Y'all, since the thing with Neil G happened, and the thing with Richard D before that, etc etc
my rule of thumb, for about twenty years now
Don't hang your fandom on a white cis man until he's good and dead, and even then check twice
Only a few of them have made the cut past this guideline (in my lifetime), that I can think of
Fred Rogers
Carl Sagan
Terry Pratchett
Bob Ross
Jimmy Carter and Bill Moyer are still in the "check twice" green room, TBH
