The Ethical Scamp @7hyenas.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yeah the "I already didn't like him" responses aren't helpful but the fact is we must cultivate distrust as the default towards celebrity. The existing base attitude of worship both facilitates engaging in abuse and the perpetrators justifying it to themselves. 050
