me that the process of becoming a celebrity either makes people shitty, or shitty people have a huge ststistic advantage to become celebrities. As if it comes with the territory.

The same is with companies - all of them are here to make money and most of them are happy to test the line of right and wrong.

So it's refreshing when you come across a celebrity or company that care.

But then there are those who do their best to be seen as the good ones and then suddenly take off their masks and you see you've been approving of human excrement.

I’m not really a devout religious person, but I think the concept of selling “your soul” for cash is pretty universal and doesn’t actually require any sort of god to be true, not to say there isn’t one of course.

You sell your attitude to companies, your time, your money, your energy, everything. And know people are actually selling their voices and images for AI profit too.

I get it, we all need money to get by but, it seems some people want to go past getting by and end up spending what time and energy they have left on earth for the prospect of a better future that only certain people ever achieve.

Idk I’m not so convinced in my own words either. Willing to debate if anyone’s interested!

You're right.

Thankfully in this instance, it's a joke, playing with your expectations of headlines. But yeah, celebs are companies

[-] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

They are marketing companies that supply advertising & influence to the people who pay them.

He's just a really standup guy, I don't know what else to say. What do you expect, he's Neo.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

That's why he has a career. He's really easy to work with so he keeps getting roles, even though his performances aren't great.

[-] spez@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago

The court convicts him of the charges immediately!

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 18 points 2 years ago

Indeed. Here’s the evidence:

Repeat non-offender

Jesus, they all look so terrified

You would be too if you were meeting John Wick.

World: die young enough to be a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

Keanu Reeves: challenge accepted.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

If news ever gets out that he was secretly a bastard, the whole internet is gonna cry our fucking eyes out. Please let him stay as nice as we think he is.

People coming from reddit want a replay instead of a fresh start I guess
