Pro Wrestling has a big black and Latino following which is probably why it's such a big skew. And who can blame them.

LonsomeSon posted:I have no idea of the context of this, but those are three legitimately happy dudes. This is the cutest thing I've ever seen giant sweaty muscle guys do! New Day is cool and their origin is pretty fuckin' D&D approved. It all starts with an old school Russian heel character called Rusev (who was cool as hell we loved him and still do. He was quite literally "look at my crazy passport" to the max. He had a ceremony where he was awarded a Hero of the Russian People medal. He would spout anti-American stuff while a picture of Putin was on the big screen. When he won the Russian flag would fall down behind him. He rode a drat tank into Wrestlemania. It was the best.) Anyway, to show how tough he was he had to keep winning matches, and it was pointed out everyone he won against was black. It became a running joke because for weeks he'd come out, beat up a black guy, and leave. One day Big E (the big guy in the middle, he's also called Big Wool because he's a heavy sweater and he's also your uncle and your daddy) and Kofi Kingston (on the right who was Jamaican but is now from Ghana) lost a match, and Xavier Woods (the guy on the left who was really doing nothing at that point) came out in a fly rear end suit and said that there were going to be some changes. That they're tired of being treated like a joke and being their for your amusement. He invited Big E and Kofi to join him. They were going to make a new stable that was all about strong angry black men. Then Michael Brown got shot. So that whole thing was scrapped. Turns out WWE figured people were tired of angry black guys at that point. So they came out as the New Day, a happy gospel style group of dancing positive dudes. Exactly what they said they weren't going to be and one of the only approved characters for black people WWE had. It didn't go over well. They were supposed to be good guys but they were getting booed heavily and people were chanting "NEW... DAY SUCKS" along with their positive clapping. So they got together and they basically told WWE "look give us a couple of months to do our own thing, if it doesn't work, you can fire us." Somehow, against all odds, they got given the go ahead. They started trying to get people to chant "NEW... DAY ROCKS" instead of sucks, and would insist that's what people were saying. They started cheating to win while still playing the whole positive happy guy angle. They started dancing. They weren't angry black dudes, they were strong cool black nerds just like they are in real life. Xavier is designated as the ringside guy, and he yells so loud that the arena can hear over everything, and the poo poo he says is hilarious. Talking about Big E's tricep meat. He started a drat youtube video game channel. He brought a trombone to the ring and played the Final Fantasy victory music. They started dancing as a taunt and singing in the tune of Empire State Of Mind about how New York was booty (that's right I said booty). Big E's twitter starts getting big. He'd always been funny, but now when a woman asks him not to gyrate so much because her kids will be at the arena, he asks her where her seats are so he can look them in the eyes while he does it. Kofi gets in the ring and threatens to fight people's children. Basically they took what was a pretty racist and Old White Man idea and turned it into something amazing. And we all love them.

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:Also, she's most definitely an "I'm an independent! *votes straight R*" person. What's funny about these kind of people is that they want you to ignore how they've voted in the last 4-6 major elections and the policies they say they believe in because they IDENTIFY as independents. Usually I'm an accepting kind of guy that lets people identify how they want, but I know that if you dig just a little bit you could probably find something anti-trans on her wall. So I suggest you call her out on this hypocrisy. ErIog fucked around with this message at 13:24 on Mar 16, 2016 |

https://www.facebook.com/Mens-Rights-Association-of-America-1696450930636038/?fref=nfquote:With summer fast approaching, it is important to remind everyone of the importance of modesty and self-respect. No one has the right to repulse others, cover up! While we sympathize with those who's bodies have been ruined by pregnancy, please do not flaunt it as if it's something to be proud of. Many small children are easily frightened by the sight of a midsection that looks like a chewed up tire. They have a right not to see stuff like that, please respect that right. Being considerate to others really doesn't require much effort on your part, it's as simple as buying a one piece bathing suit. Bikinis most certainly have an age limit, and even more importantly; a weight limit. Please use your judgment and stop being selfish. I wanted to link the latest story but all of these are loving gems.

SSNeoman posted:https://www.facebook.com/Mens-Rights-Association-of-America-1696450930636038/?fref=nf George Lakoff wrote a case study in his book "Women, Fire and Dangerous Things" called 'Anger, Lust, and Rape" and I think it's useful for understanding where these people come from. I don't really trust myself to explain it, but if you look up the book in google books and search for "sexuality is a physical force" it'll take you to page 413 where it's explained. I don't know how accessible it is without reading the rest of the book where he explains how metaphor works on a cognitive level. I think it might be helpful to imagine how might you feel if someone sat down next to you just reeking of poo poo, AND that the social rules of society permit or encourage smelling bad. You You'd feel attacked, you might feel humiliated because you're forced to just sit there and take the smell and you're not allowed to do anything about it. You might feel injured, and that the injury warrants retaliation. So it makes sense that you might want to retaliate in kind, by spraying them with lysol. This framework generates a lot of the same excuses you see in our own culture towards rape. That the victim was 'asking for it,' what do you expect to happen when you douse yourself in skunk spray? So, from this framework, the Mens Rights people make sense. They're just minding their own business and then an ugly fat person walks in and attacks them with ugly. Now they've got to deal with the emotional revulsion response that was inflicted upon them.
