Good. I'm absolutely happy for her - she's a modern-day role model and is someone I wish I was at that age.

She has declined every award that she's been able to I think?

I thought it was just the money and stuff behind the awards making her angry because she'd rather it all went to making an impact?

Yeah she's been vocal about this. She's not interested in awards or stuff like this. She wants people to stop fucking around and take climate change seriously. Instead of doing that, they're like OH GRETA YOU'RE AMAZING and she's like shut up with the praise and start doing stuff you hypocrites

Cause most people are vapid and into being famous for egoistic and/or monetary reasons rather actually caring about an actual cause

I already did that when the kid smirked at the native american though

Seriously though why do people care or get butthurt about Time and their person of the year anymore? Like who has the time and energy to give a shit about that in such a negative way?

"You" presumably includes her.
In other words, she will have won twice.

I think there are millions of people making larger sacrifices on this planet and deserve such a nomination over Greta.

But if we absolutely HAD to use someone popular/famous, my vote would be Rush Limbaugh. That's right. Over $4 million dollars donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation providing payment to 18+ Mortgages for families who lost their loved ones on 9/11

You, as usual, don't seem to understand words if you think anyone is "melting down". It's been so far a fairly reasonable discussion except for posters like you that just came into shit post.

On topic, good for her. Although it does seem she doesn't care about awards and notary other than furthering the cause. So, again, good for her. Hopefully people will do more than just listen.

As interesting as that would have been, it also would have made a joke out of their whole annual mention, and opened the floodgate for a whole lot of fuckery by the general public.

And they are a magazine. Assuming they didn't promise the vote would determine the winner, it's really up to them who they choose for their publication.

I'm convinced Keighly is going to do as much as he can to have it sweep tbh. This is the guy that gave a bigger sendoff to Kojima for getting fired from Konami than Iwata for dying of cancer and was visibly upset when MGSV didnt win GotY

I don't mind Greta getting the award and it's also fun just to see the angry reactions to a silly meaningless award like this, but I would have preferred giving it to "The Protesters" this year. Not only in Hong Kong, but places like Peru, France, Lebanon, Syria, Chile, Iraq, and plenty of others are facing mass protests regarding a plethora of issues facing those nations. And hell, that also could include Climate protesters and Greta in that mix.

Anyone can identify and rant about obvious problems. We should celebrate the people who can come up with solutions to said problems. I'm not impressed with Greta, but have no reason to "shit-talk" her. Awareness is important, but not "Person of the Year" important.

True, they have, but that shouldn't preclude them from doing it in back to back years and finding different causes to highlight.
