    Putting the text right over the comedian’s face is a double whammy when the image doesn’t include their name lol

    Who is the comedian?

      Yep. Just like people such as Mother Teresa, they were venerated for the few good things they did while every other horrible detail about them was covered up.

        Which honestly is as it should be. I personally prefer looking at the good rather than the bad, because whatever you look for, you will find.

          So we’re talking about fucking kids here and hate fueled by ignorance, I don’t think that’s really an out of site out mind kind of situation.

            I think it is. Public figures like these become representatives of the ideas they’re known for. We care about Ghandi’s nonviolence, not his racism or weird sexual nonsense. The further back in history you go, the less their personal lives matter.

            If you’re making a movie or writing a book about them, sure, display their failures as well. But a person doing bad things doesn’t make the great things they did any less great.
