    Neil DeGrasse Tyson has been accused of rape and sexual misconduct by several different people, but go off I guess

      Sure, but what do his dumb tweets have to do with that?

      Also, some of the allegations are very, very dumb.

      “Sexual misconduct” because he moved a bit of her T-shirt on her shoulder as she was showing Neil her tattoo? Stupid.

      Another saying Neil was making sexual advances to her after she went up to his apartment alone for a drink. You don’t say??

      From the apparent quotes, he was utterly polite about it all, he didn’t throw himself at her.

      I’m no NGT fan. My comment was a jab at his fanbase being similar to Elmo’s. He’s a pop-culture scientist, yet everyone acts like he’s the stupidest Mensa member, when he doesn’t even qualify.

          My point stands.

          Children don’t give a shit about philosophy.

          He’s a science communicator, yet you’re treating him like he’s a genius.

          He’s a pop-culture scientist.
