Not sad about a dead Nazi
What, I was playing Where Winds Meet just a few hours ago and someone wrote this in the chat. I guess we’re having a Chuck Norris meme revival in a new format.
So this is how I find out he’s dead
Same.
Thanks Lemmy for being my #1 source for news via memes!
Lemmy is not a good source of information. But it is a decent place to talk about stuff and laugh it off with memes.
I hate how he became a meme for badassery.
He was a bible thumping bigoted racist piece of shit. Good riddance.
They were jokes. Always just jokes.
Even 20 years ago I understood it was always at his expense. He’s such a self-aggrandizing, self-proclaimed “badass” and the jokes were always riffing off of that. It’s like the same way you’d make fun of Steven Seagal.
I mean, Walker, Texas Ranger was a show made by Chuck, about Chuck, where the day gets saved every time because the bad guys are no match for Chuck. The whole point of the jokes is that nobody was taking this guy seriously but him.
We were young and ignorant back then.
Can we go back to Vin Diesel?
Yeah, about that…
At this point I just assume you only get famous by being a piece of shit
In this case, it’s a shame it didn’t go to court. I don’t want to defend an actual predator, but generally there are lots of accusations, not one person.
That’s not to say that it didn’t happen. It absolutely could have and we should give any victim the benefit of the doubt. The court case not proceeding due to a technicality doesn’t seem like justice served for anyone nor for society.
It says something, or at least suggests something, that the charges were dropped because she didn’t continue to file the proper forms on time. And then not only the sexual assault accusations, but the accusations that his sister helped in creating a “hostile work environment”? Stinks to high heaven of revenge accusations.
Any competent attorney would have made sure that that paperwork was filed on time, and she should have no problem getting a competent attorney with such a financially lucrative target.
And then of course there are the long running rumors that Diesel is gay, and just hasn’t come out because that doesn’t play well for an action star…
I’d never thought about the attorney working for free on the basis of the win. However, if she was a victim of a sexual assault, it could also be self sabotage as she psychologically is finding it hard to deal with or wants to avoid reliving it.
So, I’d still tend to believe her unless we have evidence otherwise or a jury of her peers says otherwise.
Does Diesel have any track record of these kinds of accusations?
Yeah, he couldn’t hold a candle to Bruce Lee.
I think that’s exactly why he got popular…
being badass shouldnt be a compliment anyways
Rest in piss Chuck get fucked.
Republican scum
“He wrote conservative columns, opposed gun control, abortion, and evolution in some contexts, and made strong statements like a 2012 video with his wife Gena warning that Barack Obama’s re-election could lead to “1,000 years of darkness” for the country.”
Lol
Barack Obama’s re-election could lead to “1,000 years of darkness” for the country."
He was kinda right on that one. Not that Obama ruined the country, but all the racist assholes who lost their minds when it happened.
“Opposed gun control in some context”
Is it when non white people have guns?
I assume its the same with abortion.
He opposed controlling one’s aim. Just spray randomly in front of you and you can take down an entire army without getting hit. Dirt bikes with rocket launchers also help.
That may be true due to the backlash from people on his political spectrum.
oh. i had no idea he
iswas this kind of human shit. shame.This is how I find out that Chuck Norris has roundhouse kicked the bucket?
Norris was known for his spinning back kick, Superfoot Wallace was more known for the roundhouse
Yeah. He accidentally strangled himself with a power cord while masturbating in the closet.
🤧
It was pretty quick. After I heard he passed, I noticed an hour-old notification on my phone from a paper saying he had been taken to hospital an was in “good spirits”. So whatever it was was quick.
Im happy he didnt suffer and had a good death. Probably very unexpected though.
I only agree because I tend to want that for all humans, even ones that do evil things. heh.
What a way to find out the news…
Barrens chat is going to be in a month-long state of mourning over this.
Oh no, they’ll be too distracted to tell me where Mankrik’s wife is. I’m never going to find her at this rate.
damn. didn’t know he was conservative. or dead.
Most +80 year olds are
Technically true. Most +80 year olds are dead
Even the super gay ones, its odd but just they way some are. Not all the conservative shit is bad however, the stay the fuck out of the bedroom and mind your fucking own business crowd is not all bad for example. The book burning, lets reserve the cuck chair types though…
Eh to be fair a lot of these older action stars are conservative but maybe not like the conservatives of today. We will never know how much of a bigot they actually where, and that might be a great boon.
He wrote columns praising Trump during the 2024 election campaign. He made videos warning Obama would doom the planet for a thousand years and Trump was our only savior in 2016.
He absolutely was like the conservatives of today and I personally know people who got on the Maga train in large part because of him. We know exactly how much of a bigot Norris was. Good riddance
Ah, the boon has went bust then.
He was a good guy. But yes, not liked by the Lemmy crowd, sure.
He was an absolute steaming pile of rotting dog shit.
The world is just a little bit brighter without him in it.
He was a racist asshole conservative-fuck.
Sure.
What sure? As in actual agreement? Because he was a piece of shit for real.
May he rest in piss
Is his gun ejecting an unspent round?
