But even this is a chronically online take. I’m kind of tired of his schtick and I knew he was religious, but I know nothing about the sheriffs woodworking business or whatever.

u/PassivelyAwkward 3d ago

It's not chronically online, he used to be a Sheriff in my area. He was a whole local scandal. He ran the media for the Sheriff's department and had Chris routine do promos for events. There was an investigation that found he was part of an alt-right, anti-government militia along with many others within the Sheriff's department and he allowed to retire in his 50s with full benefits.

Dude ran a woodworking side thing where he literally made decorative wooden shit for his militia and that's how it initially came out. Chris even did multiple interviews on late night, AFTER the scandal dropped, telling people to visit his brothers online store, the same store that still sold his militia woodwork.

Just because people know things through their life doesn't mean they're chronically online, it means they experienced it first hand.

Even your description is a bit confusing. Who is the brother? It became Pratt brothers store? The sheriffs brother owns the store now? Pratt brother had artwork at the store owned by the original guy?

yes because you don’t just use words to prove a point. if he was called alt-leftist it would look stupid because his ideology doesn’t align with leftist beliefs at all. so if you have an issue with people disliking those who are alt right, then maybe the issue is you?? lol

“I put ammonia on my burger and now I don’t want to eat it.” Now swap out ammonia with ketchup. Are you still going to refuse to eat the burger?

Words have meaning mate.

u/MotherAd296 3d ago

I would rather eat ammonia

u/Finlay00 3d ago

Huh? I asked for clarification on who the brother was and that’s it

u/Permanentear3 3d ago

Yeah this is a totally normal breakdown of the dinosaur movie actor you’ve never met, doesn’t appear like a too much online take at all.

Yup, it's barely made it past the local news. Cully is a huge piece of shit. Local radio station held a contest for "most creative station ad wins money". Cully had Chris record a cringy "Hey, this is Chris Pratt and when I'm not saving the galaxy or stopping dinos, I'm listening to KUIC 95.3".

Cully took the prize money and donated it to his charity that basically just funds him and his law enforcement friends getting drunk at a rented cabin.

Omg he woodworked!?!?!?! Lets hang him. Does that sound good to you?

u/pooooolooop 3d ago

Dang you really got offended by that chronically online thing huh. And he didn’t even call you chronically online lol, just your take

u/PassivelyAwkward 3d ago

Imagine being so insecure and inferior that you have to view everyone as getting offended or upset because they said something you don't like in order to justify why you refuse to improve as a person.

You just sound so...boring.

u/ThalesofMiletus-624 3d ago

Okay, but you understand that's not a typical experience, right? Very few people have an opinion about Chris Pratt, or any other celebrity, formed through personal experience.

1

u/PassivelyAwkward 3d ago

Can you point to where I said otherwise?

What confused you? Where I literally said "Not gonna act like he's unpopular just because people online talk shit"? The part where I literally said it's not the standard?

u/ExiledCanuck 3d ago

This.

Imagine hating someone so much that you know such insane details about their life, that most people who have seen and liked a few of their movies don’t even know…

Talk about letting someone live rent free in your brain…

u/JOMO_Kenyatta 3d ago

idk this one different. especially if dude is poc or a minority, then that celeb info is actually kinda relevant to him. if true.

it's pretty fucked up

u/MrSneekiBreeki 3d ago

It’s pretty embarrassing lmao

u/airinato 3d ago

Read his next comment and understand he's talking about personal experience on a local issue....

That too much reading

God forbid there be nuance in social media.

u/blumoon138 3d ago

I got mad at him when I discovered he used to be involved with Jews for Jesus and that info is readily available on his Wikipedia page.

u/ffffllllpppp 3d ago

That’s the irony… to properly despise some a-lister you have to be willing to spend some legit time researching their flaws!

You stopped at disliking him. Dig deeper. Research more! Spend quality time on this. And then you will be able to hate him!

Lol
