UPDATE: Paul 'BizNasty' Bissonnette has responded to Ryan Whitney's meme from last night with an updated 'family friendly' version.
If you didn't see it yesterday, Whitney caused a bit of a stir online with some fans after he posted a meme that some are saying promotes sexual assault. The meme was basically a Bruins grizzly bear just giving it to a sad Leafs polar bear.
Check it out:
Again, this doesn't offend me personally but I could see how some people would find it triggering.
In an effort to help out his good buddy and Spittin' Chiclets co-host, Bissonnette shared a watered down version of the same meme, this time with the Leafs giving it to the Bruins, albeit in a different way:
Now I'm just waiting for someone to be offended by this...
Read below for our earlier report on this story, published yesterday.
Former NHL defenseman and current co-host of the popular Barstool Sports hockey "Spittin' Chiclets" podcast Ryan Whitney found himself in the crosshairs of some fans after the less than positive reception to a social media post of his went viral earlier in the week.
Whitney posted an AI-generated image of what some are interpreting as making light of sexual assault, as it depicted a bear wearing a Bruins jersey standing in a compromising position in front of a crouched bear wearing a Maple Leafs jersey.
And instantly, there was immediate backlash from several users on X, many of whom accused him of insensitivity.
However, not all of the replies were negative, with many saying they support Whitney and believe that those opposed to his original message are too easily offended.
