This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

Rules: (Click to expand)

1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

6. Banned Source(s).

Due not necessarily to the content of their reporting, but to their harassing and doxxing of users, the following news sources, journalists, and content creators are not permitted to be posted on SquaredCircle in any context - including direct links, articles, social media, and reports that cite only those sources:

  • WrestleVotes
  • RingSideNews
  • Brad Shepard
  • Billi Bhatti and "The Dirty Sheets"
  • Any post or article citing one of the above as a primary source.

hahah so the thousands of Sandy Hook comments on her reddit AMA got to her.

good on her for apologizing, buuuut we all know she would have never done this on her own, It's not like people haven't been commenting about this on her socials for years.

[–] tilefan@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'm betting she had some sort of sponsorship deal that fell through when they were reminded

She 100% expected everyone to get the fuck over it years ago and the responses in the AMA were probably the Holly Holm that put her down.

Well I missed this created a topic on it, and deleted it once I got to this one... So I'll post this here...

I wonder what caused this, I'll be an optimist and say I'm going to take her word for it, if only because I have to believe having a kid of her own really showed her how bad the original conspiracy bullshit was.

The cynic in me though is worried the Reddit AMA showed her the internet didn't forget and the target audience for her comic might need an apology before they buy it.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

She did just try to do an AMA on r/SquaredCircle, and like 99% of the "questions" were just ripping on her about Sandy Hook. That's probably what prompted this.

It seems sincere enough to me, so I will cautiously believe her until I see otherwise. I'll just rip on her for her transphobia going forward.

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not an apology if you make it about yourself.

She's such a tool.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yeah the 2nd page of the apology sounds fairly genuine. The first page makes me laugh my tits off. Still a far better apology that I'd have ever expected.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I hope you can reattach your tits

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I got some velcro left it'll be fine.

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's hot.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So wait......GeekFTW is female? Or is GeekFTW just a bird owner of a very specific bird type?

Yes, there are birds called "tits". There's also "boobies". And I'm not sure, but I think there's also "dickies".

My takeaway is that bird watchers are very horny.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

No I'm male, but as Rufus said in Dogma: Even the tubby coat wearing motherfucker's got tits.

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

A man of culture. Snooch to the nooch. 🀘

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Taking us all to titty city!

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It rings a bit self absorbed with trying to explain herself initially but overall she's at least made it very clear she's unreservedly apologising for the action and that she knows she fucked up and what exactly the fuckup was, which is the checklist of a good apology.

8/10 as apologies go, assuming it's genuine, otherwise she's got a great PR team.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

otherwise she’s got a great PR team.

Well we know that isn't the case lol!

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe it was a triple bluff: make a terrible AMA to market a mediocre comic, to make the sandy hook thing come up again so she can apologise publicly and get a bunch of brownie points and signal boost her comic's kickstarter.

(It wasn't, but I bet they wish it was)

[–] Brickardo@feddit.nl 10 points 2 weeks ago

It's a pity she had to see her income go down to muster an apology. Regardless, it seems genuine - the general disregard for paragraphs (as well as avoiding a line of separation when we venture with one) being the dead giveaway here.

[–] kamenoko@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

That was a really nice apology. Good for her, that takes a lot of guts.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I was about to ask how she was still relevant, but seeing as this is a Kickstarter I guess that answers that. She isn't.

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

After leaving wwe she had like, 1 date with RoH in her home town because she's friends with Shafir, that was it.

For her sake I hope she invested and spent her money wisely, I don't see a gravy train coming anytime soon.
