Are you threatening me because I won't pull out a pitchfork and join the hate mob in the court of public opinion to crucify someone over saying a word? I'm assuming you must have never said a single word in your life that could be considered offensive to anyone, otherwise you are coming off as a huge hypocrite here.
There are also examples of wrestlers in this thread (Bret Hart and CM Punk) who have flat out called people homos. Are they homophobic people to you? Should any discussion of them be banned from the site? Does it make someone who likes or defends them a homophobe? Or are you just here to cherry pick when it suits you most?
This is pro wrestling. A soap opera where men and women talk trash to each other and then settle it with a play fight. The goal of a heel is to piss off the fans. You shouldn't put yourself in the face of the public if you can't handle reactions of all kinds. The fans are (or at least 'were' when they actually cared about the product they were watching) just as much a part of the show as the wrestlers. When a heel does their job fans say things back that they think will piss them off. That's what it came across as to me watching the video. So if my "hill to die on" is not wanting to label someone I don't know a homophobe just for calling a wrestler a word then so be it.
Society isn't what it was in the 1990's or even 10 years ago. There's a difference between saying it then when it was more accepted as an insult, than now. Not sure how you're missing that point.
