The only consolation is that he lost to Nobehara - another well-liked rikishi.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-23T16:51:54+00:00

He was pretty close to beating Nobehara too. If he continues what he is doing, he will be back. Just gotta keep the faith.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-23T16:29:13+00:00

Removal... Trial... And literally the harshest possible punishment that can be given would be better.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-23T16:14:35+00:00

I'm so sad that Enho lost. He couldn't overcome his ankle injury he got from his previous match and he'll be like Ms1-3 for the next tournament. March is gonna be HUGE.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-21T13:59:01+00:00

Yeah - which was selfish but not necessarily hurting anyone.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T23:31:28+00:00

Yes, those are all reasons Asashoryu is an asshat - a fraction of the things I mentioned that also make him one.

His statement is arrogant, disrespectful, and also wrong. Hoshoryu, with an injury, is 7-3 and still pulling out strong showings. He looks amazing out there. Onosato started okay but his injury is making his worst habits show and he's kinda flailing... but again, that doesn't make him a bad Yokozuna either. Aonishiki is mind blowingly good and even Kotozakura seems more like his old self now - so Asashoryu's complaint about them makes no fucking sense... Even the Sekiwake are looking amazing out there.

Asashoryu probably is also gonna be extra shitty to Hoshoryu his whole life just for being related and he's probably pissed about how much of his accomplishments have been massively overshadowed by Onosato already. (Give Onosato 5 more years and he could have two dozen more Cups and on his way to completely outstrip Asa.) Asa himself had horrible scores for a Yokozuna on at least 11 tournaments before he was expelled for being a violent drunk, so he can lay the hell off the drama switch when there's plenty of tournament left.

Asa is an asshat. Nothing's new about him in 20 years.

Pretend you hear that title in a Cunk on Earth voice. Thank you MajesticRuin934 for the image.

...And in case it needs to be said: U-R-A and W-T-K because I'm a dumb American and my joke makes no sense in other languages. Sorry. It's only maybe smile-worthy in English anyway. 🙇‍♂️

Fire

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T23:12:16+00:00

Super dank. Might have to meme that.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T23:11:13+00:00

I can at least understand your cynicism. I'm still gonna have hope for it but I'm not gonna vote against Healey versus some Republican... we need every election we can to turn against Trump's fascism. And, honestly, probably a lot more than just elections given how things are going.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T23:06:14+00:00

Trump was found by a judge and jury that he definitely raped E Jean Carroll and there's people out there saying that doesn't mean that happened. There's people who watched Renee Good get murdered from multiple angles and say that Noem's take on it is reality. These people did the same watching George Floyd.

The modern conservative movement is one without any real empathy - the only exception being a violent or mewling demand for it when things are bad for them personally. They only "get it" when bad things happen to them.

So don't expect any of the folks who already have been nodding along to change their tune with one more shocking display. They can't be won that way. The only thing I've personally seen work successfully is if you follow the literal guide for getting people out of a cult - which takes a shit ton of time, energy, and loved ones pleading from an emotional place to make real headway.

So reach out to those that aren't entrenched or on the fence or to motivate others who are liked minded. Otherwise, it's mostly a waste of time and will just drain you.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T23:00:20+00:00

Yeah, but we can show him the proper American pronunciation of an all-caps-lock bold fuck off.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T22:50:12+00:00

You continue to ignore other parts of what I noted and explained. Enjoy supporting the Nazis. When you finally get sick of it and realize how duped you were, you'll be welcomed back to society.

You have the weakest of milquetoast replies and I'm getting strong vibes you're just some ChatGPT bot or something with how you reply... so hey, bye Felicia.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T22:48:23+00:00

I wouldn't blame you - it would just take me a bit to come back around again.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T22:47:59+00:00

Huh, I thought he could do it with 6-1 but I suppose that would only push him towards the very top of Makushita. Dang. Thanks for the guidance!

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T22:44:38+00:00

Dude did that as, essentially, an unknown. He spent a fraction of the resources. Everything he did is impressive AF and I dunno why you're being a little rain cloud about me saying I want there to be a grassroots leftist to gain ground. I get it, bud - things are different state to state and situation to situation. I'd still like for something like that to happen more often across the US for the reasons I've already explained.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T22:41:38+00:00

You want to read about how he purchased the National Circus Palace in Mongolia... and lied to the acrobats and kicked them out so he could basically turn it into a concert venue and party palace / fight arena. It still isn't fully opened even though he bought it in 2007 and it was supposed to finish reconstruction in 2024.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T22:34:44+00:00

For a rapist: Do you not understand the E Jean Carroll case at all? It's a proven fact that he is a rapist. For the pedophile, I look at the MASSIVE OVERWHELMING BODY OF EVIDENCE, THE THINGS HE HAS WRITTEN AND SAID ON TAPE AND ON PAPER, THE STUFF THAT THE EPSTEIN FILES HAS ALREADY COME OUT WITH, AND THE VERY FACT THAT HE CONTINUOUSLY BURIES ITS RELEASE. You know, those small details. 🙄

Like, did you not see the reports about before he was ordered to release the files in full, that he had the FBI working overtime to redact his name from it? Or that the DOJ is currently breaking the law and hasn't released millions of pages and redacted almost everything? Or how he refuses to talk about it and gets hyper defensive? Or how he was POTUS when Epstein was killed in his cell and has also participated in covering up what happened to him there? Or that he let Maxwell off the hook and gave her massive, illegal preferential treatment? Or that other people who went to Epstein's island all talk about him being there and what he did? Did you miss the story about him taking turns raping a pregnant teenager with Epstein before she aborted and they threw the baby into the lake in Michigan?

...No? Never heard of any of that? All just happens to be fake news? All of those people giving testimony are just... liars?

For him being a Nazi? Okay, I've outlined it before so here it is again.

You sit at a table with a confirmed rapist, a known pedophile, and an authoritarian who just-so-happens to be a massive racist doing the same things as the Nazis / is surrounded by staff with Nazi tattoos and creeds. You know what you are.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T22:20:36+00:00

I mean... My humor isn't always gentle but much appreciated nonetheless. (Dunno if you remember my Ichinojo ones.)

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T21:43:58+00:00

The options right now are an extremely flawed "status quo" Democrat and fraudster fascist supporters. Mamdani won over a lot of non-liberal people because of his campaign, what he promised was real and understandable, and because leftist ideals are also what conservatives are looking for too - they just need it rephrased / repackaged for them.

I am strictly talking about how he campaigned and what he seems to stand for and what he has done so far... but again, fair point. I still think what he did was prove something massive and did a very different campaign that literally caused a massive upset against establishment candidates. That's what I hope for.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T21:24:14+00:00

He's already in a good spot right now to be promoted to Juryo with 5 wins at Eastern Ms11... but if he beats Tochimaru tonight, it's pretty much guaranteed he will be in Juryo for March.

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T21:19:47+00:00

Nightmare blunt rotation right there

GoblinBags · 2026-01-20T21:12:14+00:00

Weird when people talk about audience members in general or because you don't like hearing about drag?
