  • I mean, I got the info about other people being weird around Bill Nye from a fan who went to one of his talks. According to her, lot of people who asked questions were asking him questions they were hyper specific to their chosen field that Nye would have no way of knowing unless that was the field he was working in. His specific field is education and science commutation. Without preparation, he’s only going to be able to answer in depth questions in that field.


  • I had to look up the sexual harassment stuff. That’s from 2019 and it was either cleared or never substantiated.

    Even if Tyson is a bit of a lolcow on twitter, there are far worse things to be.

    I’m just really suspicious of how popular it is to discredit science communicators while anti-intellectualism is so pervasive in society. It’s far easier to tear something down then it is to build something.



  • I’ve also heard that he gets a lot of weird people who are overly attached to the idea of him getting their fantasies crushed when they meet him. Realize that a lot of those “I met him and he was rude” people might not be completely honest about their encounters. Think along the lines of Paris Syndrome, but for a person.

    I know these people. This hate is their real religion. They listen to the sermons of Fox News and conservative radio more then their actual preacher and more then their own families. One of them has a homoerotic, nearly pornographic, and very much photoshopped poster of Donald Trump hanging in his workshop. Another has 25% of his workshop covered in conservative bumper stickers. Their hatred for “others” and their condescension for anyone with empathy is their pride.


  • Depends.

    John Carpenter felt the need to explicitly state that They Live was about yuppie capitalism when the alt right was saying it was about Jews.

    In Detroit: Become Human, David Cage didn’t see any parallels between the robots being forced to sit in the back of the bus and African Americans also being forced to do the same.

    Then you have people like Kunihiko Ikuhara, who when asked a direct question about the meaning of his work, will give vague answers because he’d rather you figure it out for yourself.
