Hardcore wwe fans are like battered wives who always tell themselves that they will get better and deep down love them.

Exactly my thoughts right here. I hope heads roll for this.
OP
OP
Unfortunately, though there should be, I don't know that there would be any charges for asking someone to not go to the authorities and them not doing so. I don't even know who would press charges now that she's no longer alive.
Oh absolutely, no question about that.
I may have misinterpreted the post, I read it as though it implied she was still there at the time.

Considering the strong stance this forum has against racism, misogyny, homophobia, and support of metoo, I wonder if this would be possible? I mean, those threads help direct attention to wwe. Why keep helping them with that?
Agreed. It is however reminiscent of
There you go. Dark but good way to put it.
A 30 something woman with no stable income, suffering from depression, didn't put up a fight with the US military and a billionaire, in a case where she had no proof of what happened.
My view is not unlike that of the police. Good policemen and soldiers are fine by me, but they ain't gods among men, and aren't deserving of blind worship. Ever hear of the Zoot Suit Riots? The so-called "Greatest Generation" was responsible for that. Fuck 'em!! I'm only glad that those racist fucks are most likely gone, and I hope their last minutes were drenched in agonizing fear and pain, racist fuckers!
This, sadly, is just another one on the pile of bullshit the government lets the military get away with. Fuck this shit, fuck those responsible for the rape and those covering it up! Fuck 'em to HELL!
Tag a few, friend. Hopefully they'll respond. Admins are always busy so PMs get ignored at times.
Anecdotally I've been seeing a huge influx of people saying that they've cancelled their WWE Network subscriptions. I hope WWE ends up taking a noticeable hit and their ridiculously over-inflated stock price goes down.
I want Fox to regret ever making a deal with WWE for Smackdown.

If I remember the recent report right, Network subscribers were down in wrestlemania season for the first time ever and they've been suspiciously quiet about reporting exact subscriber numbers too, so it seems like they are feeling a dent with the network at least.
This will just add to it.
Ratings have slid considerably this year as well and show no signs of recovering.
If the board that won't ban discussion on THQ Nordic surely won't ban discussion on WWE.
There is and has been a systematic problem with rape in the armed forces for awhile now. They too need to be held accountable.
What THQ Nordic did was really shitty, but it's not in the same league as the heinous stuff WWE has done time and time again for decades.
I think the banning of WWE OTs is definitely not an unreasonable ask.
This is true. Like i love wrestling but WWE has done so much heinous shit over the years even worse than what's in the OP.
For example covering up a murder in Jimmy Snuka's case.
ERA won't ban Atlus/CDPR threads after the continued and unapologetic homophobia/transphobia, nor PewDiePie threads after people literally died, nor THQN threads after... what they did.
There won't be a ban on anything WWE related.
Please, prove me wrong.
Please.
The last time I brought up how disgusting I find it that Giantbomb still continually bring up and talk about WWE in their media I was derided and crapped on in this forum.
And I still find it disgusting.
And I still find it disgusting.
if it was in the GB Community Thread, I would expect that. hostile and insular at times.
Like a lot of things WWE is more than the sum of Vince's shit. It's not like everyone that's on their payroll is bad people. Both Roman Reigns and John Cena for example are their top guys and they're huge lefties. So it's not like the entire company is toxic, however I do agree it's hard to defend them over the years.
What topics are actually banned from ERA? (aside of just websites)
I hang out with the GB mods when I go to Pax East and I still stay the hell away from GB threads.
But when you support WWE you support Vince McMahon and his company. There is no way round this.
He and his ilk are just too vile.
Not just that but also no one can criticize the men/women in uniform. Its like blasphemy in US. Can't criticize them for their inhuman actions in the wars etc instead you are dragged to the bottom in the media as unpatriotic and an a-hole. No one should be above the law. There a douchebags in every organization and military has its own.
This is the same guy that covered up for a murder so that a popular wrestler could keep making money for him.
Sad thing is, is that this whole military praise isn't even ABOUT the soldiers.
It's so people won't complain when the government raises the military budget again to even more obscene levels. The budget gets increase so that more money can be funneled into the hands of private contractors and weapons dealers
The fuck is wrong with men. Sex should be an enjoyable experience for both parties that is consensual. 🤬
This is completely unsurprising in the worst possible way. A woman being told to not report her rape to help the company bottom line is 100% in keeping with what the WWE has been doing for decades and rape is just so, so rampant in the US military. Even if a proper investigation is conducted on allegations the ranks close so fast, and pressure is put on the accuser.
It's a discussion board, I don't know what good banning WWE topics accomplishes. It never crossed my mind to ban NFL topics, the league has been openly racist with the Kaep shit and has protected rapists and women abusers for decades. We still have NFL topics.
