I personally found his style really abrasive

the goofball science schtick doesn't work for you? I know him from his old tv show from my youth.

Reddit was shitting all over him too, stating mostly that he’s a prick and not friendly IRL at all.

well that's... kinda an endorsement for me lol. most of reddit is a prick and not friendly irl from my own experiences.

appreciate the reply

I've never seen the originals, as he's not that popular in Europe. My only exposure is "Bill Nye Saves The World" on Netflix. I couldn't get past the first episode.

I'm a big fan of Sagan, and while I don't think NDT'a Cosmos: A Space time Odyssey was as good as the first series, I was mostly looking at Nye's show with the same lense and trying to draw comparisons between them.

Actually bill Nye is a well known asshole, but keep defending your celebrity gods

It’s important that you understand the difference between calling out the irony in a person like you accusing others of being “am” asshole- and… “defending celebrity gods.”

Being pedantic about grammar is such a loser move

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 0 points 14 hours ago

lol… I don’t think you know what pedantic means.

realize you’re am asshole

am? dude, try to to trip on your keyboard while insulting people. it really undercuts your effort. I mean, perhaps consider for a moment that you am the real asshole lol

From me too. Reddit wasn't made because he's 'not friendly', they were mad that Bill was "too woke" and featured a song and dance number by Rachel Bloom that even I found a little cringy tbh. Not because of the message, but I just think it was kind of poorly done. The only people I've ever heard say a bad word about Bill were climate deniers, anti vaxxers etc.

I'm proud of Bill for not backing down from politically charged issues, when he could easily ignore them to get more viewers/supporters. Scientists shouldn't let politics interfere with Science and Science Communicators shouldn't either.

well put. any time someone sneers 'woke' I laugh and check that person off of my list of people to give two fucks about. it's such a stupid, regressive pattern that you realize is represented in choices throughout their lives.
