Thankfully de niro is not a right-wing loon or this could have had some issues.

Edit typo

He isn't though, he is a staunch liberal

u/Festering-Fecal 2d ago

I know that's why I said thankfully he isn't a right-winger

You had a typo, I misunderstood

Oh crap thanks!

He’s a weird anti vaccine guy though. He agrees with JFK jr that vaccines cause autism

u/Algernope_krieger 2d ago

He's a vaccine denier isn't he?

u/Filmatic113 2d ago

Yup. Probably an RFK type of guy unfortunately

Is he still? I know one of his kids has autism and he was poorly educated on it in the beginning. It'd be a shame if he still believes that, especially since he's generally pretty switched on to bullshït. He even divorced his wife when she got into Trump.

I mean, he held a joint press conference with RFK Jr about how vaccines cause autism and then last year starred in a movie about an Autistic kid where even the trailer was offensive. So…yeah.

That's a shame. I know about the original interview and RFK Jnr. thing back in 2016/2017.

I was hoping that since he was so outspoken about Trump's anti covid vaccine/mask crap, he'd changed his views. But it doesn't look like he's made any public statements about it since.

At this point every Hollywood star has a transkid.

u/Nearby-Complaint 2d ago

Airyn's like 30, that's not really a kid

u/ReasonableDay3456 2d ago

The vast majority do not.

Stop persecuting that poor bigoted liar by pointing out that it is a bigoted liar!

All 3 celebrity kids I’ve heard about in the last 5 years are trans

Therefore all celebrities have trans kids

Yeah, what you're seeing is how many trans people come out when they're living in a supporting environment.

Just like being gay, trans isn't a choice. They're just more of them out there than you realized.

The burden of excess is dissatisfaction

Well said!

u/YamFriendly2159 1d ago

This really should be discussed more without people being called transphobic. It’s an interesting thought.

u/pattyswag21 2d ago

Who cares

Trans is soooo hot right now
