Im legit sad about Hana, I don’t watch much stardom but she was one of the ones I followed for sure and seemed to have a real bright future in wrestling, this is lovely to wake up to, and I don’t get why people generally have to suck so bad all the time :[

I’m gonna post this pic hangman posted on insta bc it makes me feel a little better

That’s why I was sarcastic towards him.

I live in Tokyo and have two daughters. Seeing someone say their entire country hates them pissed me off and also reminded me that I should probably take a break myself. Sorry if I caused offence. I’ll unbookmark this thread for a while.

i thought your post was fine, tbh :shrug:

Not too long ago, QANon shitwits were talking about how drinking bleach "would protect them from the coronavirus." I said something to the effect of 'If that's what they think, then they can drink all the bleach they want.'
In less than a minute, I got reported and slapped with a 48 hour ban.

Conversely, a woman gets hundreds of daily messages telling her that she should die over a goddamn reality show. Eventually it becomes too much and she takes her own life.
Will Twitter do anything about that? NOPE. Not a chance in Hell.

It's hosed up that they hide behind an entirely passive system for one of the biggest internet platforms and the primary reason is cost.

People on these kind of reality shows are probably contractually obligated to have social media so they can “engage with the fans” and vice-versa right? I know it doesn’t solve the problem but it’s sucks if you can’t just delete the app sending hateful poo poo into your brain every waking moment.

Yeah, it is just a non-stop hose of poo poo that you can't turn off without not being involved at all with social media. But if you want to self-promote, and you need to for any creative venture, you have to be involved some. The fact that there is no real way to use Twitter without having that endless stream of noise in your face makes it awful.

Asuka had some words about Hana. Sifting through Google translate, the key points are feeling sadness, unable to find the right words and remembering her coming to show as a kid with Kyoko. Followed by another tweet about the hate emails she received before moving west, and unsure if her rep allowed her to comment/express herself about this scary situation.

Doubt that's what she meant and likely mistranslated, but by all means erase her expressions of sympathy. There was more said amongst the translation but harder to parse.

This whole situation is loving awful and Im not in the mood to doubt the condolences posted by fellow wrestlers. (except Ellsworth because, y'know..)

Edit: Apologies in advance if I'm coming across as acerbic at this time.

I don't know where to put this sad feeling and I can't find the words to say ... I remember when Hana was still a little girl, she always came to the venue with her grandmother.


ASUKA posted:

For several years until I moved to the US, I got a lot of emails every day telling me not to die, to break female wrestling, to leave this industry. And today, I was wondering if you couldn't comment yet, even though other players are commenting. I'm too keen on my sense of justice and I don't realize that I'm the same. This is scary.

its pretty easy to throw rocks when everyone is throwing rocks. I'm starting to shy away from the more dunk on social media mentality and just straight blocking lovely people. I don't need to waste my time winging insults at them when I have far more important poo poo to do. I think its important for fandoms to reiterate codes of conducts to their participants and enforce them. I think a certain degree of gatekeeping is essential but its more social contract levels, like "look if you act in a way that makes other people uncomfortable enough to complain, you gotta go. Its our space and it can be yours too if you get along with others" Just basic playground poo poo except dressed in new digital language.

What do your fingers smell like? I absolutely agree with you on this. I've spent a lot of time being angry on social media and all it's done is give me headaches. Hitting the block quickly has done me wonders.

I feel like Asuka was saying that she didn't want to speak out about the harassment for fear of developing a reputation. As in, "oh don't bring her in she's a drama queen". That sort of meathead bullshit.

When someone shines a light on something people don't want to talk about it's a lot easier to cast that person as the problem than it is to try to fix the situation.
