Hey friends — in this episode of Discord Voice Notes Vol. 3, I’m laying it all out.

From the latest Twitter drama involving an agent from Paradigm and the AEW Sickos, to burner accounts harassing creators like me and Nick LoPiccolo — I break it all down. I talk about how trolls try to dox people, weaponize false reports, and use the same tired lines to silence women in wrestling spaces.

I also get personal — about my finances, my struggle with promoting my own work, and the reality of content creation. I share what creators really make on platforms like Spotify and YouTube, and why asking for support isn’t easy — but necessary.

Then, I dive deep into defending MD, a Black creator constantly targeted by lap dogs who can’t handle unfiltered truth. If you've never lived the culture, don’t speak on it.

And finally, I challenge the narrative around feminism and equality in wrestling. Equality sounds great in theory — but what we really need? Merit, skill, and practical tools to thrive. Not empty slogans.

This one’s raw, honest, and unapologetic.

Let’s get into it.

Marie Shadows returns with a fiery editorial on why equality isn’t what the media or wrestling fans think it is. From Bully Ray’s controversial quote to personal experience inside the locker room, Marie pulls no punches on why merit, value, and gratitude matter more than slogans. 💥

💡This episode isn’t anti-women — it’s anti-lies.
