Except when they push harmful narratives. So many celebrities pushing alt med bullshit. Or relying strongly on metaphors like “war” to talk about cancer which is not only inaccurate but stigmatising to those who die from cancer as it implies they “didn’t fight hard enough”, didn’t have the “spirit” or “determination” or whetever.

    Yup, fair point.
    In my opinion, there is a difference between sharing your experience and pushing a narrative.
    Ideally, viewers/readers would consider the perspective and draw their own conclusions instead of wholey adopting the celebrities view point.
