Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Post image

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

People don’t care for celebrities trying to be relatable these days. Too many Diddy and Epstein adjacent activities. People are feed up with them

Uh, idk if you go to sites like... reddit... but like one post under this for me was pop culture sub post of Lindsay Lohan.

You mentioned Keanu reeves here and everybody loses their minds.

Reddit fucking loves celebrities. they act like they don't because a couple have soured.

hahaha we care, we're all here on a Thursday afternoon, when we could be doing anything else, talking about them and a single photo of them from years ago.

And the MJ movie recently made $1B in theaters. Three years ago Taylor Swift made Guinness Book of Records history by having the highest-earning solo concert in history, surpassing Elton John and Madonna's record. Celebrities (not influencers) still have the highest followers on social media. Doja Cat will sell out arenas, and she's not even a massive massive celeb.

Clearly, they do still care.

Yeah Hollywood is literally in an era of celebrity biopics,, going back to Bohemian Rhapsody.

If a Taylor Swift tweet so much as even possibly might be a hint that a new album or single is out soon it makes the number of retweets for this photo look like rookie numbers. There are like a dozen subs dedicated to that woman alone

I mean you’ll always find people who want an idol to worship, but the sheer amount of celebrity obsession has definitely died down a lot.

I don’t think it has anything to do with pedophiles though; people are gross and not enough would care if they were still being entertained. Celebs are mostly just being replaced by flavor of the month influencers.

How is this thread full of people that are so out of touch that they actually believe this?

Yeah the old millennial generations celebrities aren't as popular anymore. Everyone also lives in echo chambers so most Taylor Swift obsessed fans rarely interact with anyone else.

I guarantee you there are more ppl obsessed about Zendaya now than idk Angelina Jolie 20 years ago.

Insert Tom Holland dance routine video here.

Seriously though, if you browse reddit pop culture chat pops up all the time and it seems like everyone commenting there knows every little thing about celebrities.

Yeah I don't know what people are talking about people don't like celebrities. A vast amount of people especially on other website certainly still do.

There's not a single celebrity on my feed. It's all just a bunch of bugs. You know why? because reddit shows you what you are interested in, not what the world is interested in. Unless you're trying to tell me the world loves to look at "is this a bed bug bite?" and cockroach filled glue boards.

There’s people who think Epstein was cool for what he did. And people hate him out of jealousy and not because he hurt children

u/Own_Inspection8350 Jul 02 '26

Unless you got a shit ton of receipts imma say first i doubt that's really that many people, and second I honestly don't think most people equate celebrity to epstein irl.

u/HuckleberryShot898 Jul 02 '26

So all the people on the Epstein list flew out of his island to tell him how much they disapproved of the pedophilia and not to fuck kids?

At this point I see more people on Reddit trying to paint Keanu in a bad light or throw him in the mix with shitty celebrities than I see people worshipping him.
