Rovert got banned for being an obtuse prick who couldn’t converse like a normal human being. I don’t think he got banned for being a racist?

THE LIAR

MassRafTer posted:

Because he actually posts about his politics and only idiots fall for blatant troll posts. Just yesterday we had people lying about him being a MAGA right wing CHUD which is just a stupid lie. So basically you are all just riling yourselves up about less artfully done getfiscal posts and then lying about how it's justified.

Oh, so it's only ironic fascism. Why, that's much better and way different!

Would seem it might be the audience if the audience has to lie about the person and falls for obvious troll posts. Because both have happened in the last two days, especially the lying.



And have been happening for YEARS. It was bad enough when he actually posted here but now people are going out of their way to look at his posts and incessantly complain about him

Yes, it's ironic fascism to say that Trump supporters are the only ones stupid enough to work for free. You really do angrily quote tweet getfiscal.

He's basically the 3rd funniest account so it'd be unlikely for Irish Trevor to be one of the other two.

This whole "attaching every single negative trait to someone who sucks" just reeks of bad faith, especially in the light of people doubling down on poo poo like he's a MAGA CHUD just to avoid the cognitive dissonance of being wrong about someone who just sucks. There's plenty of weird creeps who have good or neutral politics, so I don't get where is the comic value in misrepresenting that.

Fair, but I don't think everyone is as deep into their Rovert lore. Because the main experience with him here is that he's kinda racist and I know from his politics that he's not a Trumper but he still has said some racist stuff and most Americans are going to lump him in with CHUD folks.

Lying about him is lame though, he's awful enough without it.

I find the Rovert stuff tedious, but there's some extra lol involved since Cody liked the tweet.

How many left wing wrestlers even are there? Starr, ZSJ, Sami are the only ones I can think of. I don't know ACH's broader views beyond being (justifiably) angry at that T-shirt.

Shitball indie wrestling shows are typically set up by the wrestlers and promoters will even threaten to hold pay until the ring is torn down. So yes, he is ironically praising a group for doing unpaid labor. Beyond the obvious tone of the tweet, knowing rovert's actual political opinions and feelings on the exploitation of wrestlers makes it even more obvious.

That and even if you adamantly believed rovert was a MAGA Trump supporter do you really think he is trying to rally support for right wing beliefs based on the fact that people are setting up rings? Maybe he was right to point out how nuanced and deep his jokes were.

rovert posts so much stupid, toxic garbage that it's not worth the mental energy to figure which of his posts are supposedly "ironic humor" and which should be taken at face value

it's sifting through poo poo to find other, different forms of poo poo
