So

A lot of indie dudes getting outed for all kinds of sex-related crime (a lot from the UK)

WWE, as some are aware, has a long history of keeping abusers, pedophiles and sex creeps on payroll. I mean Lawler alone, but then you got Vince.

AEW suspends Sammy for his comments about Sasha Banks 4 years ago? Cool. But uh, they gave Havoc one of those "we wish him well in his fight against his mental health issues and substance abuse issues" tweets. Plus the creative team hung out with Marty Scrull all of time

Fucking Impact of all people boots Joey Ryan and suspends Elgin. But they still got Tessa and Moose on their payroll

New Japan still has Ospreay. Plus did nothing with Honma when he got outed for abusing his wife

AND when Elgin was still working there, he was getting booked for a (quick) title run when he's suing an accuser for "ruining his livelihood"

Am I missing anything else?

Oh wait, the one promotion close to unionizing, EVE, was complicit with siding with abusers.

I haven't watched wrestling myself in probably about a year, just kind of seeing twitter go off about things instead.

Do I want to anymore?

The amount of people kind of just sitting around being silent or paying lip service to the hashtag bothers me

Other communities and forms of media have this same problem obviously (like this week, there's more shit put out making sure I'll never play Cultist Simulator again) but

hm

Wrestling isn't directly tied to your identity for the most part so it's not like the furry community (sorry if I worded this poorly)

But it's not like with video games where there's solo stuff that you can find a little bit easier than say, an entire wrestling promotion

The "shut up and consume" choice isn't an option so

I don't know

(I was about to say watch DDT but fucking forgot mid-tweet that Joey Ryan was booked a lot there)

I dunno how to end this thread (and why the fuck did I write so many tweets, I'm not one of those big shot tweet accounts)

So here's some Nobu x X-Files shitposts @Swordwields made
