It's not. Shame that's not the point of view that was put out there. Also why do people have an issue with the coke joke but not him wanking dogs?

I didn't really want to weigh in on this too much as I'm always wary about putting personal information on here. But here goes. I'm a recovering cokehead so anything that makes light of drug addiction is problematic to me. I've never wanked off a dog though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be something as simple as being better at masking. It's a spectrum, and people's places on that spectrum can fluctuate so much. I have days where I almost feel like a functional member of society, but when I'm burnt out I can't even speak and just want to hide away until everything is better again. There's a lot of educating people need, but this thread isn't the place for it. Back to Tony being a twat? Edited July 4, 2022 by jazzygeofferz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but this just reminds me of Cricket in It's Always Sunny (apologies if that makes no sense) I too find it a bit rum to make light of drug use/possible addiction, but each to their own. All adults here aren't we? Who am I to judge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Duke Posted July 4, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 4, 2022 So, basically, Tony Khan is a complex human being who, like everyone else on the planet, has positive and negative characteristics. Because he's a billionaire with a pretty big platform, those characteristics get emphasised, and with the right cocktail of personality, the spotlight can exacerbate flaws and failures. This is actually pretty normal. Also, no one is particularly happy that he seems to have no issue hiring people who have multiple accusations of sexual harassment and assault, but it doesn't seem like many people are going to boycott the TV over it. Also, Tony Khan has more good faith than noted accomplice to murder and incest perv Vince Mcmahon. Also, people are tribalistic. This includes people who fundamentally believe all billionaires are twats by virtue of them being billionaires. It also includes billionaires themselves. It definitely includes wrestling fans. Also, we have an ignore feature Finally, if you're fundamentally opposed to this topic, my recommendation is to stop posting in it or looking at it. It'll die if most people don't interact with it.

I can understand why someone with autistic children would find discussion about it in a throwaway, almost crass fashion upsetting. I’m just glad that Hannibal wasn’t posting on here when someone used their child’s autism as an excuse for the poster acting like a right fucking arsehole and then flouncing off. That would’ve probably really upset him and rightly so.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members garynysmon Posted July 4, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 4, 2022 Does every Tony Khan defence have to be "but he's not as bad as Vince"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I’d be more worried if Tony wasn’t on coke considering his love of wrestling nostalgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
