    I’d rather not speak Ill of the dead… So I’ll be quiet.

    I’ll do it.

    Hulk Hogan was a narcissistic, racist, hypocritical piece of shit.

    In the words of the immortal Sheiky Baby: FUCK THE HULK HOGAN, FUCKING BITCH!

    It’s so interesting seeing how different the reaction to him and Ozzy passing has been. I always loved Ozzy but seeing the outpouring of respect and love sent his way really touched my heart. Seeing hogan being a wet fart of a reaction has made me giggle and just shows how impactful Ozzy’s life was.

        Oh yeah he as a human, I meant the reaction of the community though lol.

        I just can’t imagine being so filled with hate to piss away such a massive legacy.

    It’s ok to speak ill of shitty people, even when they’re dead. They deserve no respect.

    Correction: Terry Bollea, who portrayed Hulk Hogan, has died. The Hulkster was way cooler than Terry. Terry said racist things, took Peter Thiel’s money to bankrupt Gawker, and was a MAGA.

        FUCK Gawker.

        Yes. But also, fuck billionaires throwing around money to destroy things that they don’t like (Thiel was pissed at Gawker for publicizing that he was gay, which, while kinda fucked up, also shouldn’t allow someone to destroy a media outlet with their money).

          They weren’t destroyed by the money. I’m sure the expensive lawyers helped, but Gawker’s actions killed Gawker. Literally all they had to do was pull down the sex tape. Instead they refused and wrote a fucking article about how they were refusing.

            Money was a big factor. The lawsuit would not have happened or had as much chance of success without being bankrolled by Thiel. Gawker’s actions were disgusting and likely criminal, but US courts overwhelmingly favor businesses over individuals, unless said individuals have deep pockets.

              This is a failure of the system, and I’m glad it was (momentarily) corrected, even if by someone as odious as Thiel. We can celebrate a good outcome regardless. Would that this shit wasn’t necessary, obviously, but I’ll take the wins where I can.

          Nah, publishing revenge porn of someone in direct defiance of court orders, multiple times, should be enough to get that done, it’s a shame that Thiel’s money was needed when it should have come free with the justice system.

          Thiel is a piece of shit and an actual lunatic super villain but he was in the right on that one.

            Honestly, I feel like this is one of the few places “both sides are bad” works. Gawker was a bunch of fucking creeps and also incredibly fucking stupid, but that doesn’t make Thiel or Hogan any less of fucking monsters.

            Agreed but with the caveat that Thiel’s money should not have been able to influence it one way or another. It should have been a criminal case resulting in end of business license.

              Yeah exactly, Thiel’s opinion and power should not have been factors but Gawker should not have existed by that point in the first place so karma and all that.

              2 abuses of power cancelled eachother out.

                thiel was the sole reason he even won the lawsuit, which means terry dint have much of a case agains thim in the first place.

                  Publishing pornography of someone without their consent is a crime.

                  The justice system sided with Hogan in the end and unless you’re alleging bribery that’s not a matter of who paid, but that the trial was brought to its conclusion instead of settling out of court because the multinational publishing corporation won the money fight, something enabled by Thiel’s money, but also something that shouldn’t have been necessary in the first place.

    I’m just happy that Jesse Ventura got to see Terry’s body float downriver.
