    Every me too victim who came forward, accusing a rich or powerful person of a crime. The cowards hiding behind keyboards in the safety of their homes, harassing victims.

    The hot coffee lady who sued McDonald’s. Everyone ragged on her like it was frivolous but she had third degree burns and needed skin grafts.

    The man in the picture of the tips fedora meme, Jerry Messing. He an good hearted upstanding man, yet he is ruthlessly compared to neck beards, incels, and “nice guys” because of one photo he took.

    Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, who was imprisoned, lambasted, and parodied around the world, all because a dingo dragged her baby out from their camping site and killed her.

    The girl with glasses that is used for every feminist triggered meme in the world.

    She didn’t even get triggered and aggravated. She actually stated a fact and that was it. She also did so respectfully and civilly in a polite discussion. It’s just her facial gestures and expressions and overall look make people turn her into a meme.

    David Attenborough. He’s spent years beautifully showing us how incredible Earth is and how it’s our duty to look after it and we all just never seem to get any better

    Alan Turing comes to mind. Our entire modern society was built based on his vision and yet society made his life hell.

    I’m sorry Topher Grace, you’re not stuck up at all and actually very intelligent as to why you secluded yourself from the rest of the cast.

    This is random, but Gene Wilder’s wife, Karen Boyer.

    They were happily married for 25 years, and Wilder considered her the love of his life. She cared for him through his battle with Alzheimer’s only for him to die and for every article and online post to say “now he can finally be with Gilda again!”

    Poor woman. I still think of her regularly.

    Every aspiring entertainer in the UK who had their careers ruined because they spoke up about Jimmy Saville, who turned out to be a serial sex offender and child molester for decades.

    Sex Pistols singer John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) tried to out Saville on air in 1978 over 30 years before it all came out. The clip never went to air, and he was banned from the BBC.

    Nearly 600 victims that we know of. The industry and the BBC knew and covered it up.

    Amanda Knox, right? I mean, they found the murderer yet she had her life ruined and spent four years in jail because she found the body and called the cops.

    Martha Mitchell, she was the wife of US Attorney General John Mitchell and she tried to tell others about what she knew about Watergate and other corruption in the Nixon administration

    She was dismissed, written off, even briefly kidnapped and blackmailed to keep quiet, and then later called mentally ill. It took decades before the truth finally came out that she was telling the truth and she was indeed blackmailed and harassed because she knew too much and dared speak up about it

    Low stakes but damn, Hayden Christensen didn’t deserve to be boo’d into obscurity for his star wars role. I’m glad he seems to be on an upswing now.

    Doctor Ignaz Semmelweis. In the early 1800s, he determined that fewer patients would die if doctors washed their hands before surgery. He was largely ignored because germ theory wasn’t yet the dominant explanation for disease. Ultimately died at age 47 in an insane asylum.

    Invented hand washing. His theory was denounced, he was ridiculed by the medical community, and after a nervous breakdown, was committed to an asylum and died 14 days later due to gangrene likely caused by the guards who beat him.

    Alan Turing

    Alan Turing (1912–1954) was a British mathematician, logician, and computer scientist who is widely regarded as one of the fathers of modern computing and artificial intelligence. His key contributions include:
    • Turing Machine (1936): A theoretical model that formalized the concept of computation and algorithms. This work laid the foundation for modern computer science.
    • Codebreaking at Bletchley Park: During World War II, Turing played a crucial role in breaking Nazi Germany’s Enigma code, significantly shortening the war and saving millions of lives.
    • Turing Test (1950): Proposed in his paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”, it explores the question “Can machines think?” and suggests a test for machine intelligence.
    • Early Computer Design: Turing worked on some of the first designs for electronic computers, including the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE).

    Despite his immense contributions, Turing was persecuted for being homosexual, which was then illegal in the UK. In 1952, he was chemically castrated and died in 1954 under suspicious circumstances, officially ruled as suicide. In 2009, the British government apologized, and he was posthumously pardoned in 2013. Today, Turing is celebrated as a visionary and tragic hero in both science and human rights.

    The guy who rescued the Thai boys in the mine, only for Elon Musk to call him a paedophile for no reason whatsoever, and then newspapers around the world published it.

    Horrific. Probably ruined that guys life. Just cause Musk was jealous of the praise ue got for rescuing them.

    Sinead O’Connor …she called out the pope and Catholic Church live on TV in the nineties for doing bad things …. Years later and her career never recovered

  45. Upper_Knowledge_6439 Avatar

    Sinéad O’Connor was treated unfairly by the world for speaking the truth too soon. When she tore up a photo of the Pope on live TV to protest abuse in the Church, people didn’t listen—they attacked her, called her crazy, and shut her out of the music industry. Years later, the abuse she spoke out against was finally exposed, proving she was right all along. Sinéad was brave, honest, and stood up for what was right, even when it cost her everything. She didn’t deserve the hate—she deserved our respect.
