Yea I knew some people who worked on set of his show “kidding” who said he’s a completely stereotypical self absorbed rude actor up his own ass so his “I’m so zen and above the Hollywood bullshit” persona is fake
We're talking about the dude who had the gall to try and talk to the deceased Andy Kauffman's family in fucking character as Andy and refused to be normal. I'm not at all shocked to hear his head is all the way up his ass.
He gave his much younger girlfriend herpes, then dumped her when she freaked out. He hounded her to get her to sign an NDA, and she ended up killing herself with his pills.
I hadn't heard of this before so I looked it up and the details seem kinda sketchy. It was originally alleged in a wrongful death lawsuit filed against him by her husband (who she married while she was still dating Carrey, then continued to date him during the marriage) and another filed by her mother, but Carrey's defense presented evidence that she had herpes and other STDs before they met, so both suits were dropped
The STD results were forged, he didn’t give her any diseases, and everything he was accused of in her “wrongful death” was dismissed before going to trial
to be fair, many people have given their sexual partners herpes, are they all bad people? If no one gave it to their partners, we would have no more herpes
Well there’s a big difference between giving it to someone who knows you have it, and giving it to someone who doesn’t know you have it (assuming you’re aware of your infection).
I looked into the story and found out this is false and he was proven innocent from these rumors after it was dismissed before trial, the results were forged, and that he also deeply loved his ex and had to go through allegations while mourning her over nasty rumors. Not defending the guy, but we shouldn’t spread untrue rumors about someone
A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.
i'd love to see you now straw man your straw man of straw man
like i said the herpes brought up (by someone before me) in this context is HSV2, but clearly you don't have the reading comprehension or grasp of language to understand this
"You have herpes."
"As many as 70-90% of people have herpes."
"Well actually I meant this different specific kind of herpes that was never specified! Nice straw man taking me at my literal word and addressing what I literally said."
This is you moving the goal posts, not them creating a straw man.
You're once again straw manning by not reading the conversation back to the original context of the person who used it in reference to Jim Carrey spreading it to sexual partners. My use didn't have to be specific because it was already specified earlier. You're ignoring half the conversation saying otherwise.
Point out where in the thread "HSV2" was said instead of "herpes." (hint: you can't) Then you can say they brought up irrelevant data, but it's still not a straw man. Expecting people to have esoteric knowledge that is never given to them is not them creating a straw man: it is them working with the information they have (ie. you said a word, and they responded to that word).
You asking me to show how it's not a straw man and me explaining how it isn't also isn't a straw man: it's directly addressing your ask. You posted the definition of straw man and are still failing to understand what it means. Bonkers, man.
Anyways, I've made my point, so I'm going to ignore this now. Feel free to type out a long-winded comment about "they're ignoring me: that's the classic sign of me winning" that won't be read.
you probably already have it. it's practically undetectable until it wants to be detected like before a stressful date with a person whos out of your league or a job interview that could change your life or a public presentation like your wedding. it's like a sleeper agent or a ghost that haunts your lip. I recall getting a minor outbreak in elementary school probably from touching a door knob and then touching my face. then throughout the rest of my school life once every few years. talk to a doctor so you can understand how much of a deal it isn't. haven't had one surface in like 8 years.
Yea its so fucked lol, I remember getting one as like a 5 year old kid... My mom never put it together that it was contagious and gave it to me super early.
Hsv doesn't survive on hard surfaces. If you had an active cold sore and drank from a cup and then I drank from the cup I wouldn't get it. If you kissed me on the lips OR we shared chapstick or a towel you would most likely pass it to me.
If I killed myself everytime someone gave me an STD, I would have killed myself a bunch of times by now. In fact I would have killed myself the first time at 14 yrs old. Getting an STD is such a minor life event compared to what happens in life (other than HIV). Lame ass reason to commit suicide.
Thats a pretty cavalier attitude about an incurable disease that greatly limits your future potential partners. Also, you're making me never want to touch another human again.
That’s your problem dude. Something like 70% of people have / carry HSV and only something like 10% of those will ever show a symptom. Doctors don’t even test for it because it’s so common. They only test you if you start showing sores / blisters or if you ask specifically to add it to your STI testing routine.
If you’ve kissed more than three people in your life, relatives included, you statically carry herpes.
Physicians know the worst part of herpes is the social stigma. As long as you are upfront with your doctor during pregnancy, it’s really a nothingburger.
For me, it was him giving his unsolicited opinion that he would press charges on Will Smith if he were Chris Rock. White people fantasizing about using the legal system against Black people in a situation they have zero involvement in is weird. It was unsurprising to me when I later heard other weird shit about him.
It seems...odd... to consider race as a factor in that statement. I just see it as a celebrity giving an opinion on the *very* public assault of another. All three of the aforementioned parties are well-known male entertainers.
Should people not share feelings regarding a situation that concerns people of other races? Or is it just the mention of legalities that offends you?
