      Yeah, when I first saw the community name my first thought was that it was about being sick of the endless vitriolic spam towards him. I didn’t even know there was ‘worship’ of him, much less to the point of feeling like spam - like you said, funny how echo chambers work.

        People liked him up until a few years ago when he said he was conservative.

          People liked him until he called the cave rescuer “pedo guy”… then won a lawsuit claiming the didn’t really mean that, it’s just a fun thing he and other kids used to call each other in South Africa.

            Yeah but on reddit and in the news it was an overnight change. It was crazy to watch and must have been so vindicating for the enoughmuskspam squad.
