Actors, actresses and artists should shut the fuck up when they are asked to talk about anything other than their creations

What are your qualifications? Because If you're not something like a trained sociologist, then your a hypocrite.

Top marks for a genuine unpopular opinion.

I'd go with Being an A List celebrity or sports figure by itself does not bestow expertise in other fields.

But that certainly doesn't mean that celebrities are unable to to know things outside of their current occupation.

For example, you'd be stepping in it if you demand that Tom Morello shut up about politics.

Yeah unless they agree with my specific ideals, then they're fine!

Uhm, maybe you have the wrong celebrities as role-models? I'm pretty sure I've heard some interesting opinion pieces and side projects of some actors in some lengthy Podcasts. All the gossip and random people turned turfs are rubbish, though.

Edit: Idk, I've watched entore movies about Weird Al, or Freddie Mercury... Jane Fonda randomly says some good things and she's 88yo...

You should also.

Is it too much to ask that people educate themselves and stop listening to people that obviously have no idea what they're talking about? We can't stop people from spouting nonsense, we can only inoculate against it

This is a overwhelmingly left leaning platform, much like Reddit. You're not gonna get many claps for shitting on these people's idols and the industry they inhabit.
