Aleister Black has had enough of online hateand hes calling out the toxic behavior head-on.
During a recent interview with Cody Tucker, the AEW star opened up about how social media has changed the way people treat one another, especially public figures. He pointed to the rise of anonymous trolling and how easy it is now for people to unload criticism without ever having to face the consequences.
Black said that even though the hate comes from strangers behind screens, the words still hit hard. He questioned the mindset of people who spend hours online just to spread negativity.
He believes many trolls use hate as a way to distract from their own failures. Instead of improving themselves, they spend their time bringing others downand in many cases, that becomes their only legacy.
Even though criticism is part of wrestling, Black still finds it bizarre when someone who only sees him on TV for a few minutes a week feels the need to attack him so harshly.
Because of how draining social media can be, Black has taken a step back. He still checks his platforms occasionally, but now has two people managing his accounts to avoid letting it take over his mental space.
Aleister Blacks message is clear: online hate doesnt come from strengthit comes from personal pain. And while he understands criticism comes with the job, hes not here for strangers trying to make others feel small.
