I get that, I’d be happy to have Henry here with us. Tbf to us all, I’m closer to technophobe than I am to tech interested but I do agree with what you’ve said. I’ve basically just followed links when Reddit api’s shut down and here I am, so it’s not a far shout for some celebrities to do the same but I’m still not holding my breath.
Comment on I feel stupid asking this

Appreciate where this post is posted, but I doubt we’ll see any celebs on lemmy ever. I mean who are we who are here? Tech-interested nerds at best, incels and tankies at the worst. Only one I could think would ever bother being here because he’s a based nerd is Henry Cavill

Not necessarily. If (big if) there’s enough users here then celebrities will come.
They’d want to form their own instance though, and for that reason it wouldnt have the glorious drama of /r/AMA - they would just delete any spicy stuff.

Don’t remember how reddit started? I’d say nerds and atheists, mostly. Now look at it, nerds hate it and christofascists love it. So don’t say there’s no chance of change.

Idk if he’s using actually using Lemmy, but what about Linus Torvalds?

Unfortunately Henry Cavill isn’t the nerd hero we thought he was.
mandolrain@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Don’t know about hero but I still believe he’s a nerd. Felt like a lot of things in that article wasn’t confirmed and was mere speculation by the writer. Not trying to defend the guy but I got no insight into those rumors and I don’t care enough to investigate

Not to mention that some of the things speculated are not even things you can really give the dude shit about. So he went put with someone for 10 days and it didn’t work out? That automatically makes him a bad person. The boner thing can absolutely be excused too, the male body is literally designed to erect the penis upon physical stimulation. Some men can have this happen from friction of their clothes alone.
Some of the other shit like the appropriate age thing is valid, but you can’t give him shit for the #metoo statement though because the news has created a scary place for men that are sexually active.
Basically the main thing I got from this article is “Wow, Henry Cavill is a man with a penis, he should be demonized! He also values the source material in his roles as well, what blasphemy!”

This is 100% incorrect. Men don’t feel unsafe approaching women because of the MeToo movement. Only incels and rapists are concerned, and they should be.

He dated someone who killed animals! I definitely can’t support the killing of animals. No way no how. Oh eating animals is fine though I can support that.
(This is sarcasm to agree that this article is kind of trash)

Read the article, there’s nothing here that makes him into a dick.
Sharpiemarker@startrek.website 8 months ago
I didn’t say he was a dick. Those are your words. I said he wasn’t the nerd hero people think he is.
In October 2015, 32-year-old Cavill fell for a 19-year-old Bristol University student at Mahiki nightclub in London. Her name was Tara King, and Cavill went public with their relationship shortly after it began.
In 2018, Cavill engineered a self-made disaster with his astonishingly insensitive remarks about how the #MeToo movement inconvenienced his love life.According to a leaked transcript from the Deux U by DeuxMoi podcast, an anonymous source claimed that Cavill’s behavior on the set of The Witcher was distressing for some of his female colleagues. The source claimed that Cavill immersed himself in gaming and underwent noticeable personality changes on set in Season 2 of the series. The actor was said to deliberately sabotage the work of producer and showrunner Lauren Hissrich and the female writers on the show. According to the source, Cavill habitually disregarded and overlooked the women, undermining their ability to do their jobs. Instead, he is said to have bonded with a male writer and took to writing scenes himself without consulting with his other colleagues. The source also suggested that Cavill’s misogyny increased as work on new episodes of the show progressed, creating a challenging and oppressive environment for female staff.

Agreed. My SO is looking for an alternative to reddit but I have nothing to recommend her to. I don’t even try to get her into Lemmy because there nothing here for her. This place is way more niche than most people here realize and the entire Lemmy as a whole is compareable in size and actvity to a single relatively popular subreddit.
volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 8 months ago
True. Apart from mediocre memes and the same news over and over there is not much to do here if you aren’t into tech. It might actually be good if you spend too much time on reddit, but then again there’s also a sense of community and, let’s be honest, mindless relaxation in communities like makeup addiction, new parents, AITA or moldly interesting. They are all missing here. I had just discovered a bra that fits before the reddit shutdown. Now I will never find a bra that fits I guess.
I just hope to wait and see more ordinary people come along.
