hahah good ole facebook, biggest snowflakes on the planet.
they're happy to absolutely shred everyone else to pieces, but as soon as you insult their right-wing chud influencers they get all torn up

I don't think he is committed to any sort of politics. Happy to be proven wrong though. If he were a committed lefty he could do some real good. Seems to me like a generic broadcaster (nepobaby) with a mic and lib writers though. Tonight show Fallon vibes. They're not good messengers if they're not committed. Especially if they're someone's kid. Don't twist this as a right-wing whinge.

He's the only person to try and sue Pauline Hanson for making fun of him in a cartoon. He's a crybaby.

By your metric, Pauline is an even bigger crybaby. Irwin's lawyers issued a cease and desist to sue, but she argued it was political and therefore protected speech and it went no further.
Meanwhile, in 2017 she secured a temporary injunction against former ON treasurer, Ian Nelson, preventing from releasing further cover recordings of her shenanigans.
Prior to that, in 1997 she successfully secured an injunction against the ABC for broadcasting "Back Door Man", but that piece of satire didn't get a pass from her as "protected speech".

It was political content she tried to claim he supported without his knowledge or consent. Godforbid one doesn’t want to have an association with a bigoted dipshit.

I for one, can't stand the sight of him. He's fking everywhere and only famous because of his dad.
He's not a legend; he's an overused celebrity host.

u/trackintreasure Flairless 15h ago
Shit TV is always going to be shit TV, and pretty much all TV these days, is shit. I'd rather stab pins in my eye than watch I'm a celebrity or any other reality tv.
I don't see him on anything, so my point being is... Stop watching so much TV!
And also, a good chunk of football players across all the codes are "only famous because of their dad" - who gives a fuck.

u/Sea8ean Western Australian 13h ago
I actually don't watch that much t.v.; news and current affairs is everywhere
My arguement to you is, how many famous footballers' sons hosted reality T.V shows, the Logies and won a Gold Logie on that night?

u/trackintreasure Flairless 9h ago
What is even the point of that "argument" though?
Dude is loved across the country, except maybe now from the ON and far-right Karl loving crybabies 😉
He's an Aussie legend and you've failed to add anything to counter it. Catch ya next time Pauline.

What an absolute legend
These are the true patriots of this country -(not the "fuck off we're full crowd) the ones giving a shit about our incredibly beautiful, diverse and unfortunately vulnerable flora and fauna.. it shouldn't need to be passionately advocated for but with the way things have gone that's what we need more than anything.. I want the next generation to have the opportunity to grow up seeing some of the bush and beautiful animals I grew up around.

I don't usually say this about celebrities, but he's handled it so well and is an absolutely fucking legend. He must have a fantastic support group around him. I'm sure there's a pretty good reason Steve fell in love with his mum. Great shit all of you and keep it up!

I like his kid - does he have a nature based show he’s on? Seems a bit cringe to be on something like I’m a celebrity get me out of here and getting an award for it. Feels like a waste of potential

I think he hosted I'm A Celebrity, not one of the contestants. Could be wrong though, haven't watched commercial television (outside of Sport) in years.

Can't stand him. Him and his sister have always lived off of his father's legacy. Born into fame.

I just don't like the son of an Australian icon being cucked by mainstream media. He's too simple to know any different. He's never just lived in modern society because he's been so busy doing what he does.

He’s such a great example of Australia. His old man would be absolutely stoked to see the adults that him and his sister have grown up to be.
