I think realizing Hulk Hogan would celebrate a fascist pedophile authoritarian if you paid him enough was the worst part for me, personally. Chuck Norris, too.

Same with Snoop Dogg. Who could have guessed a gangster rapper would love the government so much?

They’re both pretty gross people if you delve further into their history and it makes it less surprising.

The most surprising one for me is how MC Hammer was a legit gangster but low key about it after his fame.

I genuinely can't think of any at the moment. I didn't follow sports or anything—i played video games. Not only that but i never cared about the VAs, or publishers, or anything like that.

The closest thing might be Marty O'Donnel—the video game composer—who is an Israel supporter. But, when i found out, i didn't really care, tbh.

However, i promise that I'm much more disappointed in my parents than you are for some celebrity.
