minus-squareTropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·7 months agoThe discussion is around him being an insufferable overly pedantic know it all, who often enough,just gets it wrong.

minus-squareUsernameHere@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-27 months agoThe writer of that article seems over the top angry about NDT’s tweets. Enough so that he titles the article “Neil Degrasse Tyson Shut The Fuck Up”. Maybe its justified though, let’s look at some examples: -NDT tweeted that “Marriage Story” should’ve been called “Divorce Story”. -NDT tweeted chunks of asteroid in the movie Armageddon conveniently hit all the major cities of earth. -NDT tweeted that the aliens in the movie Arrival would’ve had to write backwards to communicate. …Seriously this doesn’t explain the hate for him. It just makes the writer seem like he has a chip on his shoulder.
minus-squareTropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·7 months agoI mean those all seem like pretty decent examples of some one being a pedantic, pompous, “trying to constantly appear smart”, tool-bag.
minus-squaredeweydecibel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoNone of which unusual on Twitter from celebrities. Why does he get chewed out for it specifically?
