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.

I'm betting she had some sort of sponsorship deal that fell through when they were reminded
Wow the Reddit AMA actually got her to apologize.
https://old.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1ewyxxv/im_ronda_rousey_ama/
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.
Holy shit

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.
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.
It's not an apology if you make it about yourself.
She's such a tool.
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.
I hope you can reattach your tits
I got some velcro left it'll be fine.
That's hot.
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.
No I'm male, but as Rufus said in Dogma: Even the tubby coat wearing motherfucker's got tits.
A man of culture. Snooch to the nooch. π€
Taking us all to titty city!
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.
otherwise sheβs got a great PR team.
Well we know that isn't the case lol!
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)
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.
That was a really nice apology. Good for her, that takes a lot of guts.
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.
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.
