Alot of people ignore the problems in the United States when they're given something like this in another country to worry about. You're being worked by the media to ignore what's really important.

WWE's incentive is money. You can spin it however you want. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Pro wrestling is homo erotic. You fucking knob.

Why are you taking me characterizing wrestling as homoerotic as an insult? It isn't an insult. It's the truth. I don't watch it because of that (OR DO I), but it's two oiled up men in their underpants, in a business largely based on aesthetics rolling around with one another. It's just like how women's beach volleyball is very sexual even though I'm sure volleyball purists watch it for the athletic display.
I just think wrestling fans get very butt hurt about these things. Why would you be offended about someone calling wrestling homoerotic? As I said, it isn't an insult. He didn't even say it as an insult. Your own preconceived notions and sensitivities left you feeling that way. Maybe you just need to get the pacifier out of your mouth and grow up. |
For the record, I wasn't offended by the joke.
I just thought we were past the stage of calling wrestling gay for a cheap laugh. Kinda like how we all used to call each other gay as a joke and I've been seeing it a lot on signs during my 2002 watching on the network. There's a lot of signs with someone's name on it and then "is gay" after it but you don't get that anymore. I haven't heard a "wrestling is gay" joke for ages now and I just thought that nobody made those jokes anymore. |
But yeah, wrestling can be kinda gay at times.

Also, I'm sure the Saudi's have paid Simple Fan.

FTR I know you weren't offended King. I was specifically directing my lambasting towards Dave.
But in regards to what you were saying... wrestling is actually gay. It's not the same as me saying "Hey Cool King, you're gay because your mom packs your lunch". That isn't gay, that's using 'gay' as a negative and implying being gay is somehow a bad thing. And wrestling's rampant homoeroticisim is easy to laugh at because it's so latent while trying to disguise itself behind a veil of machismo-infused hetero-sexuality. The joke itself wasn't even to highlight how gay wrestling is, it was to actually to highlight how deep in the Saudi's pockets they are. |
I wish, Im just don't think the show should be cancelled because of a dead journalist.
|
I don't think it's because he's dead.
I think it's all got to do with the way he died. If he died because of a heart attack or something, nobody would care. He died because the Saudi government actually went out of their way to have him killed. He was interrogated, tortured and then killed. His body was then cut up into pieces and removed from the Saudi consulate. Saudi Arabia are trying to portray themselves as this progressive nation but progressive nations don't hunt down and kill their own people when they don't like what those people say. That is why people want the event canceled, because the WWE are getting paid by the Saudi government to basically tell the world how great Saudi Arabia is even though it's quite clearly not because they're hunting their people down and killing them (and in this case, also breaking International Law to do so). If the WWE do go ahead with the event, some people may see it as the WWE advocating those previously mentioned actions. |

Moved the Saudi Arabia stuff to its own thread (from 101k replies) because there are a lot of posts and it is a "major topic"

Gotta agree with Dave here. Regardless of how anyone took it, he clearly MEANT it as an insult. That was the whole joke. It wasn't just a passing reference to wrestling's homo-eroticism. It was "LOL Wrestling's gay! Now let's all have a laugh about it, audience!"
Now... how offended you wanna be about it is up to you. But the context was clear. |
I mean it's a joke about its latent homoerotocism, but that doesn't mean it's an insult. And tbh it was a pretty funny joke particularly as an analogy.
|
Alright, now we’re definitely gonna disagree. He basically said “WWE likes Saudi Arabia as much it’s gay!” A 12 year old could have written that. Lol
Not gonna give him credit for saying it slightly more eloquently. |

Then on top of that, wrestling fans (not saying you) lose their shit when you call it gay. I don't see what's so hard to understand about that. I wonder if LPGA fans get annoyed when people discuss its association with lesbians. My point, is similar to literally everyone I played rugby with, we embrace the latent homoeroticism. It's one of the many things that make wrestling particularly quirky. Never mind the amount jobber squash fetish channels on Youtube. |
The John Cena “You can’t see me” joke after was pretty cringeworthy, too. I’m more offended by the bad comedy than anything.
Also I think you’re adding your own spin to make it funny. You know about Goldust and Darren Young and wrestling’s history of preying on gay stereotypes. I highly doubt he was going any deeper than “lol sweaty men grappling. GAYYYYY.” He was mad at WWE for being pro Saudi Arabia and needed to burn them and that was his way of doing it. By insulting it for being homoerotic. Lol Low-hanging fruit isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Just... put a new twist on it. |
And I’m sure there are plenty of LPGA fans and even more golfers who get upset when someone makes a joke about it being for lesbians.

TDO called Steve Buscemi 'fucking ugly' then tried to explain to him that it wasn't an insult because it's true.
|
:lol:

Me calling Big Vic a dumb mongoloid however is an insult, but is also the truth :cool:

Ok, beta-cuck. (Not an insult, just an observation)
