What's the most unique role model you've heard that was a green flag? (self.asklemmy)

I know that like Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross, and Sam from LoTR are all considered green flags if they are considered role models.

But are there any unique role models you have or have seen others have that you consider a green flag?

You wanted unique, so, Marilyn Manson.

I always hated his music, the style and those of his listeners...then I heard the dude talk in Bowling for Columbine and he is so eloquent, logical and reasonable and informed on issues where people constantly try to misframe him I immediately gained enormous respect for him (still dislike his music and style) and everything I've ever heard him say since has been the same.

Didn't he abuse the shit out of a bunch of his girlfriends? One of the actors from that show "True Blood" was one of them... I think.

Damn, just read the rolling stone investigation...well wow if even some of those things are true that's gross.

Sadly, he's had a lot of allegations of abuse from former partners and other women made against him, including rape

Regardless, you're right about BFC. Everything he said was spot on.
