I think the "Jimmy" here is James Davis, not Havoc, going by her other tweets on the subject.

Havoc is a dickhead but he hasn't been outed as an abuser (yet?).

Apparently Riddle's accuser just got busted posting faked messages from his wife? Left the watermark from a free app for making fake conversations in a screenshot she posted before quickly deleting and replacing it with a cropped version.

Yeah just to clarify this a bit...

The claim being made here is that this screenshot:
https://twitter.com/EliteArtistGFX1/status/1274015554437816328

...was in Candy's tweet originally, which she then deleted and posted this instead:
https://twitter.com/CandyCartwright/status/1274012311859183616

...cropping out both the number, and the Remove Ads button. This appears to be true, but the app she's using is just a free messaging app like WhatsApp or countless others. It's not a fake SMS creator. She cropped it to remove the phone number, not hide some evidence of faking she accidentally revealed.

Thanks for clearing that up! What the gently caress is wrong with people?

Horny posting is very gross but it feels like speaking up against it just gets you told to stop being a buzzkill or whatever.

Like I get we live in sex positive times and that's super cool but there's still a time and a place for discussions of all the different things that encompass it. Other people not wanting to hear about how much you love a particular wrestler's body parts doesn't make them the ones in the wrong, that's on you.

because jr is an ugly old man and people are predisposed to their prejudices with regards to certain types of uncouth behavior. see:
there is an idea that most people have, mostly subconscious, that "creepy guy" is a certain type of person and if you're not that type of person, it's all in good fun. it's probably similar how a ton of wrestlers justified it, in that they are considered "hot dudes" (or ladies) therefore they aren't the gross creeps out there making women uncomfortable, they're the ones women want to hit on them.

i'm guilty of this as i said before, in that i am good boy who is extremely pretty with good hair, so i thought it was okay for me to hornypost my real hornyfeelings because i am not what people would think of as a "creepy guy" if they knew me. but on the internet, i am just a 4 letter name with a roman reigns avatar that someone bought me years ago, posting about horniness or jerking off because i did standup for a brief period years ago and people laughed at it when i did it then.

No dude. It's creepy regardless of what you look like.

i was not trying to be funny, that was a completely sincere post about how people tend to define "creepiness" in a certain way and illustrate how i myself was guilty of it. i was okay being creepy on the internet cause i know i am not a creepy guy, and i didn't really think it was making people actively uncomfortable. but, given the current sentiment, i am admitting i was wrong in how i acted.

No, dude. Making horny posts is a creepy thing to do. Doing creepy poo poo makes you a creep, regardless of whether you think you are or aren't one.

You literally just wrote "I was ok being creepy on the internet". You knew you were being creepy.

You keep saying "I know I'm not a creepy guy" except you clearly are by virtue of the fact you post creepy poo poo.

This is literally the kind of poo poo people say to justify the awful things they've been outed for ITT.

Edit:

I'm not gonna engage any further. Horny posting has bothered me for a while and it's put me off participating in threads more often than not. It's not fair of me to unload that irritation onto one particular poster I disagree with.

This almost feels like a separate topic, wrestling is an aesthetic business and something like assessing someone's haircut or ring gear or just general "X wrestler looks so much cuter now that they're clean shaven" doesn't feel out of bounds for discussion.

There's a huge gulf between "holy poo poo John Morrison is shredded, he has gotten in great shape" and "look at those cum gutters 😍😍😍😍"

One of these is fine and the other has absolutely no place being posted anywhere outside of some creepy fan twitter far far away where nobody ever has to read it.

He retweeted someone saying something along the lines of "clearly he's (Human Tornado) just loving around why doesn't anyone else get it lol" too so who the gently caress knows what's going on.

I seriously love my local indie (Journey Pro). They always book a wide range of wrestlers, feature progressive talent like the Gym Nasty Boys and Sarah Shockey. I asked them yesterday if they are going to continue to book Curt Stallion (who is a regular) going forward in light of the allegations and they said that they don't plan on booking anyone named in the allegations. I'm so happy to hear that.

Didn't Sarah Shockey get outed for something, or am I thinking of another famously-progressive-but-then-revealed-to-be-an-rear end in a top hat lady wrestling personality?

Edit: I was thinking of Stepstool Sarah

I've been to indy show where the dressing room is just a curtained off corner of whatever hall they were renting. it's not great but that's how it is. it's going to take a lot for change to trickle down to these smaller shows.

A lot of the time it's this, tiny rear end venues with little to no space so they make do with what they have and unfortunately it's making abusers' lives easier.

I think you’re thinking of the ring announcer who tweeted slurs back in the day but does the inclusivity disclaimer now.

Sammy made a "Sasha looks like a man" joke the other day so I'm not surprised.

In context it was actually a "Ricochet looks like a girl" joke but that's obviously not any better.

(Ricochet previously said something about how he looked like Sasha when he was younger so Sammy was riffing on that)

I think the right thing was done by all parties involved, with the caveat that Sasha would also have been absolutely 100% in the right if she'd told him to go gently caress himself and shove his apology up his rear end.

Now let's see them address Justin Roberts correctly (which is to fire him imho).

Hager will skate because he wasn't named, unfortunately.

The Colt thing doesn't feel like there's enough information to decide if that was Colt being lovely or if it was a promoter having ideas of their own after he mentioned liking the look of a girl.

Although if I remember correctly the post went on to say later on that the same promoter told her she looked really young for her age so if that's the look he's into then yikes maybe.

Yeah, why is AEW dragging their feet about Justin Roberts, of all people? He's a ring announcer and they have another one who's better at it. Cut his rear end loose, coward biceps Tony.

Not that it remotely justifies keeping him if he’s a piece of poo poo, but who is the one that is better?

When Dasha does it she sounds like a late 90s text to speech app just mashing together phonemes and I find her announcing really jarring to listen to.

I like Dasha's ring announcing, so I meant her. Brandi's not bad either but she clearly hates it and doesn't want to do it.

Each to their own I guess. To me the best way to describe it is she sounds the way I’d imagine someone who doesn’t speak English and has just been coached through approximating the words might sound. She hits every syllable super hard and super over-enunciated, almost like she’s trying too hard to talk.

It kind of reminds me of the announcer GCW use on their Japan shows except with the benefit of an actual PA instead of whatever they’ve slapped together in that tiny little hall they use.

This is not the ring announcer complaints thread though so it is what it is. They should address the Justin Roberts elephant in the room, potentially lovely backup announcers or not.

Probably the exposure of the named people with the aim of having them ostracised from the scene, to be honest.

Those aims can be achieved without having to harass people to death, as much as anyone may think they deserve it.

There is a big difference between saying "Hey! Person X did a bad bad thing! Stop rewarding them for it!" or "Hey Person X, you did a bad bad thing! You should apologize for it, and feel bad!"
and
harrassing someone to death.

Yes I know that the lines can get blurred between the two at the edges, and that weaponized internet harrassment is a thing. But telling a rapist that they are a bad person, and shining light on their rapes is not that.

Absolutely there is, but the issue people are having is where do you draw the line between “You are tweeting at Person X calling them a piece of poo poo an appropriate amount” and “You have tweeted far too much at Person X calling them a piece of poo poo”

Is how close you’re allowed to push someone to suicidal ideation determined by how much of a piece of poo poo they are?

I’m not looking to defend anyone for any of the awful poo poo they’ve done because they absolutely don’t deserve to be defended, but on the other hand people feeling like their only way out is to harm themselves is also not acceptable.
