No surprise. Fallon is barely even human. Just a hollow machine for propagating the system's needs.

Fallon and every single person involved in lining up McGregor as a guest. Absolutely disgusting.

You can see it in his eyes, he's dead inside.

I'll just leave this here. https://youtu.be/g0MZSmfEeTY

And I'll say, shaming Fallon is useless. Maybe shaming Questlove could work, but I'm beginning to have my doubts.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 82 points 2 days ago

He's always been this way.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 day ago

Hes starting the media circuit to wash his image for his big return to the ufc.

fallon is fucking scum... how this untalented clown has a career is beyond me. his whole schtick was him laughing like a fucking moron while breaking character and ruining skits

[–] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 days ago

His whole job is effectively creating the pre-recorded sitcom laugh track for our society. He has never been funny, like you said, when working with actually funny people his only move was to "mess up" and ruin their good work.

His only talent is being charismatic enough (somehow) to make others think they should be laughing when they see him do it. It's a laugh track, it's literally just directly telling people "you're having fun!", and a bunch of us sadly responding with "gosh that guy sure is fun". This man's entire career.

Said it before and I'll say it again, I'm 100% convinced that Horatio Sanz took the fall for shit that he and Jimmy Fallon were both doing. But Jimmy was NBC's golden boy, so they covered it up.

if you elect a rapist president, you're gonna have have rapist celebrities....

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Conor McGregor is Irish.

Though I suppose I'm unaware if the president of Ireland is a rapist or not.

Good for her. Television in the US is about the become (even more of) an absolute wasteland due to the continuing consolidation of media control, I would hope that some of these hosts/anchors/actors/artists would push back some seeing as how they are the ones people want to see. No one is watching TV for the ads despite what they would really like

Text reads:

Conor McGregor raped a woman so brutally that the EMT who saw her commented on the severity of her bruising. She also had to have the tampon she was using when he raped her surgically removed, as it had been shoved so far inside her.

Why the ABSOLUTE FUCK is this piece of human garbage being given a platform on Jimmy Fallon's show?

Shame on you, Jimmy.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (10 children)

Also IO Interactive gave this rapist a bag of money to have him in their Hitman game. Don’t buy that new 007 game or any of IOI’s work.

Jimmy Fallon would happily keep doing his latenight comedy show where he socializes with members of the ruling class even if we had gas chambers and mass executions.

I would like to understand why, when ask these questions, which demand a sober, reflective response after some internal dialogue, we stop there, and seem to gloss over what I consider important follow ups:

  • Why in the fuck do we have a thing called "Ultimate Fighting Champion" and still think men should be treated with any degree of seriousness?
  • Have we considered that there is actually enough fighting already and being an ultimate champion of it is not the flex some think it is?
  • Having considered the first 2, why would anyone care about/admire/wish to be seen in the vicinity of the winner of this thing, let alone any rando participant?
  • Have we considered there might be a causal connection between his rapey-ness and his ultimate fighter champion-ness? Sex and violence do go to the same concerts a lot...

I can't think of a single thing that would make my wish I had my time back more than spending 30 seconds watching this fucking drivel. It's pig swill distilled into electromagnetic waves meant for things with a lot less folds in the cerebellum.

[–] winkledinkle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (7 children)

men should be treated with any degree of seriousness?

Regardless of gender, if you're sexist you should never feel like you're taken seriously.

On that note, LOL.

In January 2021, after prosecutors declined to prosecute McGregor for the 2018 alleged sexual assault, a civil claim for damages was launched in the High Court.

On 22 November 2024, the jury returned their verdict and found that McGregor had raped Hand. Accordingly, McGregor was ordered to pay Hand nearly €250,000 in damages.

What the fuck Ireland? You're all okay with this dumbass justice system?

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Once again the rich use the legal system to purchase some "rape time" for a paltry €250,00.00.

[–] imahappyguy@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Which rape is this? He's raped many women.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is the woman who sued him in civil court and won, Nikita Hand. Not before McGregor's goons broke in and stabbed her boyfriend several times though.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What they broke in stabbed her boyfriend and raped her. Never go any jail time. WTF.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Yep. They were trying to intimidate her into not testifying.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

He was also in that rubbish Roadhouse remake, made by Amazon.

The billionaire class is locked in on rape.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Man, if I ever watched Fallon, I'd be super pissed right now...

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 days ago (9 children)

It’s ok, you can be pissed that a rapist is being platformed at all. Especially in mainstream media.

I would like to avoid whatever they’re involved in.
