I'm glad Chuck Norris memes are dead.
Guy tried to use his Internet clout to spread homophobia and endorsed anti-LGBT extremists.
He should have just kept his mouth shut.
He's also responsible for white washing the image of the Texas Rangers who are actually atrocious and horribly corrupt, with a really dirty history
You and me both really. Also I never got the fascination in the first place. He was the most generic looking dude I could imagine. I always just kinda thought of him as cowboy Steven Seagal.
That kinda sums it up, but the dude could actually fight. He has black belts in judo, tang soo do, and Brazilian jiu jitsu, which are no joke. My connection sucks so I can't find solid info on tournament records, but he was VERY good.
Steven Seagull runs out of breath holding people's hands while they flip over.
It's a shame he ended up being a piece of shit because he seems pretty awesome otherwise, but that's religion for you.
Chuck Norris is just Gigachad from Wish.
Giga Chad as a concept promotes being at peace with yourself, bettering yourself and making yourself a better person in society.
Chuck Norris as a concept mostly promotes toxic masculinity and "being badass", a proclamation of toxic superiority that is unattainable.
Giga Chad as a concept is used by whoever wants to use it to justify anything they want by saying "'cause I'm a Chad". In the same way that Chuck Norris did. 90% of the memes for each can be replaced with the other and lose almost no relevance. Someone can use a giga Chad meme to say "women's rights are a joke" and the same for Chuck Norris. They can also say "defending the homies when they want to share their feelings to the bros". I'm not saying the Chuck Norris memes are guilty free or whatever, but the giga Chad memes are far being used only for "making yourself a better person"
Let me see. http://web.archive.org/web/20130116194305/http://www.ammoland.com/2012/06/is-obama-creating-a-pro-gay-boy-scouts-of-america/#axzz2IAZ8fgio
TBH it was a pretty ass move for Obama to accept an anti-gay organisations honorary membership. The corruption seeps through.
And that Turley guy casually sitting with Putin. Yikes.
It is a whataboutism article. Any actor who does that in whatever manner is disgusting to me in a way. It gives signs of having a viscious personality.
