These posts are making the same point: It's not the small group (leftist, brit wres, etc) that is responsible for the issue but the larger group (men) and trying to pin it on the small group is not useful to tackling the actual root of the issue which lays in the larger group.

Just as a heads up for you, I didn't attack you at all. I was asking WHY the hell people were dogpiling you, and saw you pretty much covered it on the twitter at the same time ichi asked me to take the question down.


:) trust me, I don't understand at all the correlation some people made between the two of you and just wanted clarity :)
Catching up on the thread and while your post was gone, I was referring to the Twitter dogpile, not whoever asked about it here.

I'm gonna gnaw on this for a bit because I'm not lucid enough atm to craft an argument that doesn't sound like a "not all men" rear end in a top hat. But I take your point.

It's not the small group (men) that is responsible for this but the larger group (people) and trying to pin it on the small group is not useful to tackling the actual root of the issue.

The issue is that people will sacrifice morality for personal benefit. See: The treatment of Brett Kavanaugh by the Democratic Party vs. the treatment of Joe Biden as an example.

Marty always gets named as a notorious nonce but I've never seen anyone ever say what it is he's supposed to have done to earn it.

Not looking to defend him, it's just something that's puzzled me for years.

Didn't Candace post about how professional Joey Ryan was or was it Joey Ryan congratulating himself. I don't pay attention to him because he's a dweeb.

I would not trust any anonymous account that exists to drag people. There's always an angle.

Someone once told me the crossover with pop-punk scene seemed to bring in a lot of boys being boys mentality. I dunno if that's true or not. My experience with local punk scenes is there's a lot of sex pests and people will let them get away with it if they're "important."

The one known one was him hitting on underage girls back when he was Party Marty in RevPro.

Someone asking about Pollyanna being blackballed, how else can you explain the progressive wrestling promotion EVE not booking one of the top UK women's wrestlers at the time?

Every single one of those people had either accusers name them outright today or rumors swirl around them either this year (Ryan) or for years before (Marty)

Around the start of #MeToo wrestletwitter had been saying it was a matter of time before BritWres' part came out. Shutting it down as untrustworthy or devious ain't the move, right now or at all

I would have to be reading this as I'm watching the last two matches of Riptide's first show on IWTV, one featuring Ryan, one featuring Marty. Here's hoping 2017 Jimmy Havoc knocks some of his teeth out.

I think it's a good time in history (in many corners of society) to reexamine how many people assume power/crave power/demand power so they're in a better position to abuse

The Jimmy Savile Conundrum

Marty turning down a guaranteed contract with AEW so he can "learn to book" has always looked suspect

Almost like he saw what others did in that position and said "I want in on that"

Based on last week's ROH TV I watched the only reason Marty took the book was to get Brody King over(who was featured in every single match on the show).

Could Marty be a creep? Maybe, maybe not, I don't pay attention to him. Like Joey Ryan, he could fall to his death and I wouldn't care when I heard about it a week later.

Was Marty a creep? Signs point to probably. I heard he took fanpics with an underage girl and people razzed on him for doing it. I'd also heard he'd try to pick up girls after all ages shows and didn't ID check.

It's horrible all these things happened, but good that they're coming out. Things like this build up in any organisation unless it's regularly cleansed with fire like this. Sometimes they've built up so much that the fire brings the whole place down. All that means is that there wasn't much left to save.

Full support to the people coming forward.
