Maze_ 10/24/19 12:40:59 PM #1:	https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/218-pro-wrestling-wwe/59965606 How the tables have turned now in the way fans reacted to Lars Sulivan apologizing for being a big homophobe in his teens (Cena did it as a 30+ year old adult which is way worse) Some gems: Discrimination WILL always exist, trying to stop it is pointless. Dragging discrimination down to the point where people smarten up and don't give a ** about it would be a more worthwhile cause. Ugh, Cena needs to stop being such a . What a **. I hate when people take back things they say. These GLADD people need to stop being the mind police and deal with the fact that ppeople are going to keep using those words whether they like it or not. I have NOTHING against gay people but I use the F word like 50 times a day If you ask me the whole thing is dumb anyway. These people need some tougher skin if they are still insulted by the use of their lifestyle choice in a derogatory manner. If Austin was runnin' around calling people hippies in a derogatory way you wouldn't hear a word about it. Just people going, "haha, he called that guy a hippie." You don't hear hippies gettin' all upset. Rock used to call people monkeys. No one ever came to the aid of monkeys. Doesn't GLAAD fight for accepting that people are different? That something that may offend you, like gay people, shouldn't be fought against just because YOU don't like it? If so, then they need to practice what they preach and accept that some people use anti gay jokes, etc. A bunch of hypocrites if you ask me. Man our country is becoming a p. And i used to like this place. ^ This one is literally something Lars said that people got mad about** I hate how this country is giving in to the demands of gays. It's not fair. Wonder how many of these users would face $100,000 fines and calls to be fired in their 30s if they got successful --- When the going gets tough, the tough go have a little cry in the corner.

People searched his web history and found that when he was a teen he said a lot of shit like the stuff in the OP on bodybuilding websites Homophobic, racist, talking down the mentally I'll etc Real troll stuff Due to the bad PR, WWE fined him $100,000 Lars then made the mistake of instead of ignoring it, he embraced it and apologized for it.

Wetterdew 10/24/19 5:02:55 PM #16:	I still see that level of homophobia on a lot of places. Straight people have no idea how frustrating it is to be surrounded by ignorant people disparaging people with your sexuality. and talking about people like you as if your existence is an intrusion on their state of wellness. I hate when you want to be a member of an online community but you find out everybody else there resents gay people On topic. I don't know John Cena too well but I don't get the impression that he's homophobic...today anyway. He has worked on movies with gay themes and gay actors and he comes across as an ally to me. Unlike Kevin Hart who still hates gay people despite his fake PR apology --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. <cite>Wetterdew posted [p:929192380] in Pro-wrestl...
