I've been a filmmaker in Los Angeles for decades and i've turned down more than one opportunity to work with him. My agent still doesn't get it. I have a strong moral compass and do my best at not affiliating with oddly homophobic fascists. Why would someone come to a city full of artists making films. Known around the world for being lgbt+-friendly. Then go around spouting violent homophobia? (^o^)/ I’ve never wished a man dead, but this was one of many I have read with great pleasure.
It's funny to me how some famous Americans seem to get a reversed "don't speak ill of the dead" situation. I only hear great things from them while they are alive but then when they die I see a huge eruption of "well actually he was a huge piece of shit" and it's never surprising hahaha
I remember seeing a news story where he was afraid that the US military was going to invade texas because they were having an exercise there. weird that he was a supporter of the US military if he was so concerned. also the fact the texas is part of said country.
I was saying that when the Chuck Norris posts were all over the place. "Hey, he's a piece of shit" "No. Chuck Norris is so tough [insert meme here]"...
Oh wow, that was so good to read, and the comments in here too. I belong to a channel that my family posts in. There's 6 of us and it's an even 50/50 of Evangelicals and atheists. We've had it for years, everyone keeps to themselves. It's for jokes, silly memes, sharing our cats, and just a great place. Until today. My nephew (in his 40s) posts this meme about Norris loving Jesus, being a family man, and all this good stuff. I pointed out that he cheated on his wife & had a kid out of wedlock.
So not so much a Jesus loving family man. I got laughed at, mocked, and shut down by the 2 other Christians who rushed to his defense, the other two were silent. I'm pissed and disappointed and once again reminded how much my family can be toxic. I've always respected their beliefs. Never preached at them when I was religious, never tried to de-convert them when I left religion, don't bring up hot topics, nada. And got hit with this - and then it got worse. My nephew responds with this ...
preaching, his mom rushes in to back him up, about how everyone deserves forgiveness, blood of jesus blahblahblah and how dare I talk about a dead guy that way. Typical Christianity: You can be as abhorrent as you want, but you don't ever have to answer for it because just a little prayer and confess and off you go to have another day. Disgusting people.
Sorry for the vent. I'm angry and upset that I let myself get complacent with them - yet again.
I honestly knew nothing of Chucks political views until today and I still dont care. Furthermore I think most people miss the point that all the chuck norris memes arent about that hes some kinda amazing badass, its more about he thinks he is and we were all just enjoying a laugh making fun of it. I get that a lot of people have bad views on things but you dont actually address any of that by attacking the person or trying to cancel them that just makes people double down on their shitty views.
Why? Chuck Norris jokes aren't a measure of respect. They're extreme hyperbole that make fun of Norris' tough guy attitude and his can't be knocked down movie and TV persona.
Because far too many don't get the satire and thus it wound up propping up his career and mythos, ultimately giving him a bigger platform to spread his bigotry.
Not in Usersub. The amount of "RIP Chuck Norris, he was one of the great ones" posts I've been downvoting all day is staggering. Literally a hundred plus over 8 hours.
My partner was a bit sad over it and I asked her, genuinely "Can you name even one of his movies?" She could not. She just loved making the Chuck Norris jokes, which is fair, especially for people like us who grew up in the 80s and 90s.
Same. Those jokes were my fave until I learned about his personal beliefs. He was not someone I wanted to be associated with, even if it was just jokes..
Similar here too. Grew up in rural america so same people telling awful racist jokes were the ones enjoying the CN jokes a lot. Still baffles me how I ever found any of those funny, however briefly that time was. Young and dumb.

And the world is better off because he is gone.

Yeah, but he made some neat videos, so we can celebrate the neat and condemn the terrible.

The best part about norris was the chuck norris memes. Which of course have very little to do with the MAN, chuck norris.

Damn, I had no idea he was such a jerk. :(

Standard pedophile supporting Republican.

Anytime people started telling his jokes, I'd one-up them by changing it to Bruce Lee jokes because Bruce taught Chuck and was so much more badass!!!

“badass”! Now there’s an expression that needs to be euthanized.

That's so goddamn accurate it hurts like a super sonic kick to the face!!!

Looks like poster who wanted only positive posts on CN deleted their posts cause we all called chuck a piece of shit.
Glad to see a post with facts on the piece of shit this person was.
May he rot in piss

That last sentence was a real finisher move.

It seems to be that the post was taken down

And they blocked all the negative commenters from the new post...

Sounds like they a cuck for Trump.
If you ain’t against them then you with them.
Zeeall
They posted/deleted 3 times now, in a pathetic attemt to only get positive comments.
xeoxion
Such a sad cuck
Clockworkdancerobot
His stance on Gay people way early on raised an eyebrow with me. He wrote some stuff about Gay = Pedo and other vile ideas.
urusername2
And yet he seemed to love the Pedo in Chief!
itsokimaussie
Pedos of a feather, flock together.

And he later proved he only thought being gay was bad, not being a pedo

I've wanted the Chuck Norris facts to be repurposed for someone who isn't garbage for a long time now

You can't turn them into jokes about Bruce Lee... 'cause Bruce Lee is no joke!

I read some of the OG ones recently and man, they did not age well. So they're in keeping with who he really was.
