Mike Tyson is a rapist? I'm not saying it would surprise me but I'm gonna need a source for that.

Am I taking crazy pills? He's a convicted rapist who spent time in prison for rape and assault. Why is everyone jumping through hoops to defend him? Literally just need to Google MIKE TYSON RAPE and it'll pop right up. It's common knowledge

Here I guess, though I know the Tyson boys will jump down my throat about it:

I think the guy who asked for a source was asking in earnest at least. Personally, I thought that was common knowledge....but then again, maybe it's only common knowledge if you're old enough to remember Tyson biting off Holyfield's ear.

I just assumed the Tyson rape thing was common knowledge.

I'm not defending him I've just never heard this before.

As I said it wouldn't surprise me I've just never heard about it before.

Is this why he went to jail and we had Mr. Dream replace him in Punch Out?

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

That was going to happen anyway, the contract was up and Mr. Dream was the boss in the original punch-out

Would be great if such claims would generally come with some kind of source. Otherwise people might just not believe that ThatWeirdGuy1001 snorted some marijuanas back in college.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I snorted some marijuanas today! I'm chocked full of marijuanas! I've got more marijuanas in me than anyone!!

Goddammit, we've lost another one! Those darn Marijuanas, Lord help us!
