Conor McGregor Megathread *Mod Warning in OP Updated 20th April*

Call for a retail and consumer boycott of McGregor’s Stout business and the whiskey he sold but still promotes .

Thankfully I’ve never tasted either and don’t intend to- I imagine the people who have drank these are hard McGregor fans - whilst it probably won’t put them off drinking the stuff likely the main supermarkets may well discontinue selling it leaving them harder to source - I assume considering the vast amount he sold his whiskey business for, that it’s more an American market than Irish one anyway so likely sales overall won’t be impacted much?

This is gas. He's not victim blaming, he's just pointing out the victim surely knew McGregor had form and she chose to put herself at risk so she has a part to play. Have I got it right this time?

I think that's probably my cue to exit the conversation.

Incorrect. The onus is on men not to rape women. The vast majority of people no longer live by "boys will be boys" although it looks like the people who do like to hang out on boards

It's absolutely not a red herring. It was a key piece of evidence because no woman would ever consent to having sex while wearing a tampon. Ergo she is highly unlikely to have consented to intercourse. Jesus, do you have any idea about female anatomy?

Yep, the McGregor products are targeting a very specific demographic so I'm not sure sure if they're the kind that engage with boycotts.

"it was obvious to anyone who wasn’t buying the hype that he was a glorified pub fighter, a chip shop brawler after closing time, a useless amateur boxer "

We'll just write off his whole mma career so...?

you clearly didnt read what I said. Under normal circumstances you’re correct. Ms. Hand said she was quite drunk. When people are drunk, they are not thinking and acting the same. So it’s absolutely not silly to believe that a woman could have sex with a tampon in due to her being drunk.

To add: I believe her claim that she did not consent

A chip shop brawler is definitely what he turned into. He had at one time been a top MMA fighter and that's absolutely no mean feat, but he's given into all of the temptations that his fame and wealth have afforded him and become a philandering coke addict trading on former glory.

If you isolate the story of his rise from unemployed plumber-by-trade to someone who competed at the top of MMA, that's still a story to be inspired by, but the rest of his personal life absolutely is not.

Ah I see, I misread.

Well done for completely ignoring the content of my post to suit your agenda.

If you can get the shops to boycott then job done. But yes looking at MMA twitter his fans are in full defence of him. This won't make any difference to his following across the water.

are you saying that what constitutes RD is a sliding scale, depending on the alleged crime and potential sentence which is determined by the judge?
