coconono posted:That's not even close to how the 1st amendment works. The promotion also have the option of banning the people involved, if they want to get more hardcore about it. I remmeber a few years ago there was a Fight Club Pro show in Wolverhampton where a bunch of drunk idiots were chanting "get your tits out for the lads" at Millie McKenzie (who was 17 at the time, not that it would be acceptable if she had been older). Fight Club Pro didn't just chuck them out, they banned them from attending their shows. If I remember correctly Riptide heard about it and pre-emptively banned them too.

coconono posted:I lost track. something about a donut too. The donut was from when someone within the Democratic party attempted to go talk to leadership about issues following the 2016 elections. Since they knew what she had to say wasn't going to be complementary they tried to stall her and throw her off guard by offering donuts and other such niceties. She refused to accept and repeated her request to speak to leadership, and then her saying something about how she wasn't going to accept the donuts became this huge point of mockery among Dem status quo twitter. This then led to a really stupid series of events in which Clinton Boys put donuts on their Twitter handles and Bernie Bros put corncobs on their handles. That then led to someone digging up a 10 year old urban dictionary definition to claim that this was all the Sanders supporters threatening to rape Clinton supporters. It was super loving stupid and anyone still using either of those in their twitter handle should be avoided imo.

Lacey Evans is a white supremacist? The problem with not really following wrestling that much anymore is that I can never tell who's making poo poo up.

Lacey made a post on Twitter and showed her kid working in her garden. Innocuous, right? The caption was something like "I'm raising my daughter to work hard not like those helpless entitled people who can't do anything for themselves and need a handout." You don't exactly need your white supremacy decoder ring to figure that one out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_queen

I'm not denying it, I was asking a question. I already admitted that I rarely watch anymore so I was simply trying to find out what's hyperbole and what's reality in all these unhinged posts. I'm not even sure which one Lacey Evans is, though I think it was the 40s pin-up gimmick. And thanks for the Wikipedia definition for welfare queen, I somehow have never heard that term before. We should look further into this phenomenon.

JUNGLE BOY posted:Saw this on reddit lmao There's certainly truth in the OP but as far as racist caricatures go it is a much cooler one than Saba Simba or Mr Fuji or Mexicools or Mohammad Hassan or Cryme Time or Umaga. Certainly as a white person I can't say I've lost much sleep over the derogatory portrayal of westerns in the Bullet Club. Also worth adding that on the 1 year anniversary of BC forming they had their first Japanese member, Yujiro. And then they added original Bone Soldier as well. 5/12 current members are Japanese. It's long past any xenophobic roots it may have had (& I'm not even sure how much of the original idea of BC goes back to Devitt & Fale rather than Gedo & co)

JUNGLE BOY posted:Saw this on reddit lmao I mean Kenny mentioned in his Wrestlers on the Road Eating Room Service video that he felt kind of offended at first that when he signed to NJPW he was automatically slotted in Bullet Club like that's just where all foreigners are supposed to go. I mean just because foreign heel is a common thing doesn't make it less lovely, and Japan definitely still has an issue with xenophobia. One of NJPW's executives ended up working for Shinzo "nothing happened in Nanking" Abe, right? And part of why the Elite left was getting jerked around on contracts because they were foreigners? I don't even know who Lacey Evans is so maybe the bad opinion is that part. E: had this on my phone at the end of work and like a whole page went by during my drive.

IIRC it might have been the same guy that booked his wrestlers in real fights with MMA fighters but didn't tell the wrestlers it was real. E: looks like Inoki was in politics during Abe's tenure as PM, but I know nothing about the Japanese parties so I don't know if he had a post in the same party or a coalition government or what. He was out of NJPW by that point anyway. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Jan 31, 2020 |

The latter would be Antonio Inoki & he's had nothing to do with New Japan in over a decade. Unlike WWE which is still owned & run by the guy who thought Akeem The African Dream & Virgil were good ideas.
