No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yeah it's been sad seeing some influential people go into really questionable areas. I think reddit shit a brick when Aubrey Plaza went shilling for milk producers of America.
Terry Crews did a commercial for Amazon, right around the time that unionization was lifting off.
I get that you got to eat but these people aren't without choices.
Being charitable, their agents are typically the ones that secure those deals, and they, being a bit more affluent and marginally more privileged than the rest of America, may not think to push back very hard on the jobs their agents line up for them. And of course their agents may even go as far as to try and convince them it's not a big deal.
It doesn't excuse it, but I also am willing to let it slide provided it doesn't happen routinely after they've been called out.
Terry Crews has also been hanging out with Joel Osteen, so that sucks too.
