I remember thinking Eric Clapton was one of the great musicians out there.

Then you learn about all the racist tirades on stage etc.......it's a fucking shame.

Yeah, this one stings. I'd always romanticized his life - especially how he wrote the song of his career to steal George Harrison's wife - but a documentary I watched a few years back de-mystified all that. That same documentary covered the racist tirades, but...well, he was drunk off his ass for that entire decade, and I personally don't put much stock in in vino veritas, so I was willing to give him a pass as long as it was behind him. But his recent anti-vaxx crusades put the nail in the coffin towards admitting that yes, sadly, he's exactly that breed of asshole.

I mostly don't care when I find out some celebrity is an asshole.

However, there is a caveat that when it's a comedian, it bums me out.

I feel as though it's almost like a betrayal of character or sometihng. I don't know, kind of hard to explain. Like your entire career is you goofing off and trying to make people laugh, but then it turns out the second you get off stage you're just a humorless prick.

It really shouldn't be any different then any other performer, but for some reason it hits extra hard with comedians.

CK. I worshipped his comedy. His show on FX is a GOAT. His standup was basically saying shit rummaging around in my head. He felt like one of us. Then he turns out to actually do all the sick and twisted shit he joked about.

It's one thing to have a dark and morbid sense of humor. It's another to actually do it.

I liked watching her original show, The Ellen Show, and thought she was funny. Then she later came out as a lesbian on her show, during a(nother) time where being gay was seen as terrible, and got cancelled because of it shortly thereafter. I thought it was really brave of her to come out like that.

If I had to choose, Cosby.

Shows that don't have all of our stereotypes are pretty rare. I didn't watch the Cosby Show, but I heard the show painted a better representation for black people than most of the shit TV nowadays.

It's nice seeing a show about black people that isn't promoting us to want to be some kind of rapper, singer, showdom, sports, that tends to also lives in something akin to the projects and often in the hood. Or any other negative stereotypes that channels like BET and Tyler Perry pumps out like Ghetto Fabulous entertainment.

Louis CK
Yeah, knowing Louis CKs persona is genuinely the type of person he is, and not a deconstruction of male attitudes, retroactively ruined all of his comedy for me, including his standup specials and tv show, both of which Id considered among the best of all time

super disappointing, especially when he came back mere months after his non-apology with woe-is-me and victim-blaming material that to this day has convinced chuds he did nothing wrong

Ellen. I saw her clips here and there on Youtube and thought she was fun by dancing, scaring her guests, and doing stuff for her fans.

Then Covid happens, she did her show without some staff, and the truth comes out.

Fine, I'll be the one to say Elon Musk.

Some of you are probably gonna be like "lol I've always known he was just another rich douchebag", but there was a time when he was pretty popular here on CE as well, including among progressive-minded users. We honestly believed he had the ambition to increase humanity's chances of longterm survival and improve quality of life in a sustainable manner.

It went downhill as he became more and more active on Twitter, made business decisions that weren't just eccentric anymore but downright petty, selfish and greedy, and he basically came out as just another rich douchebag. To this day I'm not sure if he has gone mad with power or actually was like this all along (but then why put on an act for so long?)

Just because you were among the people that used to love him, doesn't mean everyone did. Same to being fooled into thinking he was some genius.....

You say "we" as if "we" all were fooled.

Being real serious, actually listen to many of his presentations, promises and times he spoke to those promises. He definitely showed a long time ago that he wasn't this genius that everyone should just love and adore.

Only real difference from now and then is he put himself more into the spotlight. He's actually a similar case to Trump. You have people thinking around 2016 people just randomly started hating Trump. No, sorry, he had people disliking him long before 2015ish too. His presidential run just put a grand spotlight on why some already hated him.

For what it's worth, I had no opinion on Musk and only really heard about him during the doge era. I thought it was a decently humourous passing meme. I didn't mind him.

Then all his other bullshit started and my opinion went from nothing to sour. I can see a timeline where he isn't such a slime though.
