Am I taking crazy pills? He's a convicted rapist who spent time in prison for rape and assault. Why is everyone jumping through hoops to defend him? Literally just need to Google MIKE TYSON RAPE and it'll pop right up. It's common knowledge

Here I guess, though I know the Tyson boys will jump down my throat about it:

I think the guy who asked for a source was asking in earnest at least. Personally, I thought that was common knowledge....but then again, maybe it's only common knowledge if you're old enough to remember Tyson biting off Holyfield's ear.

I just assumed the Tyson rape thing was common knowledge.

Is this why he went to jail and we had Mr. Dream replace him in Punch Out?

That was going to happen anyway, the contract was up and Mr. Dream was the boss in the original punch-out

I'm not defending him I've just never heard this before.

As I said it wouldn't surprise me I've just never heard about it before.

How dare you not hear of a thing before

[-] kabi@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

You really should fucking know everything I arbitrarily deem to be common knowledge. That thing you thought was common knowledge is niche AF btw.
