Some people say stuff like "well bet he didn't get rich by paying his bills! Yeah!" He didn't get rich by not paying his bills either. I knew a lady who inherited a large urban motel and was quite wealthy, and she'd buy 65 cent dozens of expired eggs on sale and be all excited that it was a bargain. It's part of their pathological attachment to having more money, and in Elron/Trump's case, complete disregard for other people and moral principles.

So far Elron's excuse is basically "well, I had my fingers crossed"

Sometimes they even just repost something they found on the internet

'fanum tax' = some streamer or tiktok or youtuber or something called fanum who takes people's food and says 'fanum tax'
'ohio' = I think it's about "ohio vs the world" which has something to do with the entire US being Ohio
'gyatt' = exclamation about a big butt
'skibidi' = reference to this bizarre series called skibidi toilet which features toilets with heads sticking out of them doing battle with robots with cameras on their heads

That seems to be the topic here... some people do feel uncomfortable about works having a connection to a terrible person, others don't. Personally I do think about the creator of artistic works when consuming them or as a fan, and I don't really want to be thinking "huh, I wonder what Hitler and Dahmer were thinking when they made that decision". On the other hand, some people love thinking about awful people like serial killers.

The Rick & Morty guy kind of ruined his show, too.

Sure, but overlooking moral misgivings is the similarity. Just like I wouldn't tell someone 'hey, I love this sale at Hobby Lobby!' I wouldn't feel right about endorsing a star or director or artist or musician who was found to be a terrible person. The same applies to enjoying it in private - my knowledge about the creator would somewhat ruin my enjoyment of their work.

I bake the potatoes a long time, like an hour, then mash them up and add milk, butter and sour cream. Seems pretty good to me.

I don't really feel the need to use them to express myself. I try to use words instead :-)

That's the point though, that some people will use the 'but chicken sandwich is good' as a justification to overlook the other problems and still buy them. My ex and Hobby Lobby, for instance - she'd want to go there and shop for paints because they 'might have a sale', and I was just uh, no? Fuck Hobby Lobby.

Yeah, where I used to live up north, even very remote lakes were poisoned with mercury said to be from coal burning in China. People were advised to not eat fish from the lake more than a few times a week or once a week for certain fish. So... tons of people just ignore that or don't even know about it because they either don't really understand or believe it, have poor information sources, enjoy the experience, or it's all they can afford.

Thank god it isn’t people quoting posts and adding their amazing commentary such as…. “lol”
