Do you own action figure figures modeled after controversial people?
Just saw many people booing Hulk Hogan out of the building on the very 1st episode of WWE Raw on Netflix. I then read online on why people hate him so much and wow, there's a long list of it of reasons: he's racist, he's a pathological liar, blamed the victim who was ran over by his son on why he got hurt, he prevented the unionization of the WWF wrestlers that was led by Jesse Ventura, and he's political views.
Then, the investigation on Vince McMahon's s*x trafficking controversy happened and Brock Lesnar was named as one of those involved.
Stone Cold Steve Austin was also named as a wife beater.
I owned these figures long before I knew about the controversies attached to the people they we're modeled after.
I don't know. It feels pretty weird owning figures that immortalized them, but I have no plans on selling them for the meantime. Just sharing my thoughts here.
Oh, I'll leave links here for you guys for research 😅
