strobogo Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Going into the crowd seems like it would never be worth the risk in liabilities alone, not even to get into not being able to control the environment and the myriad of issues that can stem from that.

Saying the guy needs to grow the fuck up doesn't equate to calling for his scalp. I never once said that he should be suspended, get the title stripped from him or fired. That said: This, too. “Fedora” reference in 2023, and to *that* post, just unbelievable. To use a more contemporary way-too-online reference, touch some grass, dude.

If you willingly initiate interaction with him at a wrestling-related event, there's clearly a degree of implied consent. It's like buying front row tickets to see Gallagher and getting upset if chunks of watermelon land on you. In both cases, I think the act is dumb, but you knew (or should have known) what you were getting into. Yeah the drink thing, okay, I get why it upset people, but literally everything else in that post is just MJF being his edgelord, always-working self and pretty much exactly what most people *want* from an interaction with him. That post reminds me of the recent FD Signifier video about Breadtube drama, where he points out that any sufficiently popular online person has a litany of haters just waiting to use some kind of controversy as an opportunity to post long lists of every “problematic” thing they ever did to prove they were a shitty person all along. AEW has been prominently featuring MJF for four years; going to any event they host, and definitely going to any event *featuring* him, absolutely implies a Gallagher-type implied consent that he might fuck with you in a mildly offensive way. Whether that stuff is at all a *good* way to get heat is a separate question from the fraught, ever-metastasizing debate about consent.

He’s a gentlemen trying to bring black issues and perspectives to the very white world of Left-ish YouTube commentary, and he did a video about how many “cancellations” (sorry, lack of a better term) in that space are less about objective harm and creating accountability than about parasocial grudges and drama for drama’s sake.

rovert Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Pretty much everything MJF does publicly is a work. When is Tequila a clear liquid and sold in large cups from parent occupying a child? A child wearing a hoodie while hooded. The source of the Tequila thing is Alvarez and Meltzer not exactly drinkers either. Meltzer initially said it was Vodka. I guess you think the plane ticket was real too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 If it's a work, Scorpio Sky is an odd choice to get involved. I can't see him starting a program with MJF. Either way, he's right about the fans and media - 100 fucking percent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
