No I never cared about him he's a try hard "comic actor", was not that funny on Almost Live, and will do or say anything to get money and fame.

"Shilling for the 'left'?" The only entity to shill for is the one who has your mind believing in the illusory charade of a left-right paradigm as 'real'. Shills are those who promote this contrived 'division'. Include yourself along with Nye, in that group, but recognize the puppet masters are the one's behind the creation and maintenance of the falsely perceived 'divide'.

Not really. He's an actor. He's either following a script, or he's spouting his own opinions and calling them science. What would an engineer have master knowledge of gender? He doesn't, he's pushing an agenda or he doesn't get his fat paycheck.

Just like ghostbusters, they're using nostalgia in the hopes of turning the tide in their favor. All they seem to be succeeding at is destroying our childhood. Which is fine, it making us act more like adults.

I don't feel betrayed in the least. I never watched his show so his opinion held no weight to me.

Why betrayed? Did you know him personally? Are you friends?

Fault is on the people. First for getting scientific info from someone who isn't a scientist. Second for letting the TV raise their kids. And finally, for not understanding the difference between an actor and invented persona and the real world.

Bill Nye is a performer, he owns nothing to anyone and is very likely pandering because he thinks it will bring him money. Once he see it is otherwise, he will probably backtrack himself a little.

The loser here is him, who is alienating part of his viewers with content that is presented with such bad quality. I can deal with controversial, but objectively, it is a piece of crap on the production side. For the viewers, it is as easier as change the channel.
