While posting and commenting in this community, you must abide by the Lemmy.World Terms of Service: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

  1. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, or advocating violence will be removed.

  2. Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally insult others.

  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.

If mondays weren't shitty enough, hearing this just sucks. Rest in peace Paul. Next time I get the basement tour of the Alamo I will think of you.

This one hits me hard.

Poor guy. He got totally fucked over because of bullshit prudes jumping on his private life when he hadn't done anything wrong. RIP Pee Wee

This is so sad. The showing of support that he got when he came out at the MTV awards was huge; it's absolutely heartwarming. A beloved artist.

I always liked his character--and felt bad for him when he got busted.

None of my female friends liked the character tho. Was Pee-wee a "guy thing"?

Not at all. My best friend adores him. She loves camp in general, so that may be the requisite. She loved the show, loved his movies. I took her to see him live and she loved that too. I need to give her a call and make sure she's ok today. RIP

Some people just don't like absurdism. I was surprised years ago when I learned my dad thought Monty Python was nonsense, since we share a sense of humor. I thought he'd get it like I did.

Aw man. I wasn't ready for this.

RIP Pee Wee Herman, comedian, devout SubGenius. Influenced my life greatly.
