Mr. Rogers scandal (spoiler: no scandal)
 
I never watched this show in New Zealand, but he seems like a great guy. Does that probably mean that we're going to find out that he is a monster?

Fuck no. This thread title almost gave me a heart attack

slunken 05-12-2018 12:08 PM

seriously

redbreegull 05-12-2018 12:18 PM

Fred Rogers was a saint

reprise85 05-12-2018 05:31 PM

would have already happened.

reprise85 05-12-2018 05:40 PM

this still gives me feels. dude is so condescending at first but mr. rogers nices him out of 20M

i'm so surprised

fuzzyroes 05-12-2018 08:30 PM

Honestly, that's what he would always rant and rave about. My mom would always be like "now how could you possibly know that?" and my dad would be all "LOOK AT HIM! WHAT KIND OF MAN WOULD WANNA ACT LIKE THIS"

fuzzyroes 05-12-2018 08:31 PM

In hindsight, watching clips now, the guy does seem like a pretty big weirdo. Of course that would have nothing to do with being gay or not being gay, but he seems like a pretty creepy man.

Although the pictures may appear puzzling out of context, they’re actually screen captures from a harmless moment in 1967 when Fred Rogers led some youngsters through the familiar children’s song “Where Is Thumbkin?,” which is traditionally accompanied by participants’ holding up the corresponding fingers as they are each named in the song:

wHATcOLOR 05-12-2018 11:29 PM

vixnix 05-13-2018 12:45 AM

I went to edit the title to “Mr Rogers has no scandals” but I couldn’t, sorry :(

duovamp 05-13-2018 09:05 AM

Fred was a local boy I'd defend to the death.

I cry every time...just that last line, I don't know what it is about it. "and a boy may someday become a man". Like he has faith that is a good thing. Because he's a man, and he is a good thing. I dunno. I tear up.

no he doesn't. he just spends 90% of his time talking to children and has adapted mannerisms to not intimidate them

I credit Fred Rogers with teaching me manners. He was a wonderful human being.

He was so good he was the second coming of Christ.

duovamp 05-15-2018 02:35 PM

I mean that in a non-sarcastic way. He really was.

Morgan Freeman actually harassing people is almost as disappointing as if this were true.

In one incident, she said, Freeman "kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing underwear." He never successfully lifted her skirt, she said
Homegirls so prepared for Freeman's creepin' that they wearing lead skirts.
