A boombox is not a toy!

I'm American and I still didn't make the Nassar/Biles connection. I thought it was just par for the course "being lovely about mental health" and she was just stressed about having the Olympic spotlight on her.

You might say Max's raps have layers of context - getting shittier the deeper you go.

fwiw, i didn't know Biles was one of the victims of that dude or connect her pulling out for stress due to it, i've completely tuned out of the Olympics since the first day and haven't seen any coverage of it because everyone can kinda live in their own media bubble these days. i thought Biles had left her reasons vague and that particular connection was made later by other parties after people were making lovely comments about it

whole thing is a mess though

The Simone thing at the Olympics was put on the twisties, which is when you lose track of where you are in mid air so you cant orirntate yourself and run the risk of i jurying yourself such as landing on your neck. The why is mysterious but has been connected to the pressure of being labelled the greatest of all time.

The Nassar stuff was periphery but my issue was people saying they'd never heard of it and then either explicitly or inplying that it was some obscure story and didn't matter. The first issue was it's not ibscure it's loving notorious and second only to Jimmy Saville in notoriety. The second is even if its loving obscure you're waving iff a child molester because it negatively affects one of your guys. Its asinine tribalism and if you can't apply the standard of literal rape jokes and child molesters equally between things you are nothing but a scumbag sycophant who only cares about image than standards.

I'm not American either and knew the Duke case and LArry Nassar and Simone Biles. I'm not saying this to brag at you, I'm saying that just because you didn't comprehend it doesn't make it less bad or less significant. Like do you think Max wrote this poo poo because he was trying to confuse the audience who wouldn't know what he was talking about?

I don't think I ever said it was less bad or significant. Only reason I mentioned that people might not be aware of those two things due to their not being American is because your original post implied that people can't possibly not know about that and are just playing ignorant.

the likelihood of anything other than AEW downplaying it and moving on is nil. either caster has a peripheral understanding of things and walked into context he didn't know was there or he made two really bad "jokes" knowing full well those that got it would hate him for it.

I was reacting to someone claiming that another poster saying they weren’t aware of the Larry Nassar connection was dumber than flat earthers, which is a stupid post.

four, he made four bad jokes

1. Simone Biles which at best is insulting mental health, and at worst is making fun of child rape.

2. Making fun of the Duke LAcross rape case, which was infamous at the time and still infamous now as because of it being based on a false complainant and a lawyer who got disbarred for malicious prosecution. The result was for years afterwards rape victims weren't believed because of this case, and the accuser in this case is currently in jail having subsequently been convicted of murder.

3. COVID denialism, which doesn't need to be explained in how not funny it is.

4. Womens vaginas being ugly which I loving hate I had to write these words out loud.

It's irredeemably bad.
