Starr is a center-of-leftist and rabblerouser. The BLM he's backing isn't the "true" Ferguson movement. Its the stonewashed denim version and tends to be much more intersectional.

It's 100% cool to support any version of BLM, and do so publicly. Profiting off of it is pretty poo poo though. Even if he's not selling merch, taking it as part of his ring gear and part of his persona to build heat or whatever seems kind of gross. Ultimately, there's grosser things in wrestling on a daily basis, and calling anyone a f----- or r----- is pretty poo poo, so I'm not going to say Trey is right per se, but I see why he doesn't think BLM ring gear is cool on a white wrestler.

Also, the "all lives matter" thing. Usually anyone who says that is a piece of poo poo. Trey Miguel is biracial (black and caucasian) so I feel like he's coming at it from a different angle than your average boot licking, cop loving right wing dirtbag.

Starr donning BLM logos on his gear is like male feminism. Nice gesture but ultimately nonproductive. And in worse cases, its a cover for skeevy behavior.

The All Lives thing is even dumber because its like Straight Pride and other nonsense. It was started as a thing to detract from the actual problems that Black Lives Matter coalesced around, namely the police of St Louis MO were and still are actively murdering members of the Black Community including activists. That BLM has found resonance across the US and the world is a testament to how deeply ingrained the problem is in human societies.

Starr's goober(I like him but he's not on the level of woke he thinks he is) and Trey's an idiot. No one looks good.

male feminists only suck if they're doing it to show that they're "woke" but in general it's a good thing to show other men "hey, you too can be a person who believes that both genders are equal" because, when it comes down to it, people who bathe themselves in toxic masculinity aren't as likely to listen to women but ok.

i would say putting "feminist ally" on your wrestling gear is the same as putting blm on there but not that having writing on your underwear is the same as being a decent person, because it's useless or w/e you believe, yeah

intersectionality is a much more inclusive term and doesn't have the stigma of "took women's studies classes to get pussy" that male feminism has.

This is the problem with our desire to turn our language into monosyllabic concise terms. poo poo loses its meaning, even to the point of reversing its meaning. Newspeak doubleunplusgood.

I remeber Kevin Owens making a tweet about one of the owners or someone associated with them being annoying and trying to act like one of the boys, then someone dug up old tweets of the owner using slurs. I know reddit, but here's a link
