-- Hulk Hogan, who was taken out of the Wrestling Hall of Fame for three whole years after he was recorded saying that.
And then Peter Thiel, pissed that Gawker outed him, bankrolled Hogan's lawsuit which took them down. I remember lots of people on Reddit regarded it as a victory because Gawker sucked, which it did. They didn't care that a billionaire found a way to destroy a media outlet that told people something about him that he didn't want them to know.
Peter Thiel is, of course, also a big Republican supporter.
Hogan was already a piece of shit for being a racist. He didn't need to make me dislike him even more by getting into politics, even if his racism made clear which side he was on. Fuck him with a ten foot dick.
I've hated Hogan since the 90s, when I found out what a cancer he was backstage at WCW. Didn't help when I found out he's the reason wrestlers don't have a union.
For a lot of us fans, Hogan has been the devil way before we knew he was a racist POS.
Be nice to that dick. Nobody wants a 10ft dong around, so have some compassion. Let it get creative, at least. I mean, what else is it for, after all?
The Danes have already thought about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dillermand
What the hell is going on over there?
Kids that age think a very long, prehensile penis is funny.
He doesn't go around fucking things.
Bodily curiosity is good and penises are funny
I believe Hogan has been known to be a massive piece of shit among wrestling fans for decades now. Some of the stories I've read about the dude... Not great.
Ric Flair might be the only bigger shithead
Kind of a serious thing, for some people, to want quiet. What was the Gawker lawsuit over?
They released the secret recording of him saying the racist thing above without anyone's permission. Which is an absolutely shitty thing to do. But Thiel saw it as an in and paid for the best lawyers he could find and took them down.
Should they have been taken down for it anyway? Maybe. But not because of Peter Thiel.
I've never watched it, but I feel like outing a gay man and revenge porn fall into the "bad action" category, despite them being pieces of shit.
Maybe, but Thiel didn't sue them for outing him. He bankrolled someone else's suit because he knew it would be much more damaging. And that is not how the system should work.
I thought he bankrolled hogan to out them for exposing his dick, though. I may be wrong.
The lawsuit that killed gawker was the hulk sex tape that they refused to take down. They were 100% wrong on that one.
