Deadspin is a supposedly sports focused Gawker site that also just happens to publish guides from Weird Twitter women about how to properly take pictures of your dick and how to send them sex messages every so often, which, hell, if that's your bag, so be it.

This may or may not be correct.

Deadspin's okay. I like io9. Patrick Klepek writes for Kotaku and his very presence seems to whip certain people into a fervour, so I can't hate that.

Well, for example, they once published a secretly recorded sex tape and then refused to take it down

There was also the time that they decided to publish the name of a guy who they thought raped Lena Dunham leading to him receiving a ton of death threats. Even though it turned out that any basic research would show he wasn't the guy and in fact she had described a composite character

Or there's basically every article they post on Gawker, Jezebel, or presumably any of their other sites that less people care about

Idk, it seemed like the entire thread was pretty much in agreement on Gawker being lovely and then all of a sudden you did a surprise swerve run in on the subject. I don't really care beyond 'it would be cool if a lovely "news" brand died' which you could say about plenty of other sites online as well

lmao when will you post something with any relation to reality. they correctly identified the person she originally named as her rapist in drafts only after the "composite character" incorrectly led conservative media outlets to finger someone else. sorry to ruin your treasured thread consensus by pointing out that gawker is good and in fact it is your reading comprehension that is demonstratively bad

Nah, it's a reference to Konnan's story where Mistico pulled a gun on Alberto during a confrontation in Mexico which I think was bullshit to sell AAA pay per views. It's more like "take out your pistol again because when I see you at Triplemania I'm going to gently caress you up, bitch" if I know my Spanish cursing right.

Yes, "voy a partir tu puta madre" translates literally as "going to split your whore mother" but is actually slang for "going to kick your rear end." Madre is an interesting word in slang because it has a bunch of different meanings.

Konnan talked about that gun thing years ago although I don't think it's ever really been confirmed as a work or a shoot or just Konnan being Konnan. Most people sort of assumed the heat between Del Rio and Mistico was squashed when they were both in WWE, although there were some odd moments like Alberto accidentally(?) pulling Mistico's mask halfway off during a match. This is probably just Alberto hyping up the Triplemania match.

I wonder how many people helped design the name Myzteziz. Was there a brainstorming session where they threw out a bunch of options then went with Myzteziz?
