Neil DeGrasse Tyson has been accused of rape and sexual misconduct by several different people, but go off I guess

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, but what do his dumb tweets have to do with that?

Also, some of the allegations are very, very dumb.

"Sexual misconduct" because he moved a bit of her T-shirt on her shoulder as she was showing Neil her tattoo? Stupid.

Another saying Neil was making sexual advances to her after she went up to his apartment alone for a drink. You don't say??

From the apparent quotes, he was utterly polite about it all, he didn't throw himself at her.

I'm no NGT fan. My comment was a jab at his fanbase being similar to Elmo's. He's a pop-culture scientist, yet everyone acts like he's the stupidest Mensa member, when he doesn't even qualify.

His stance on philosophy discredits his positions and makes him sound particularly pompous.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My point stands.

Children don't give a shit about philosophy.

He's a science communicator, yet you're treating him like he's a genius.

He's a pop-culture scientist.
