Not to defend billionaires but Lemmy is so weird, they’re always like “protect people on the spectrum! Accept neuro divergence!” But at the same time they’ll be like “that guy acts weird, what a loser!” I see it a lot around here, some celebrities who are autistic are fair game, some aren’t 🤷♂️
Jerry Seinfeld pops in my head. He’s autistic, when he was younger he liked women younger than him. Super common with autistic people who feel mentally younger so they like people who are more on their level, but he gets called a creep etc, despite not breaking any law.
Normal dudes like Johnny Depp are 60 and still chasing girls right out of high school and nobody cares
the difference, is whether someone is punching up (ridiculing powerful billionaires) vs punching down/sideways (diverse and marginalized peeps). seems like pretty basic and consistent application of a worldview to me.
no comment on celebrities. i don't give two flying fucks at rolling donut about celebrities.
