Bryan's character is basically Vince seeing AOC's tweets, thinking that's how young minority hoodlums talk, and filtering it through a middle age white guy who kinda believes in it. The character sucks and it's actually detrimental to the entire planet and the writers know it.

Heels saying true things really never works. Like, the response to Muhammad Hassan calling Americans racist for thinking he's a terrorist even though he's an American from Detroit wasn't "yeah, technically you're right, but you're such a jerk about it and therefore we hate you!" It was always baiting an audience into booing a brown dude because some other brown dudes did some bad poo poo. And we needn't look any further than where that angle ended up to know that's what Vince wanted to begin with. WWE pretty consistently has the heels airing grievances the crowd also has, and then they get confused when people cheer the heels and boo the babyface for stealing Zack Ryder's girlfriend or whatever, and that's a Vince problem inexorably linked to this one: he doesn't understand that we don't like the things he likes, and don't hate the things he hates, and even when, in this case as in Hassan's, he might hit on something the audience does hate? It's not something we should hate. But I really don't expect a septuagenarian billionaire to understand why I don't like capitalism and don't hate people who aren't white so this isn't exactly a surprise.

The basis of "animals should be treated ethically" or "consume less/no meat due to corporate farming and treatment of animals in the food business" is not bad at all. The messaging and statements that PETA usually puts out however is usually overly aggressive, non-factual and at times borderline illegal.

A good summary of everything is here. Essentially a ton of euthanizing/killing animals themselves (some instances being done sans owner's consent), sexist and racist marketing/campaigns, endorsing Sheriff Arpaio for cutting meat out of prisoners' diets, and saying removing dairy products from your life can help fix your autism

Ivelisse sucks but I still can't believe anyone signed those LU contracts or didn't ask for a release at the end of season 4. I know the scene wasn't as hot when LU started, but loving lol at being stuck in that unending contract right when wrestling companies are competing to sign people left and right.

Ivelisse being apparently a bad person aside, Joey Ryan (who also sucks but has little incentive to lie) backed up her story.

Chris James 2 posted:"Nobody imagined when they first signed that it'd be as much of a disaster as it wound up being" is the only thing I can think of Yeah, I get that no one could predict at the beginning. But per Joey Ryan and others, they gave people the opportunity to leave after Season 4 and get out of the contract. At the end of Season 4, only the most deluded of human beings could think staying with LU was a good idea, unless literally no other promotion on Earth would book you. Which seems to be the case with Ivelisse, so I'm not sure why she's complaining when she could have left like everyone else.

I dunno if you've seen her on UUDD, but she's not too great at VR games (check her playthrough of Superhot VR) or the WWE 2K games (although I'll give her a pass on those since those games are terrible anyways). Anyways, with Xavier starting a new series to show off people's video game collections, I wonder how long it will be until they get around to showing off Asuka's collection. If I recall, Eurogamer ran an article where they interviewed her, and she has one of the larger collections in the world. I guess she has enough games to the point of where she has to rent out a climate controlled facility in Osaka. And whenever she wants a game from there, she has it shipped over.
