Election say is coming up and celebrities are posting a ton about voting and how to register. One celebrity, Chris Pratt posted on Instagram hilariously mocking other celebrities that constantly talk about voting and telling their fans to register.
According to his Instagram post, he said “With all that’s going on in the world it is more important than ever that you vote,” Pratt wrote. “Just ask any celebrity. They will tell you. Every day. Several times a day. To vote. But me? I will tell you EXACTLY who to vote for. #onward.”
“The heroes before us did not spill their blood only to have their sacrifices wasted by your apathy. The upcoming 2020 People’s Choice Awards is the most consequential vote in the history of mankind times a million infinity,” he continued. “Vote for #Onward for family movie of the year. Or else. You WILL die. No hyperbole. Click the link in my bio. Let your voice be heard.”
Pratt jokingly encouraged people to vote for his movie “Onward” instead of voting for this years presidential election. The “Onward” star made aware to people how celebrities are using their fame to constantly post about voting and how to register to vote.
In the midst of these tough times, people did not find this joke funny that Christ Pratt posted on Instagram.
“I get this is supposed to be a cute little joke but it comes off as really insensitive,” another added. “The upcoming election is really important and everyone should vote and for you to try and take that and turn it into an ad for your movie is low.” an Instagram user wrote.
Another user wrote, “YIKES. Imagine the amount of privilege one person can have to write this tone deaf post.
This election is the most important election in history but at the same time its okay to have a little fun. Pratt’s fans defended him on Instagram after people were attacking his post.
One of Pratt’s fans posted on his defense, “Geez. Everyone really has lost their sense of humor. This is just a lighthearted post and there’s nothing wrong with that. No one’s going to take the election less seriously because Chris Pratt posted about the People’s Choice Awards,”
Another fan said, “Finally. A celebrity not shoving their politics down your throat.”
It is nice to sometimes see celebrities joke around and try to make light in a tough situation.
