This is your reminder that Chuck Norris was a hateful, racist ghoul.

@alda I lived in Utah during the Prop 8 thing. And he was in Utah alot fundraising for the Mormon church for the fight in California. I'm gay, and Salt Lake City is actually a very gay friendly city believe it or not. It's a fun place. But the vitriol he would say about SLC, the mayor, and the gays in SLC, because every last queer in the valley was protesting, were just outrageous. Good riddance. I'm sure there is a party at The Trapp tonight. He is NOT liked in SLC at all.

@alda @populistensohn You ever wonder why there are soooo many Chuck Norris jokes and absolutely no Bruce Lee jokes?

It’s because Bruce Lee was no joke.

I'm in the age group where some of the kids I grew up with were into him. Grade school age boys are going to be into martial arts, that's just a thing, but Chuck Norris was a specific vibe. I can't prove it, but I would bet anything that a notably high percentage of these guys grew up to be Trump voters, just saying.
Show threadobscurestarMar 20
@TheGreatLlama @alda Let's call it the 'insecure in their masculinity' vibe. That's what all those fans seemed like to me. Desperately afraid someone was going to find out they like petting puppies or something and somehow that would make their penis fall off. A more generalized term might be 'sadsacks'

@obscurestar @alda
I hesitate to hang "sad sack" on third graders, but yeah, that's the ballpark.

Chuck seemed to be specifically the "karate guy" (terminology we used 😆) for the super Christian kids though. Also gingers, but I suppose that's understandable.

Show threadobscurestarMar 21

@TheGreatLlama @alda I am sad that I did not get into martial arts until much later in life because Norris, Van Dam, and that lot had made it seem so toxic and empty. I think I could have benefited from the meditative and body awareness aspects of it.

I guess I should have realized they treated the ideology of their teachers much like the same self-professed christians treated the word of Jesus.

here's another thing I love about #fedi:

sure, there were a few tender chuck norris jokes and mild eulogies making the rounds upon news of his demise. but, once the uniformed were gently enlightened, all that shit dried up seemingly overnight. I didn't have to filter a thing.

you're good people.

that, or you all have the attention span of a hamster. either way, thanks for being you.
