New politics as wrestling just dropped
Kayfabe, the noble lie that wrestling is real
Neo-kayfabe, wresting is fake but also real and we’re going to bounce between the truth and lie
Nothing was off-limits in neokayfabe. Mr. McMahon and the performers could say the unutterable, do the unthinkable — the more shocking, the better — and fans would give it their full attention because they couldn’t always figure out if what they were seeing was real or not. The human mind is easily exploited when it’s trying to swim the choppy waters between fact and fiction.
Old kayfabe was built on the solid, flat foundation of one big lie: that wrestling was real. Neokayfabe, on the other hand, rests on a slippery, ever-wobbling jumble of truths, half-truths, and outright falsehoods, all delivered with the utmost passion and commitment. After a while, the producers and the consumers of neokayfabe tend to lose the ability to distinguish between what’s real and what isn’t. Wrestlers can become their characters; fans can become deluded obsessives who get off on arguing or total cynics who gobble it all up for the thrills, truth be damned.

Bah.
A crappy, far less entertaining summary of a bunch of 10 year old DVaut1 posts from the old forum. What a legend. sniff
No air mattress? No sofa?
There probably is, but he rents those out for $200/night.

Apparently landlords demanding sex for rent is very widespread. Addsvlike the above are reasonably common.
Wait, that’s not just a “plot line” from p0rn???
So how does this work in this case?
When someone inquires, does he request photos?
I didn’t notice him specifying male or female renters. Is he bisexual and he will just bang anyone? If it is a dude (or a woman if he is gay), does he just say, "Sorry we’re booked for that date? (or whatever)?
It would be infinitely better if the ad was just blunt and said that the cost of the night is fucking me. Is prostitution illegal in Australia?
There is legal prostitution in Australia. I don’t know whether this particular form is illegal.
Prostitution is legal in Melbourne, but demanding sex for accommodation is super-duper illegal. Like Rugby said I don’t doubt it is going on. The rental market over here at the moment is insanely tight because of the multi-decade mismanagement of the housing sector.
Not sure if mentioned anywhere but this should have happened a long time ago

“By Monday, I should be mostly canceled. So most of my income will be gone by next week,” he said. “My reputation for the rest of my life is destroyed. You can’t come back from this.”
Poor guy.

Wait why didn’t they just leave the cartoons in the paper and edit the things he said?

A hat group, one that has a fondness for and a good taste in hats.
Perhaps still a touch racist but more palatable and benign imo.

Can we flesh this out a bit more? Seems really tough to enforce and prosecute this.
Illegal: Have sex with me and you can stay in this apartment for one night.
Legal: Have sex with me and I’ll give you $200. BTW, I have an apartment that I rent out for $200/night if you’re interested. To be clear, these two offers are completely unrelated.
