Yeah I would hope Max's heel raps about his coworker are precleared and I dunno why one would assume they weren't The other poo poo is like, in poor taste but not really offensive to me? It's bad and I would tell him to knock if off but I also will not think about it ever again in my life

MassRafTer posted:His raps are pre-approved and they've been doing a running gimmick where they make dirty references to Julia. If you think the references went too far that's one thing, but the Julia stuff is a running storyline. The Biles stuff is so much worse than the Julia stuff given the situation of Biles having to represent the very people that covered up her sexual assault.

There's no way they can punish him for saying something that they had 6 days advanced notice of before they put it on Youtube.

reignofevil posted:So like, dark is not live. They've known in AEW that max was gonna say that for six days. I honestly didn't get the duke lacrosse joke until someone called it out here. The Simone Biles one is merely tasteless until you know all the context - which I doubt the majority of people do. So I can see how it slipped by, but he obviously needs someone watching him at this point. Vindication for those of us that found his interactions with MJF to be a little much, I suppose.

I do think making Jokes about women having a stinky pussy is not something that entertains or makes me think what i’m watching is worth my time, I also do not watch dark. That the joke was follow up to some pretty weird and cruel rape jokes also made it come off worse. I don’t think he should lose his career if he’d genuinely willing to apologize and change

I don't necessarily think he should be fired either. But I know that every fuckin time I hear "The Acclaimed top of the game" I grimace because I don't know what poo poo Max is about to say that will make me embarrassed to admit I watch wrestling and glad that no one is watching it with me. Edgy jokes suck rear end

The Biles joke is about her pulling out of several Olympic events due to having the "twisties," none of this other stuff about her has been in the media focus at all. I don't know anything about the Duke lacrosse stuff or if he might be referencing something more recent like the team doing badly. If I had to guess before reading this thread, I would have thought it was the joke about COVID testing being fake that got the rap pulled since that goes against the safety in that regard that AEW has portrayed.

The Julia thing was dumb but fine, I don't think that's really the issue. The Biles thing is a really bad look but that was taped a week ago, but the Duke lacrosse thing is disgusting. 1/3 means he needs he to rethink it for next week. The company will handle it, or it won't, and then they can have a stupid/easily fixable problem on your hands.

In the thread, we see people doing the exact sort of twisting to downplay stuff that they like to mock WWE stans for. (Really? It's "fine" to have a 32yo man insulting a 19yo girl's vagina for cheap heat? Ffs...) The "jokes" were tasteless, crude and very offensive. They were also massively punching down on young women, women of colour and victims of abuse. From all I've seen, people are not calling on him to be fired, but a lot of people are expressing to AEW that this is Not OK (and yes, I think the same sort of course that Sammy went to is more than appropriate in this situation, especially considering Sammy's remarks were rather more historical).

Caster's a lovely edgelord but he's been a lovely edgelord all along and they had these "jokes" for a week even if they weren't pre-approved and the reality of constantly pushing the line is that you inevitably push it too far. So really, I hate the gimmick and his raps but its on AEW as much as him.

The rap was somehow so bad that the line about COVID tests being fake, which based on five seconds of Googling appears to based on what appears to be social media misinformation, isn't even medaling in the list of things people are mad about. Which is kind of impressive when you think about it

I think most people's understanding is that the Olympics are stressful and she noped out. Having lovely opinions on mental health and attacking people personally are still relatively acceptable in society, unfortunately. I was implying it's even worse than that if the sexual assault poo poo is related to her mental health.

Max is good at being a real dick. It's what I love about him. Do I think it's too far? Well, apparently it is. 75% of it went over my head because I don't follow American sports news/scandals. Apologize if needed and tone it down. That's it. AEW can't punish him, they had it in the can and published it. It's on them.
