Is that the only thing allowed to be accused of though? If they're arguing that he unfairly held down women or was otherwise sexist despite not sexually assaulting them, is that just dismissable as nothing?

And I was mainly talking about how you named two things as the only options and the conclusion of both of them were that the allegations didn't matter
My point is if he was doing that the talent HAD to have been aware already and didn't care or he just wasn't doing that.

If Mike was a shitty person doing shitty things it seeps into most interactions his talent already knew about.

So they quit over the media backlash and not Mike being a shitty person.

And yes, I don't think this hashtag should be for cancelling people and whole ass feds because he's a shitty person.

The whole wrestling is a house of cards and it's gonna fall don if that's how low the bar is now. Wrestlers are generally shitty people.

Vince McMahon is probably the shittiest person ever. You ready for that house to come down?

Does anyone on this site say or advocate believing all women? No, then stop bringing up dumb social media libz and just talk to us, you can tweet at them instead to call them dumb. It's hard to have a conversation with you when you instantly go to this as it implies this is the position I'm taking when I've never said anything of the sort.
You literally said this:

Oh, well case closed then. We don't have to listen to these women

And this means I think we should believe all women that make any accusation how?

Because you implied I somehow said we don't have to listen to women.

Which is generally only push back to questioning women.

I didn't imply it, you flat out stated it when you said in both scenarios that you thought could be true that the conclusion was the allegations didn't matter. So we don't have to listen to these women then right? I'm not sure what other conclusions can be drawn from "the allegations don't matter"

I answered that above.

If we're not talking about sexual allegations and talking about him being a shitty person they knew already or it's not true.

Either way I never said you don't need to listen to women. That's an absurd claim and the fact you don't see the irony in that when you accuse me of it is rich tbh. The point is why does it matter if he's a shitty person? Why does that mean CHIKARA has to shut down its doors?

Why were these people working there until it became associated with a hashtag?

Mike being a shitty person has been a thing since as long as I can remember.

No one remember this blowing up: http://wallsofjerichoholic.blogspot.com/2012/08/so-mike-quackenbush-might-not-be-nicest.html

For the record, outside this particular fight, this hashtag was born out of Twitter and most people who use the hashtag believe believe all women.

I am glad no one pushes that here, but you can't escape that line of thought on any of these Twitter thread. Any of them. ANY.

WWE has sourced a decent number of guys from Chikara, though not all of them were trained there. You've got Brodie Lee, Claudio Castagnoli, Chris Hero, El Generico, Scott Parker, Shane Matthews, Drew Gulak, Lince Dorado, Incognito, Akira Tozawa and some others who were Chikara regulars before getting more and more exposure. That's not counting at least 20 others who have made the occasional appearance who are now in WWE. If Chikara is closing its doors, this current roster is gonna have go somewhere. I'm sure a handful of them will at least end up signed to WWE. Probably not immediately but further down the line.
