Why does Reddit like Keanu Reeves? He seems just like another normal and unremarkable American to me...

I don't know how the meme got started exactly, but the "Wholesome Keanu chungus 100" meme (that's supposed to be derogatory or ironic to Reddit) has probably overblown "Reddit's" liking of him. Reddit is a very large forum platform that is quite varied in topics (we tend to forget that) so I imagine it had to have started in a select few subs.

Because of John Wick and he is Reddit's idea of what a Alpha Male Chad is.

It started out with him being generous towards the production staff of the matrix. He wasnt in a lot of good films for awhile but he had a guy fettei sort of reputation as a good guy despite not being a quality guy. (Shitty cook, shitty actor) but then John Wick started the resurgence and him not having any real scandals made him a huge deal for reddit. They like him more than ryan Reynolds too because he isnt intimidatingly attractive or douchy either. And he didnt take roles where he was a super shithead either. (Van wilder might as well be the greatest story never told for how much reddit hates it + no one has seen hardball in almost 20 years)
And then it just memed out from there. It probably helps that he either makes completely dogshit films that no one watches a year later or classics. Outside of the matrix and bill+ted films no one under 20 is going to see an old keanu Reeves film. Also him being single since his wife and kid died is probably endearing.

Informative responses. I had no idea why they liked him just that they didn’t like it when someone slandered him. Here’s some gold.

Incorrect. There is only one reddit, and it is a tranny.

Because he has never done anything politically incorrect or offensive, and has been generous with his money, is nice to people in public, has a tragic backstory, and also allegedly dated a tranny. He's also good-looking. This makes the horde of smelly, cancel-happy leftists on Reddit hard.

He's a celebrity who is smart enough not to say dumb shit on social media.
Nobody knows his shitty socio-political opinions and that's rare in showbusiness nowadays.
I think the "nice guy" thing is all an act, you don't get to be in big releases for 30 years without being a cold calculating asshole.

He’s also just ethnic enough to look a tiny bit exotic while still being extremely white in every other way, so he escapes being inherently evil like all cis straight white men are.
But yes, him keeping his mouth shut in public and consistently being a quiet and private person his entire career is key.

I know this is a old thread. But I do find it interesting how if you go on both right wing and left wing sites and look for topics about Keanu Reeves. Your find both Righties and Lefties will go "he's one of us".
You know it does kind of make since when you consider Keanu is apolitical and no one really can lay down his political views. A very rare case in Hollywood where a star is apolitical and no one can really tell where he leans other than he's kind and a cool dude.
