Ugh, why even give attention to a scripted fight between an old rapist and a garbage human influencer? I'm just avoiding all this stupid shit

All these pre match fights and arguments are just pro wrestling inspired, scripted drama.

This is what bugs me about Tyson the most.

He has almost a meme celebrity status, he is in the hangover,he appears in rap videos, he was on comedy central roasts... and he is a rapist.

Now if he wanted to stick to boxing and boxing related things, where he was an undisputed legend I'd be fine with it. Its not like he has marketable skills beyond that.

People get meme crazy and start to kind of confuse the person with the memes. I remember back when Biden was VP I found all the Nice uncle Joe memes to be weird. And I'd get downvoted for saying it. I never liked his record before becoming vp due to the drug war and police militarization he assisted. I wonder sometimes if that meme status helped him get elected despite that.

Probably because the watchers like man-on-man action.

Mike Tyson is a rapist? I'm not saying it would surprise me but I'm gonna need a source for that.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 15 hours ago

His own documentary...lol. What are you 16?

Am I taking crazy pills? He's a convicted rapist who spent time in prison for rape and assault. Why is everyone jumping through hoops to defend him? Literally just need to Google MIKE TYSON RAPE and it'll pop right up. It's common knowledge

Here I guess, though I know the Tyson boys will jump down my throat about it:

Is this why he went to jail and we had Mr. Dream replace him in Punch Out?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

That was going to happen anyway, the contract was up and Mr. Dream was the boss in the original punch-out

I think the guy who asked for a source was asking in earnest at least. Personally, I thought that was common knowledge....but then again, maybe it's only common knowledge if you're old enough to remember Tyson biting off Holyfield's ear.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 18 hours ago

I just assumed the Tyson rape thing was common knowledge.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not defending him I've just never heard this before.

As I said it wouldn't surprise me I've just never heard about it before.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

How dare you not hear of a thing before

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You really should fucking know everything I arbitrarily deem to be common knowledge. That thing you thought was common knowledge is niche AF btw.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

Thank you for controlling your E wrath

Would be great if such claims would generally come with some kind of source. Otherwise people might just not believe that ThatWeirdGuy1001 snorted some marijuanas back in college.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I snorted some marijuanas today! I'm chocked full of marijuanas! I've got more marijuanas in me than anyone!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

Goddammit, we've lost another one! Those darn Marijuanas, Lord help us!
