“That’s what I wish”- Joe Rogan believes online trolls should be “mandated” to show their real identity
Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan wants toxic social media users to attach their own profile picture along with the city address. In the fight business fans many fans are extremely connected to the fights and the fighters. This obsession and connection makes it harder to take when their favourite fighters lose the fights. Other than that, fans who bet money on fighters get angry if the fighter loses the fight.
All these scenarios prompt these fans to get on social media and start talking extremely bad things about these fighters. This creates an overall atmosphere of hateness. Everyfighter gets love as well as happiness but it crosses the line when these fans start giving death threats, vulgar slurs towards the fighters.
Joe Rogan on or people talking smack about fighters on social media
Rogan did a podcast with Firas Zhahibi on ‘ The Joe Rogan Experience’. During the conversation, the pair discussed the hate comments and remarks MMA fighters get from toxic fans after losing a fight.
While talking about the solution, Rogan explained that internet users who talk down on fighters should be mandated to share their profile picture and address. Rogan revealed that by doing that social media can be a little more civilized. Rogan remembered reading some of the comments from the toxic fans and ended up deciding not to do it ever again.
He said :
“I wish they all had to use their name with thier face and show the city where they live. That’s what I wish. I wish like if you wanted to have more civilized version of social media. It should be able to see you face and your name and where you live…. I read it few a times like the crazy shit that people write. I’m like, I don’t want any part of you. “
It’s true that users in the shade of an alias name and fake profile picture feel to have the liberty and power to talk bad to anybody. However, many of them won’t be able write any of those words if their identity is revealed in public.
