Yeah, I don't know what I expected or why I even looked.

I feel like AEW is going to do a pretty good job at educating some of its older employees/workers through their inclusivity and overall youth. I didn't realize Dustin's kid was trans, so he might have already been a trans rights supporter but it's awesome to see older white dudes who you would just assume aren't very good about this stuff turn out to be pretty good about this stuff.

There's a thing that happens with a certain sort of older social conservative that I think of as Dick Cheney Syndrome. Basically it takes a personal connectioon to the issue to get on board with the issue, but once they have that connection they feel it sincerely (a la Cheney being pro same sex marriage back in the early 2000s because of his daughter).

Not saying that's the case with Dustin. From all I've seen he might just be a really good dude. But it's something I've seen happen before.

Dick Cheney signed off on letting his other daughter throw her gay sister under the bus for political reasons so he must not have been that sincere.

Sometimes it takes a personal experience to humanize the situation.

When I was growing up my dad was one of those "well, there's no STRAIGHT pride parade " types. Then, about a decade ago one of my closest friends came out as gay. He's a stand up guy and someone my dad has always had a lot of respect for.

It was like this switch flipped and it dawned on him that this great person was afraid to express who they really were and how hosed up that is.

When my buddy got married my dad not only attended but also gave a toast. My dad giving a toast at a gay wedding was something I definitely never thought I'd see.

I knew Slaughter was bullshitting for the simple fact that he always wore Army insignia but claimed he was in the Marines, and having known several jarheads I can confidently state that this is anathema to them

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I think Dustin also feels genuinely remorseful for some of the early Golddust stuff that was pretty offensive to queer people and is making up for it a bit by helping to elevate current performers like Nyla or his work with Sonny Kiss.

There was a nice moment at the Marvelous Korakuen where Chigusa came out for her match (singing her way through the crowd it was awesome) and got to the ring and everyone wanted to shake her hand. She specifically avoided Nyla until last and then gave her a big hug. Chigusa is just the best.

Maria Manic says she's homeless but money isn't a problem but a lawyer is 3000 and she's not sure she can drop 3000 and is looking for someone to rent her a room. Um... wut. I call bullshit.

Oh, kept listening "I'd like to have some money".

Now she is crying about wanting to box for money and not caring if it's the top fighter right now as long as there is money to get him out.

This is 2020 Chyna.

"I have money I make a salary, I have money to support myself but not to get him out"

This being Teddy's only "social media" is quite something. This might be worse then drunk tweet and deletes.

"DON'T GET ME WRONG TED IS A MASTERMINNNDDD GENIUSSS, IF TED WANTED TO HAVE COMPLETE MIND CONTROL OVER SOMEONE HE EASILY COULD, IVE WATCHED HIM DO IT, HE DOES IT AS A JOKE JUST TO SHOW PEOPLE HE CAN DO IT". - y'know that mental abuse for fun typa life.

There are bad passive aggressive transphobic takes and there are bad passive aggressive transphobic takes where you (the royal you) somehow suggest that other transphobic idiots harassing DUSTIN RHODES for supporting his trans son are the ones considering "the biblical standpoint." Not the vocally spiritual born-again 12-stepper who, when confronted with his son coming out as trans, knew that the right thing was choosing to continue to love and support him. Normally I consider transphobes beyond help and block/report them, but this was such a bizarre variety of nerve that I *has* to say something.

And it's extra sad that...I think some of them actually think it shields them from being bigots? That they don't think they're just trying to shield themselves from criticism, that they actually don't get that a religious justification doesn't make it Not Bigotry.

As for the larger topic, I tend to be REALLY skeptical of evangelicals, especially in wrestling, as I'm sure many of you are. If someone had asked me before the last day or so to name a born-again Christian wrestler who I was 100% convinced was 1. Not working the conversion 2. Was a genuinely good person who was only taking the good from his religious awakening, I would have just answered "Mr. Brickster." And then I would have tried to remember who was vocally pro-LGBTQ+ rights that also happened to be a Christian. I'm glad that Dustin can be added to that list. It also just nice to see that he seems like he's genuinely happy, fulfilled at work, and able to enjoy the fruits of his now long-term sobriety.

Like 99% of libertarians think that the government should leave everyone alone to live exactly how the libertarian wants. Also that age of consent laws shouldn't exist.

I'm saying 99% because I've met exactly one libertarian who wasn't like that.
