    This is what bugs me about Tyson the most.

    He has almost a meme celebrity status, he is in the hangover,he appears in rap videos, he was on comedy central roasts… and he is a rapist.

    Now if he wanted to stick to boxing and boxing related things, where he was an undisputed legend I’d be fine with it. Its not like he has marketable skills beyond that.

      People get meme crazy and start to kind of confuse the person with the memes. I remember back when Biden was VP I found all the Nice uncle Joe memes to be weird. And I’d get downvoted for saying it. I never liked his record before becoming vp due to the drug war and police militarization he assisted. I wonder sometimes if that meme status helped him get elected despite that.
