    JK Rowling. Everyone used to have a very favourable opinion of her. I remember when the media would worship every tweet she made, as though she brought about world peace. Then she became obsessively transphobic and now that’s all people think of when they think of her as a person. At first, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and thought it might be a misunderstanding. But then she went out of her way to make sure everybody knows how transphobic she is. It’s become her whole personality. Even Elon Musk, whose own child stopped talking to him because of his transphobia, told Rowling to knock it off because she was harping on transgender issues too much.

    Rudy Giuliani was known for taking down the mob before being dubbed “America’s Mayor.” Now he works for the mob.

      I do think he had at least some empathy in the early days. The money destroyed that part of his brain though and he’s carttonishly evil now.

      That’s putting it lightly

        Oh yeah. He’s absolute scum. There’s a Trumpian list I could write but why? The mother fucker threw a Nazi salute. He 100% knew what he was doing.

    I’d nominate Elon Musk. All that motherfucker had to do was nothing but make mediocre electric cars and he’d have had a celebrated place in history. Sure, he was always a ridiculous asshole, but relatively few people looked that closely. Now he’s throwing out Nazi salutes and making a public shame of himself. The political right despises electric cars and hence Musk, but Nazis gonna Nazi.

        Google will confirm he’s a comedian by trade, and pretty funny. But he showed up at the UFC thing on that guy’s lawn in DC, and didn’t really address the wave of hate he got by ruining his neutral image; not in the slightest.

        It was a bad look, to say the least.

          I think if Trump had never run for president, he’d have been remembered as a rich guy that hosted a tv show. Most people wouldn’t have bothered to learn about all the shitty things he’s done. I don’t think he had many super fans before politics, but certainly less people hated him.
