What I'm saying here, and to be clear I will never click the tweet, is that the pro wrestling heel's bad opinions might be a "work"

However, Uganda passed the Anti-Homosexuality Act last year, are you one to challenge the rule and does it have an impact on what you want for SGW?

Trying posted:i would not presume Ugandan wrestlers to have particularly enlightened views wrt LGTB+ Yeah, this was going to happen eventually. Uganda is notoriously a notoriously bad place to be any sort of LGBT person. Now to see if this causes them to pivot into being an “anti-woke” promotion. EDIT: hadn’t seen this, seems encouraging: HamburgerTownUSA posted:grain of salt and all that of course, but:

HamburgerTownUSA posted:Looks like people have found "Lord White's" personal Twitter (@saint_alecz), and unsurprisingly he's just another dipshit edgelord racist/homophobe/transphobe gamergate loser. There comes a point where you have to ask yourself whether the information you're choosing to share with other people is particularly useful or helpful in the grand scheme of things and whether or not we need to know so much about the lives of others and in my humble opinion "The top heel of the Ugandan backyard wrestling company staffed by orphans is not a very progressive person" feels like the line. Edit: Like, obviously, those are some vile tweets. I'm not disputing that. gently caress all that. But there's so much context to consider here culturally that there comes a point where it feels like tilting at windmills. Erin M. Fiasco fucked around with this message at 14:13 on Mar 25, 2024 |

Isn't it helpful to know this person currently being celebrated on the internet by wrestling fans is actually as vile as his gimmick? The Ugandan scene is still in its infancy, culling the rot early can only be a good thing lest the future of Ugandan wrestling, too, becomes endless beating around the bush about the vile people involved.

Even if that guy's tweets aren't a work, at the very least he's willing to get his rear end kicked on camera and be the cowardly heel who loses and runs away in the end I feel like anyone who is turbo racist wouldn't agree to be seen getting beat up by non white people and it doesn't seem like this promotion has a ton of money to pay the guy off to do that

Your line isn't my line. I care about wrestling a whole gently caress less than I care about not letting massive pieces of poo poo get platformed and popular. And what loving context is there to consider? You know what's going to make people a lot less interested in the underdog Ugandan promotion? Trotting out the dipshit playing a colonizer gimmick who's openly and gleefully racist and phobic and has been for years. His literal response to someone pointing out that he's racist was to post a stonetoss comic, and that was today.

Honestly, a fair point. I wasn't really thinking of the big picture when posting. Sorry for coming off as though I was flippant about the things he was posting - they're certainly abhorrent but in my mind it was like "well, this is another backyard wrestler saying the usual online trash I see every day, which sucks, but it's not like he has much of a platform or power". But, like, that's short-sighted when considering it's part of a wrestling scene in its infancy. My apologies. HamburgerTownUSA posted:Your line isn't my line. Absolutely. Again, I wasn't really thinking ahead enough. Sorry about that and I appreciate the response. poo poo's gross!

Like c'mon, we can distinguish between heel heat and "go away" heat, I think we can push the boat out and split out "just actually a piece of poo poo" heat too

the real way to live the gimmick in 2024 is for your personal profile to be way more racist than your in character profile the marks just can't keep up
