    At least celebrities are just doing their job usually. You don’t become a billionaire without ruining a lot of lives along the way

    The obsession with either is weird but only one of them is inherently evil

      Right until said celebrity goes on talk shows spewing toxic shit for their fan base to gobble up.

      Being obsessed with celebrities, or ANYONE is not a good thing. It opens you up to manipulation which we can see how celebrities take advantage of.

      Young people today are focused on their celebrities, instead of focusing on themselves. It’s not a good thing because these young people are being shaped by the bad behaviors of celebrities.

      We need to stop giving these toxic assholes a platform.

        And?

        That person just has shitty ideas. They’re still not responsible for fucking over many people’s lives like billionaires do

          Not responsible? They have lots of influence and many of them collaborate with billionaires. To say they aren’t at all responsible for their shitty ideas because they don’t possess as much wealth as billionaires is drastically ignorant.

            Influence isn’t always going to produce results. Musk and Bezos ruin lives. Gwenneth Paltrow gets well off people to waste a few hundred dollars over and over.

            If you have any real examples I’d love to hear them

              You literally don’t even know what you’re arguing about.

              If you are trying to convince me that celebrities have zero influence in the world then you are wearing clown shoes.

                I said influence isn’t directly ruining lives

                Give me an example instead of being an insufferable ass

                  Cool so now we are going to argue about degrees of influence? You’re the insufferable one because you’re all about arguing about stupid shit instead of just accepting that you’re wrong.

                  Instead you’re going to double down and defend celebrities. It’s OK that celebrities do garbage things because there is a billionaire around the corner who is worse. What an ignorant position to take.

                  I guess big corporations are wrong about using celebrities as frontmen for their shit business since according to you they have zero influence.

                  👍

                    I’m just saying, it’s such an impact, according to you, please give me the very easy to find examples you have off the top of your head

                    Defending celebrities? What, did an actor steal your mom away from your dad or something? I don’t know any or give a shit about anyone in Hollywood bud, keep your vivid imagination going if that makes you feel better.

                    The real point is they’re not worth the effort if we’re going to address real issues. You really think commercials are what are ruining so many people’s lives? Really, you’re that dense?

                    Why are you fighting so hard to not give an example?
