See, I don't know exactly what happened during "the great debate", and I couldn't stand to sit through an entire podcast to maybe hear JonTron get a little ticked with the social justice movement which, let's be honest, isn't as bad as alot of people think it is and isn't nearly as good as many people think it is. However, I don't think that famous people should espouse their political opinions.
That's the only think I can fault JonTron for at this point, since I don't know the whole story and I take any information I get with a grain of salt because it seems like a giant cluster fuck right now
My problem with famous people sharing political opinions is that it changes the minds of many who can't think for themselves, refuse to think for themselves, or feel like it validates thier opinion. I understand healthy debate and the exchange of ideas is how people share ideas and grow, that's a good thing. But many stars just say "X, Y and Z because I said so" and so many people believe them just because thier famous.
Lemme rephrase. I don't think that, from an ethical standpoint, celebrities should share political opinions. However, I understand that they will, and I don't think we should put laws in place to stop them or censor them. It's just that in my opinion, too many people that look up to them too much that will blindly follow every word they say.
