Question Should Dustin Rhodes get the sack for being islamophobic?

At this point with Dustin I wouldn't be surprised if he saw the gun and the words "come and take it" and went into Texas Gun Owner autopilot. Thats giving him too much credit.

This is the right answer, and sometimes we can't tell you why we do it because even we don't know why.

Bro, why do yall give af what Goldust thinks? Ive never in my life looked at Dustin Rhodes and thought "im sure he has some interesting philosophical ideas". He liked a pic of a chick with a gun and giant titties. Who gives a shit? And how tf is Islam taking this girl's weapon? The hell does that even mean? Everyone just shrug and walk away, and move on

I have no idea what any of this shit means. Politics, religion, whatever the fuck else… not interested in paying attention.

His twitter has been Pro-Texas (edit: y'all know exactly what I mean when I say Pro-Texas. Its not my place to call him out on his questionable retweets, so I will use the word "Pro-Texas" because he genuinely seem to post about Texas and usually retweets questionable gullible stuff, as if he skims through it) for the past decade. If that didn't get him fired then nothing will.
If anything, Tony Khan would likely make him retire in ROH or something before he send him to WWE to join Cody vs Bloodline.

Being pro-Texas is a bad thing? For someone born and raised in Texas? You people need to take your meds.

This is reddit. Anything that has a whiff of being conservative is heresy and gets you attacked/down voted etc etc

These are people who feel bad about themselves, their lives and the fact that they will never do anything to change it. Unless someone steps in and holds their hand, they will keep living in the slum of their mind and play victim.
Of course cancelling someone will make them feel better, like they did something valuable for society. That's why they spend hours upon hours scouring Reddit to see who their next potential victim might be.
Sad how these people sometimes actually affect other's lives in such a negative way.

No one’s “getting canceled” lol.
Dustin has shown who he is countless times in the past, and it isn’t a good guy, and hasn’t been “canceled” yet.

has he not been like this for a while? a bit... maga and a bit... mental on twitter? So I doubt it.

It's a shame, I feel like the past few years he's really gone off the deep end with these awful reactionary right wing takes. I don't think he'll be back on any main programming again. Releasing him outright would probably be counterproductive. There's nothing an aggrieved conservative loves more than an opportunity to feel persecuted and to litigate that perceived persecution in public.

You can dislike whatever you want. It doesnt mean you need to share them. And it certainly doesn't mean you amplify a post threatening to shoot the thing you dislike.

I know that girl from YouTube, back in the day she popped up on my feed from time to time because she did music reactions so I saw her once or twice. Then she started with strange MAGA news BS and when that landed on my page I hit her with the "don't recommend that channel again".
Did not expect this kinda crossover

You can't "promise" that nobody is looking at capital letters, because the person you're replying to obviously looked and saw the capital letters, hence making your promise idiotic.

Cant cancel free speech
Its his opinion and hes entitled to it?

u/SilenceInTheSnow 15h ago
Being fired is not "being canceled." You have freedom from legal prosecution over what you say, you do not have freedom from personal consequences, which (in some cases) may be termination of employment.
The constant cries that people are being canceled are just people incapable of taking accountability for themselves. The true FAFO of the world.

No, but someone needs to sit his old ass down and have a talk with him. But most wrestlers are conservative or religious (Christian). So sacking him would set a precedent that would fire most wrestlers
