Are there any celebrities that are confirmed to be using lemmy?

I know celebs have used Reddit, have any followed us to Lemmy that are confirmed. For example I know Adam from mythbusters was an active redditor or Arnold Schwarzenegger etc. Do we know if any have came along with us

      Don’t know about hero but I still believe he’s a nerd. Felt like a lot of things in that article weren’t confirmed and were mere speculations by the writer. Not trying to defend the guy but I got no insight into those rumors and I don’t care enough to investigate

        Not to mention that some of the things speculated are not even things you can really give the dude shit about. So he went put with someone for 10 days and it didn’t work out? That automatically makes him a bad person. The boner thing can absolutely be excused too, the male body is literally designed to erect the penis upon physical stimulation. Some men can have this happen from friction of their clothes alone.

        Some of the other shit like the appropriate age thing is valid, but you can’t give him shit for the #metoo statement though because the news has created a scary place for men that are sexually active.

        Basically the main thing I got from this article is “Wow, Henry Cavill is a man with a penis, he should be demonized! He also values the source material in his roles as well, what blasphemy!”

          This is 100% incorrect. Men don’t feel unsafe approaching women because of the MeToo movement. Only incels and rapists are concerned, and they should be.

          The fact that other men are parroting this tired bullshit is ridiculous.

          No, it’s not any more unsafe for men now than it was before MeToo. False accusations of sexual assault and rape haven’t skyrocketed. It’s not a thing. So stop spreading misinformation.

            That’s not 100% incorrect because I actually know people like this. Yes it does not apply to everyone but to ignore that it has affected normal men to some capacity would be ridiculous.

            Keep in mind that I’m not saying there is anything wrong with #metoo itself, I think it is an awesome movement that helps put power in the hands of victims, I am simply stating that there are people who are not victims that abuse the movement for attention or financial gain which have hurt innocent PEOPLE, not just men. Everything good will always have a downside, that is just how it is.

              The difference is, you don’t criticize a movement because of some outliers. And bringing up outliers in a movement just makes you seem like you have an agenda, or in this case like you’re defending rapists.

                How am I criticizing a movement by making it aware that these things happen?

                makes you seem like you have an agenda, or in this case like you’re defending rapists.

                Oh fuck off, this conversation is done. If you genuinely somehow think it looks like I’m defending rapists based off what I said, then you are one of the last people who need to be involved in a legal movement. Remember, it is innocent until proven guilty, just because I’m not bloodthirsty to put someone in prison for twenty years before any evidence comes out doesn’t mean I do not support a movement whatsoever. I’m simply stating the fact that outliers like that HURT the movement, if you somehow cannot see that, then I cannot converse with you further.

        He dated someone who killed animals! I definitely can’t support the killing of animals. No way no how. Oh eating animals is fine though I can support that.

        (This is sarcasm to agree that this article is kind of trash)

        I didn’t say he was a dick. Those are your words. I said he wasn’t the nerd hero people think he is.

        In October 2015, 32-year-old Cavill fell for a 19-year-old Bristol University student at Mahiki nightclub in London. Her name was Tara King, and Cavill went public with their relationship shortly after it began.
        In 2018, Cavill engineered a self-made disaster with his astonishingly insensitive remarks about how the #MeToo movement inconvenienced his love life.

        According to a leaked transcript from the Deux U by DeuxMoi podcast, an anonymous source claimed that Cavill’s behavior on the set of The Witcher was distressing for some of his female colleagues. The source claimed that Cavill immersed himself in gaming and underwent noticeable personality changes on set in Season 2 of the series. The actor was said to deliberately sabotage the work of producer and showrunner Lauren Hissrich and the female writers on the show. According to the source, Cavill habitually disregarded and overlooked the women, undermining their ability to do their jobs. Instead, he is said to have bonded with a male writer and took to writing scenes himself without consulting with his other colleagues. The source also suggested that Cavill’s misogyny increased as work on new episodes of the show progressed, creating a challenging and oppressive environment for female staff.
