...what's the context here? Since the quoted tweet is gone.

Deleted tweet was: “Why can’t it be just an AEW pride shirt? Why does your name have to be attached to it? In fact, shouldn’t it be something like a Nyla Rose or a Sonny Kiss t-shirt as they are part of the community? poo poo, I ought to go in marketing. 😒”

So bad faith garbage that Brandi shouldn’t have even bothered with.

idk if it was entirely bad faith -- pride month these days always kicks off with a bunch of corporations deciding they're gay for a month for money and i could see someone sighing heavily at the cody rhodes tattoo pride shirt and thinking it was worth saying something about. but that's not really something that's fixed by making it a generic aew pride shirt, and brandi's response implies some behind the scenes stuff about people (rightfully) not wanting to be singled out/pushed to the forefront this month

Nah it’s bad faith dickheadery.

If LGBT+ roster members want to do something for pride they can, the company pushing them to do it is what would make it bullshit tokenism.

Edit: in fact you already kind of touched on it, if anything a generic AEW rainbow shirt would have the whiff of corporate us-too all over it so if anything even a non-LGBT+ roster member putting their name to it feels more sincere.

I wouldn’t defend Cody putting out the shirt, but naming two members of the roster who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community you fee should have pride branded goods and derisively announcing you should’ve gone into marketing is definitely bad faith.

In all fairness to Cody, "tacky" is half of his skillset. Take pride out of it, he'd make something that can still make you cringe on any day of the week.

Eh, a good bit of that Pride month shirt money is going to the National Center for Transgender Equality, so it's less of a corporate cash grab than a lot of other, similar gestures would be. I'm okay with Cody being extra if it's for charity.

Yeah the thing that matters is where the money goes. The money from the shirt is going to a good charity. It's good even if it's horrifically tacky.

only Cody Rhodes had the guts to make a pride shirt.

needless Kulture City burial kinda.

I think her point was that Kulture City opted out because they didn’t want to deal with dipshit wrestling fans which seems entirely believable.

If he is being serious about an embargo, there should not be a “might” at all since, as soon as the time limit expires for the embargo, then he can release the news.

If the information is only able to be released when the entity releases it, then he has no real news information and is being Rovert.
