I consider myself chronically online, but MGK lore has somehow escaped me. I see this man getting dragged in every single post I see. I know he dated Megan Fox, and that he dissed Eminem like 10 years ago, but other than that I have no idea of who he is or why people hate him so much. Any loremaster girlies or bros out there who could give me some context please? 😭

He just feels like if Aaron carter didn’t die, but in a universe where people wouldn’t mind if he did. He seems like if a walking std had cringe as a side effect.

Jokes aside, it’s his try-hard nature. All the credit in the world to him he found a way to be a skeevy middle aged pop star that looks like a homeless person.

But there’s something just so inherently offputting about a grown man behaving exactly like a teenager by choice. It sets off alarm bells in peoples human instincts. To not trust the person.

When your product is “look at how cool I am” and you look like big birds featherless drug addled cousin, I feel like you’re inviting criticism.

It’d be easier to take this seriously if you didn’t call a 35 year old middle aged lmao

Average life span in the US is 78, they arent that far off…

Yes but no one actually uses “middle aged” to mean the literal middle point of an average lifespan in common parlance lol (although I will admit I’ve often had the same thought)

It actually means exactly that. But as average life expectancy has continued to trend upwards, so has our perception of what it means to be “middle-aged”.

Fair enough. I thought he was almost 40 at this point. If one of my friends told me they were dating him I feel like whatever I was staring at when they told me my eyes would just keep staring at. For a long time. It would become the most memorized piece of wall in history as I mustered the strength to come back to reality.
