Yeah, the only reason people don't doubt it now is because of the photos of him quite literally wearing stuff with SS bolts on it. Before that some people would get very "ok, he's a racist rear end in a top hat who loves cops but I don't know if a blue line shirt makes him an actual nazi".

jesus WEP posted:I’m glad you’re amused by the imaginary wrestlegoons you invented in your head I'm not gonna call out people because there's nothing productive from that, but like there was literally a "that's just old white Texas conservatism" reaction in one of the other threads. I get it. People have a lot of emotion and nostalgia wrapped up in guys like Undertaker and Steve Austin. Its genuinely difficult to get past that stuff and let go of a lifetime of attachment and its a natural reaction to look for an excuse. Its why I think its convenient that in the case of the Undertaker its as simple as him wearing a literal Nazi logo. Something a lot of those people who resist the idea to call him a "nazi" probably weren't aware of but is easy to share.

Didn't it turn out that it was probably from 1988 and that he signed other autographs with the last 2 digits of the year in quotes? Even if he's still clearly a racist.

Yeah, it was just a red herring that everyone believed. Probably because he wore an SS biker shirt around which is a good way to think even your mundane actions are secret Nazi code. Because he's a Nazi who wears Nazi poo poo.

That's my point. We can debate the significance of the 88. We can debate the deeper implications of Blue Lives Matter. But like, there's no debate about him wearing SS bolts.

That doesn't mean he's not a Nazi; there's really no reason to think that it's not being used as a symbol of white supremacy unless the wearer is in a non-white biker gang. 2. He's not an outlaw biker, he's a rich white dude who likes bikes. 3. Taken in totality with his political donations, his wife's reaction to said political donations being public, and his ties to Nine Line, going hunting with the war criminal, etc, it paints a very specific picture. (Incidentally, I was very disappointed to learn that Dustin Rhodes has a line of shirts with Nine Line, but at least we know he's learning with how well he's been repping being the stepfather of a trans kid.)

you can be an outlaw biker and not be a nazi. I think. Oh yeah you can. Unless there's black nazis. But that would be weird since Hitler freaked the gently caress out about that one dude winning gold in Germany.

Even in the increasingly bending over backwards possibility that Undertaker was "just wearing some biker thing" and had no idea it was a Nazi logo the first step to correcting that is by publicly saying "I had no idea that was a nazi thing, that's really hosed up and I'm sorry." What the people who complain about "sjws" and "cancel culture" never acknowledge is that most of the targets of that kind of stuff are usually unrepentant individuals. Undertaker knows people are online calling him a nazi. He chooses to not say anything about it. Since he was brought up I think part of the reason people are more sympathetic to Dustin Rhodes is because even though he's got some bad Blue Lives Matter type stuff he's also got some good stuff so he feels more like a work in progress or someone that might be growing. And the truth is that's all of us. All of us are flawed and should be growing and getting better.

davidbix posted:Sort of playing devil's advocate, but: Does he know people online are calling him a nazi? A lot of celebs, especially those who aren't particularly active on social media, don't necessarily read their mentions or even vanity search. I think its tough for me to believe in general that a celebrity is unaware if there's a controversy happening about them within their bubble of fans. Yes, wrestling twitter is a niche but its a niche Undertaker should be aware of, if not personally through people in his life, professional and personally. In fairness, yeah, its possible he's just so detached and unconcerned that he isn't aware. But that feels unlikely to me in 2020. Like Ryan Reynolds probably doesn't know every thing being said about him on Twitter but he's got people who are paid to notice if something catches steam. But yeah, I guess it was unfair for me to say he absolutely does know. I should have said that he SHOULD know if he cared what people were saying about him. This stuff's been going on for awhile and as you said his wife has acknowledged some of it. Either way the first step to Taker being "forgiven" or "vindicated" is in his hands, whether he knows it or not.

davidbix posted:Wasn't it a big deal that the German runner immediately shook his hand in front of Hitler and became his lifelong BFF or something? Yeah, Luz Long befriended Owens at the Olympics, before he was killed in action during WWII. He wasn't the only notable German athlete who didn't buy into nazism. Max Schmeling, during Kristallnacht, hid the sons of a Jewish guy he knew in his apartment and got them out of the country.

Wait you mean there are motorcycle gangs that don’t regularly rampage around the Pacific Northwest, sometimes subjugating small towns for their perverted whims? loving Hollywood. Realktalk I know, my wife’s side of the family are involved in MC stuff and it’s pretty fun weekend warrior stuff. Very horny people too, cherished. Must be all the crotch vibrations.

Charlotte. But I mean, before this the division was dominated by Charlotte and Alexa Bliss for years with no one else getting over. So its all the same thing for WWE.
