started to feel very defeated reading through this thread but these things were happening and are still happening. not knowing about it didn't change anything that isn't 100% selfish. all of these people being brave and in a safe enough place to be able to share their stories is very good and one of the very few things that can ever fight this sort of disgusting behavior. at least against some of it. predators and abusers should be afraid. i don't mean "because of this" or "now", but as an objective ideal in the future. they should be the ones shaking and hiding instead of the victims

anonymous one-liners very well could be people who are otherwise nowhere near being able to out their abuser; people who see what's going on right now and feel the closest they've ever been to being able to speak out. maybe they have a friend do it because they badly want to but aren't there yet. there are visible allies right now standing with these people, and the hatred being rained down on them by pieces of poo poo is spread thinner than it would be on just one person. like that thing with elp, it's easy to turn the tables and see an unwell person trying to jump on the bandwagon and ruin someone's life. but you can't totally dismiss every one-liner in good conscience either. dunno what to do w/ that.

i don't think you should have allowed that vince russo post to become more than an off the cuff joke meant to utilize jim cornette's biggest enemy that was not thought out, and said that's what it was. that is my advice as an attorney

i would like to send out a reminder to the people who have been looking into these personal stories, helping to signal boost them, or just generally involving your mind in it all as an empathetic person. please remember to take adequate care of yourself, as important as this is. if you're in a bad way, or completely drained, please take some time to focus on you and don't feel that it would be thoughtless or inappropriate to partake in whatever restorative methods you might normally use such as sleep, entertainment, and sustenance. thank you for posting

there is an image of a fake sms creator being used to show riddle's wife contacting his accuser "before being deleted, cropped, and reposted" but that in itself may be faked in order to discredit the accuser. I really don't know. definitely, anyone who is trying to hush this up as quickly as possible is in the wrong.

Cavauro

Thanks to DrVenkman and @CommieGarfield on twitter we can summarize that riddle's wife did text the victim asking for messages Matt had sent her. the woman tweeted this as a screenshot but forgot to block out the phone number, so deleted that and reuploaded it with the number partially obscured. the reason there is a weird 'remove ads' button in the original image is not because of a fake image creator but because of a third party app, textnow, that uses ads. There isn't anything proving fake messages or anything like that

i don't want to derail but i also don't want to post in another thread about this when it was brought up only here and is something weird to talk about on the subforum. I'm sorry for my part in making anyone uncomfortable to post here due to contributing to any sleaziness or anything else of that nature. i don't really feel like i have done much in that regard on the forum but one thing i remember clearly is posting that image of hikaru shida posing with the katana and it kind of became a thing for like 2 pages of a thread with people saying "a-oo-ga" type messages and whatnot. I think it was a GDT but I have below-average recall ability. i won't post that picture or things like it again. That is the end of the message so thanks for reading if you did

Summary?

Cavauro
Jan 9, 2008

the discussion thread is pretty much safe and i'm guessing the gdts will be now too after the concerted backlash (as opposed to 1 or 2 people complaining and being shut down.) probably don't ever go into the backlogs of GDTs you've missed though. if you are wild enough to do that in the first place

Cavauro
Jan 9, 2008

tried to make my post seem less 'against' the complaints because they are valid. as for the discussion thread not being safe, I didn't read the whole thing but i thought this week's thread was pretty healthy from what i did see. and i didn't mean it's always been good, but that the actual discussion thread right now was. and maybe it's not. my bad

nah i made myself look at it and see some weird things too now. Sorry for being wrong 24/7

I remembered i've posted pornography actor names into a gdt twice here and once in the football forum, with no context. I'll never do it again. it was part of trying to b "crazay", but it's not worth contributing to people abandoning the forum. it's not worth anything. i really like stone cold 64 and various others

I started typing a quantifier like "I don't think I've ever posted anything that gross" but it doesn't really matter if I thought something I posted was gross or not. Apologies for my bad posts and any bad feelings they caused anyone.

thanks for that introspective admission. it's an awkward and cool thing to do, even if it turns out you haven't said anything gross by anyone's standards.

in the link that was posted, i can't figure out why i used JOHN CENA's "problem" line back at them when i was defending that EMF was making a pretty good barb at the forum by comparing that gross tweet to the aew thread. it can't have been a coincidence instead and i am embarrassed

after reading that and reading his comment on it:

i am really mad and nauseated. imagine how long someone like that is going to be allowed to do it unimpeded in society. we can't even get it right with guys going around beating up or raping women and children so the type of abuse on display here will last without consequence throughout the entire existence of humanity. there's no question

There are trainees jabbing at Shazza for saying she worried about them, but didn't actually contact them. Feels sort of like they are trying to discredit her sincerity.

Cavauro
Jan 9, 2008

in any case, i wish there was some way to keep anyone from apologizing by first and foremost telling everyone to consider that they have had bad things happen to them too, and going into detail about them. If you take everything else away, that apology says "I was defending my friend without knowledge of the situation. I'm sorry." It's much more of a statement for saying "I am one of the good guys" during a very scary time to be a bad guy. not making a judgement/ruling about him in this post

you can tell pelle is really drat angry because he doesn't care about saying pretty bad poo poo himself like no one could stand her except him, etc. go off nonetheless i guess. good for everyone to see a lot of those extra details and dig a bad guy further into a hole

another... one of the other ways to tell he's angry, is where he said it.

i understand what you are saying. if you already have a personal lawyer, they would tell you not to address any specific accusations even if you are innocent. thankfully in this situation it's not very complicated and he has too many people stepping up and being brave against him to try and get out of it.

Cavauro

In case anyone else doesn't want to see it again either, the statement from Joey Ryan being mentioned in a tweet above is just the words from his tweet from before he deleted his account. Still alluding to at least some things being lies, saying he tries very hard to make wrestling a safe place, etc.

Did anyone post Jared Evans speaking out about MJF? I understand this thread is focused on sexual assault type of behavior but abuse is abuse. Continually telling someone to kill themselves and using "gay" as a slur. Jared also outs himself as saying bigoted and awful things about Jewish people.

It's a real lovely thing all around and you do wonder how much of it is excuses. I guess I can see why if this hasn't been posted before but it seems worth having eyes on it no matter where you land.

i sort of feel wrong to have posted that in here in hindsight. sounds like a real lovely situation between people who all acted like pieces of garbage and in those circumstances it makes sense to not just have one side of the story. the guy says they all insulted eachother a lot from the get. but it seems like mjf didn't ever let up even when asked to. i dunno. been making a lot of mistakes lately. not cut out for posting about things that matter.
