When I was a kid I used to go spend the summer in Tuscany every year.
We'd leave in the morning and around lunchtime we'd stop at a McDonald's on the way. I'd get a happy meal and ignore the food, because the surprises were so much better, then I'd go play with other kids in the park. I don't think that Mc exists anymore, and even if it did, it's not colourful anymore. You can't hear children laugh in the park anymore.
There are no more places for kids. Kids don't pay, so they don't matter. Both online and offline, there are no more safe spaces, colorful and childish as such spaces ought to be. Children have nowhere to go but on socials full of bile and lies, they have to grow up fast to keep up, there are no places for kids to be kids.
It makes me sad in a way I can't describe.

Friendly reminder to kill your idols (metaphorically)
There are no unproblematic celebrities, there are no perfect beans, professional life and personal beliefs are two different things

I know that someone will come in the comments and be like "except for X"
There are no exceptions, don't make me take my receipts, it's gonna be uncomfortable for everyone
It's not necessarily gonna be problematic stuff but no one is perfect, celebs are not inherently good and we cannot know them on a personal level
ETA: that doesn't mean you're not allowed to like people, ofc you are, but don't idolize them. Don't put them on a pedestal
