I understand that he's tired of being blamed and accused of stuff. We will have to wait and see if he goes ahead with any legal pursuit of his accusers, especially the websites he named, and what the results of that are.
I'm not a fan, nor do I hate the guy.
I think he needs to step away from wrestling for a while, and take care of himself, for his own mental wellbeing.

"Aren't you that world famous wrestler?" I mean, can't be that famous if you don't know his name. “Aren’t you that world famous sex pest?” It's scientifically proven and distilled into a Venn diagram:

The man won’t get help until people literally stop paying attention to him.
That’s his currency. Take that away and let him come to the end of himself and make the decision to get help or continue sinking into oblivion. His choice.
Sorry but, I just don’t have it in me to feel anything for someone who willingly destroys themselves. There are plenty of ways out for someone like Michael Elgin.

I couldn't agree more!

If he can find a job where people won't immediately call his boss and demand his firing (but also pays enough to keep up with rent), then yes.

That's sadly (depending on your PoV) what happens to anyone with a decent amount of fame who gets accused of that kind of s***. It isn't enough for them to not be famous anymore. People will do anything possible to utterly ruin their lives, and have them living on the streets. I'm not saying it's undeserved in some cases, but still...

Most famous people did well enough for themselves that it's impossible to do that to them, no matter what heinous act they pulled or offensive thing they said. A middling wrestler who never had an extended run in the big time, however, well, that's questionable.

Because like, I feel like its really obvious that someone like Ryan shouldn't be working at a theme park with kids. I don't want the guy to be literally unable to find work. But there are certain jobs that I just don't really feel safe about him doing. As far as I know there have been no other instances of people making calls to get a #SpeakingOut target fired. So I think you're overreacting (as I've noticed you tend to do on ~cancel culture~ related topics).

Trying to make people think I'm defending Joey Ryan, of all people? WTF? 2. Specifically invoking the idea that I'm the kind of person who endorses "certain" behaviors. I would ask for you to revoke these implications.

*shrug* Just an observation. BS. Just saw your edit. I was not implying that you were defending Joey Ryan. I was just bring up that instance because it was the only instance I could think of where a Speaking Out target got fired from their job. And I wasn't implying that you endorse certain behaviors either. None of that was implied by my post.

To give another example, I saw plenty of dragging when Variety wrote an article about Armie Hammer is selling timeshares in the Cayman Islands now. Not saying that he didn't say/do shitty things, but he's out of the spotlight and trying to live, let him live his dang life if he isn't harming anyone else.
