“I maintain that it is the most disappointing character arc of my generation.”

I'm an NYC-based Viral Resident Writer covering what people are talking about on their feeds, from the culturally revealing to the deeply personal to the genuinely unhinged.

Note: This list contains mentions of suicide, substance abuse, sexual assault, and other sensitive topics.

—SortHuman9786"Amanda Bynes really hurts because she was so naturally funny and talented. It’s sad watching someone who seemed so full of potential have such a rough time."

—Plastic-Low6681"She was such a bright, talented kid star, and watching her public mental health struggles over the years has been really heartbreaking."

—FarewelltoNS"Incredible talent eaten up by drug addiction."

"The police continued to hassle him for years after the movie theater incident. It's as if they decided he was guilty of far worse than anything he'd actually done, and they were determined to pin something on him."

"She is a victim. She needed mental health support and not to be used as a cash cow by those who put her in a conservatorship."

"This was my choice as well. I miss the person I thought he was when I was a kid. He seemed so wholesome when I was growing up, which made learning about his horrific actions hit even harder."

"Finding out that America's wholesome dad was a serial rapist and predator for decades, long before he got the show, was virtually inconceivable."

"I miss the days when a presidential candidate cheating on his wife actually had a negative impact on his career."

"Man, I used to love watching Charlie Rose; he used to actually ask tough questions to people."

Following the accusations, Rose issued a statement apologizing for his "inappropriate behavior" and stating that he was "greatly embarrassed," although he said he believed some of the interactions mentioned in the report were consensual.

"It wasn't the cheating that made him an asshole; it was the aggressive lawsuits and PR denying cheating that made him an asshole. Bro could have just shut up and been a legend forever."

"I adored her and was working for the brand when she passed, although she was long removed from the company at that point. I was so sad."

"American Gods is one of my favorite books. Coraline is my favorite 3D movie and one of my favorite kids' movies. So disappointed and horrified by Gaiman's alleged actions."

Gaiman has strongly denied engaging in any nonconsensual sexual activity. In a statement responding to the allegations, he said he had “never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone,” while acknowledging that, looking back on some of his relationships, he had been “emotionally unavailable while being sexually available” and could have behaved better.

"I love the Harry Potter franchise. Grew up with the books being released, and attended the release parties at Waldenbooks. BUT Rowling can fuck herself straight off a cliff for all I care with her anti-trans views."

"Not to mention his actions derailed one of the biggest franchises of all time. Permanent messy ripples in the Marvel Cinematic Universe because of him."

"Shia LaBeouf, genuinely good actor. Just bad, bad choices."

"I didn't like Will Smith losing it at the Oscars at all and wish it had never happened."

"He was always a massive narcissist, though; the signs had been more than evident for years. The slap forced people to finally acknowledge how seriously Will Smith took himself and his brand."
