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?
Jack Black. Inspires people to do what they love. Really knows how to gave fun and doesn’t care if people think it’s weird. And despite a lot of banal poop, penis, sex humour in the Tenacious D songs, they changed some lyrics in live shows to swap genders. Great example of nonchelant emancipation and equality.
Buckaroo Banzai.
A lot of the guys from Wu Tang Clan seem to be pretty chill.
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.
Steve Irwin - definitely one of the most iconic people from my childhood. The respect and awe he showed towards animals was so inspiring to me, and definitely was my biggest role model when it comes to the way we should treat non-human animals.
