I used to love Bill Nye when I was younger, he made learning science fun. This was back when you could have told me Dolph Lundgren was more qualified to be a scientist than him, and I wouldn't have known what you were talking about or cared. A lot has changed in the world and in me since then.

Bill Nye's new show, "Bill Nye Saves The World", has lifted a veil from my eyes. The show consists almost entirely of SJW propaganda masquerading as science, going so far as to deny basic biology. I would think that even people who believe what they hear on CNN probably found it distasteful.

Today I realize that I was taken advantage of, we all were manipulated. Bill Nye lulled us into a false sense of security and dependence on authority for truth when we were children. Perhaps he used facts to accomplish this, but I find myself wondering what else this mechanical engineer has told me that might not necessarily be true....

I found this video from user "reallygraceful" on YouTube that helped shed some light on the subject for me;

Here is a segment from an article highlighting the disastrous musical performance of "Sex Junk" from the gender episode of his new Netflix series;


Bill Nye Saves the World jumps the shark with cringeworthy 'My Sex Junk' skit

Netflix deployed its new Bill Nye show a few days ago but it's only now that people are chomping through it and starting to look around at each other with confused expressions.

Billy Nye Saves the World is a science show aimed at adults but, as Gizmodo notes in its review, "delivers so little information in such a patronizing tone it’s hard to imagine a toddler, let alone a sentient adult, enjoying it."

The nadir appears to come in episode 9 'The Sexual Spectrum', which sees Nye invite Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's Rachel Bloom on the show for an odd, has-little-to-do-with science skit called 'My Sex Junk'.

It's a painful couple of minutes that limps its way to punchlines and sees Nye pretend to 'drop the bass'.

With a note of sadness, one former fan wrote of the presenter's show on Reddit: "Bill always comes off as frustrated, pretentious, or lost. I kept wondering "where's that amazing guy from my childhood?"

Another mused: "Science programming doesn't have to be 'hip' it merely has to be honest, which is exactly what makes it cool."
