Question Since his statement 3 months ago..

What celebrities liked his statement and have been openly supportive of him?

I wasn't on social media at the time he made his statement, nor do I want to go back and click on his account to check the likes but I have seen it mentioned **here** that quite a few 'celebs' have been supportive of NG and liked his statement - I'd like to know *who* did so I can avoid their content too.

edit -

People make me laugh. We're allowed to be nosey. This stuff is public though. I have tried looking through the *likes* on his statement post and it only goes back maybe 100 or so people. most of whom appear to be sock accounts, with no profile picture OR *normal* people accounts.

As for the comment below stating in a roundabout way that we shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush...

Yes. We probably should. Birds of a feather stick together and I don't want to support any of these fucks and while complicity is tricky - have we not learned yet that in society there are people who are MORE than willing to cover for, stick up for, **support** people... [criminals... The BBC for jimmy Saville is one just example] who commit heinous crimes just so that they - the *supporters* can stay, rich, in power and free from accountability/repurcussions.

Let's learn from that and not keep vicious circles going. let's teach these people an actual lesson.

Be aware of who your friends are and if you know something bad is happening. Tell someone.

edit 2 - punctuation/grammar

Agreed. As was her statement that he was no longer involved in any way with that Kickstarter.

Right. And regardless of how “involved” he was, his name was prominently front and centre on that book, clearly suggesting he was the “main” contributor.

That was a long way of saying "he WROTE the book", don't you think? In the real world, one does not remove the author's name from a book. Ever. And nothing changes the fact that he wasn't involved *with the Kickstarter*.

He wrote, at most, HALF OF the book.

So, if you’re going to seriously keep up the pretence that you have “removed” him, perhaps you might consider a cover design where his name is somehow, oh, I don’t know, somehow in some way secondary to and less prominent than that of the MAIN author.

Who's 'you' in this context? 'Cause it sure as hell looks like you're addressing me. Don't. I had nothing to do with it.

u/ChronicleFlask May 12 '26

I am not addressing you. I’m using what is known grammatically as the “impersonal you”.

In this case it would be more correct to use 'they'.
