I thought you were talking about a different man doing a Trump gimmick in Mexico.

In fairness, Manson was pretty happy having a druggy hippie fuck-commune while occasionally doing minor break-ins and being a nuisance before Tex Watson joined them.
Today, during my weekly scheduled day off, when TWO people from my work separately contacted me to ask why I wasn’t traveling 30 minutes to come in to do minor bullshit busywork in the rain for $11 a fucking hour, all I could think about was “gosh, I wish I had LESS of a voice in this company”.
He argues that—even though he has worked in other anti-oppression studies—this study wasn’t done for academia or scholarly purposes. He reiterated that his study was reviewed by the New York Times,
Harvard scholars, scientists and others
The backstage goings on can be as fascinating as anything in front of the cameras. As for rolling your eyes at the on-camera stuff, that’s fair, but every promotion has its own style and focus. It doesn’t begin and end with the condescending style of the WWE, thankfully.
If you’re in the mood for more, check out Lucha Underground. It’s less camp and more grindhouse, but they’ve got some female performers who get to hang with the guys and be just as important to the show. Sexy Star’s story and journey throughout the seasons is particularly great, though it takes her a few outings…
It’s a great documentary! Very informative and well-made, and with lots of heart.
The wrestler, trainer and promoter Fabulous Moolah took over and Moolah, basically she would only book women that she trained and she would charge them a stipend and a booking fee for all of her matches and a lot of times she would have them move onto her compound in South Carolina and charge them rent. So these women…
Yes, absolutely. I don’t think you can talk about women’s wrestling being treated seriously without bringing up Japan, where women’s promotions have a long standing tradition and has been treated completely legitimately for several decades. The women’s scene in the 90's, whether in AJW or even FMW deserves…
I mean, I think 60-75% of ALL people are shitty, selfish and cowardly, but 60% of white people is a much, much larger number than 60% of black people, and those 60% certainly have more leeway in being openly shitty and cowardly.
Fair compromise between the ridiculous hyperbole that marks literally 100% of online communication and expressing frustration over a truly shitty act, but also not being a dick and dismissing the People Of No Color who care about this stuff, too.
It takes big, huge lady-balls to go out there and fight, and it comes with the risk of losing your faculties and bodily functions. I’m glad she has a sense of humor about it (I mean, she has no other option), but I’m not gonna mock her for going out there and putting it all on the line.
“White Pride is an ideological and political intervention in a world where the white race is systematically and intentionally targeted for demise. It is an affirmation of white people’s contributions to this society, our humanity, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression.”
Justifying “good” racial segregation makes me wonder about the traction of the shoes I’m wearing and the angle of the surface I’m standing on, so to speak. “Here’s the times when it’s okay to racially discriminate” seems like it has a lot of real questionable implications.
You know Frankenstein, created by James Whale? Sure, there was some old book too, but the story people know and the aesthetics associated with it are created by James Whale. He should rightly get credit for creating it, not Mary Shelby or whatever.
The spirit of the Grand Guignol lives on. I would love to see this.

I have no problem with celebrities doing good things, but I also feel as if many celebrities almost use charities and causes to almost apologize for and justify why it’s okay for them to live in a completely different social and socioeconomic world from the people who come see them. Like, “sure, I made $2,000,000 for…
Hot take, Gentileschi was better.
I think at one point [Kia Stevens] was told that she was too big to be a wrestler for some circuit she had tried out for and that really motivated her.
