There have been rumors that David's not the best boyfriend material but I figured it was usual "got drunk and poo poo in the fishtank" bad boyfriend stuff.

I cheered my head off for Starr when he beat Devlin for the OTT Title. I loved his hard left stance on unions and workers rights.

The moral is, literally everyone in wrestling is garbage.

Yea I always assumed it was just "arrogant rear end in a top hat" type stuff but yeesh that's loving terrible.

He shouldn't be spared any consequences but I do sincerely hope he really is getting help as he clearly needs it.

Yeah, Mental health isn't your fault but it is your responsibility. lovely actions that stem from your bad mental health are your fault. There are extraneous circumstances but part of better mental health is owning that poo poo.

Ignoring the problem of abusers in left-wing politics just allows them to hide and continue abusing others. We'll never deal with the issue if we pretend it's not happening.

I’ve never liked Starr much, but celebrating him being cancelled is basically celebrating that women were abused. It’s lovely behavior

Yeah, and the people doing it will do it because they think this invalidates everything he's ever said and it doesn't. Good and bad people are not real and someone can be an absolutely horrible person who's done a horrible thing and still be right about other things. Like, I'm not going to tell people to go watch his matches or call myself a fan now. I don't particularly want to give the dude my money anymore. I still think he's right about a lot of things he's said in regards to labor.

He should gently caress off from "We the Independent" and hand it off to someone who also has good opinions on labor but isn't some flavor of sex pest. Apparently that's going to be hard to find.

Yep

They don't care about the victim/s, they care that it validates them already not liking someone (and for the WWE talent there's a bonus of it taking attention away from the coronavirus fuckups they've had this week)

Yeah the left has a real problem with abusers being able to hide behind progressive language and also with defending abusers because to do otherwise would 'splinter the left' or whatever.
Especially since those abusers typical find themselves in positions of power and build whole bunch of social clout to get you reamed for calling them out or blowing the whistle; (see: Lee Carter )

They seem to think Bix knew about Rory Gulak and about David Starr before it "came out". No loving clue what they're basing that on.

Cursory glance (so I could be wrong) is they either hate Bix for ever retweeting/liking his posts (which is wrong because a) the calls for a labor union were good and b) the attacks of WWE for their awful practices were justified, they just should have been from a better person) or more likely for being a reporter who hasn't done an article on this (which is wrong because the accuser explicitly said she wasn't looking to do an interview for an article on this, which is completely fine because it's her story and it should be told when and how she feels comfortable telling it)

No, I really don't, and not trying to be obtuse. It's not from a wrestler but hey I'll take it down it' not worth amy drama I just wanted context, that's all.

When he did a big twitter thread about how he was abused by his ex, he was gaslighting her; just based off what comrades in NOVA had told me, but they can't do much since he actually has political power and a big twitter following.
