And if he weren't famous would you be randomly telling this story years later "I saw this really tall guy rudely ignore a kid trying to talk to him"

I don't know. Maybe. Counterfactuals are kind of useless. You're still trying to turn this on me, though. Why do you care?

Well because you were the one being rude in public this time and I guess we all have our version of the impulse to call out bad behavior

How was I rude? I posted a story about something I saw. If I may, you're the one making up quotes from me. The other arguments have run out so you're down to this.

They haven't "run out", you've just ignored them I mean they're all still true - he was living with chronic pain, he had many reasons to be unhappy and to be very sensitive about his fame (arguably even dysphoric about his size, if you want to use big words)

Hard to blend in a crowd when you are a literal giant. As for the argument "running out ", as I said, I would find his stance weird if he was this kid and failed to get over it in 30 years +, it didn't even happen to him, a grown man older than me.

This whole thing is just particularly infuriating because we were just talking about how of all people André Roussimoff had very little choice in being visible due to a disability he had since childhood He was pushed only semi-willingly into his career for lack of better options

Of course he was fucking tired of signing autographs, of course he didn't always respond with grace And this maudlin cliché of a kid "screwing up his courage" to approach him and being "crushed" when denied Well yeah that's why you don't do that

My parents explicitly taught me not to approach famous people in public, because it was rude It wasn't "courage" it was rudeness, and if it painfully taught him not to do it again, well, it's ultimately a good thing to learn not to do

How often did you see famous people? The kid was scared because Andre was scarily large.

Okay, so he shouldn't have done that Lesson learned

You realize that Andre being "intimidating" because of his size, something he had no control over, is why he found being in public stressful his whole life, and reinforcing that by saying people deserve to be rewarded for having the courage to approach him isn't a great look
