otter,

This doesn’t really answer the question, but sometimes it’s not so much who the role model is but what action they want to model.

Maybe it was wanting to get better at controlling emotions, being great at communicating during a breakup, or a general attitude towards problems that come up.

When I see someone admire / want to emulate the good actions of others, that’s a green flag.

lazylion_ca,

A lot of the guys from Wu Tang Clan seem to be pretty chill.

pdxfed,

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.

BodePlotHole,

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.

pdxfed,

Damn, just read the rolling stone investigation…well wow if even some of those things are true that’s gross.

Sadly, he’s had a lot of allegations of abuse from former partners and other women made against him, including rape

Regardless, you’re right about BFC. Everything he said was spot on.

dontkickducks,

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.

    “That” and “green flag” in this instance are implicitly referring to the act of having a particular person as a role model, not the role model itself.

    English is stupid.

    Reserve your ire for the abuse heaped upon “unique”, fellow pedant.

    Unique means one-of-a-kind. I die a little more inside every time I see someone slaughter it with “very unique” or “most unique”.
