He's 100% doing a bit. The RANT ROOM should've tipped everybody off.

I feel like EC3 is definitely more self-aware than people mocking him give him credit for, but the end product is still an incoherent mess so you can lol away anyway

sticklefifer posted:At this point I legitimately can't decide whether CYN turning out to be a satirical art troll created to mock toxic masculinity would be more funny or less funny than it being real. They're 100% hitting all the notes that a parody would hit. There is that song title scrolling by at the bottom of the video which makes me wonder.

ECIII does not hide his white nationalist leanings with his social media activity, he's not going to create the exact kind of indie you would expect him to create as a super ironic joke. He's just a dumb guy who thinks he is very creative, but understands how to lean into things too.

To resurrect an old list, EC3 follows these people on twitter: Fox News, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Greg Gutfeld, Breitbart, Donald Trump Jr, Marty Scurll, Mike Cernovich, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Daily Wire, Rand Paul, Jack Posobiec, Candace Owens, James Woods, Ben Shapiro, Dan Bongino, Jesse Waters, Scott Adams, Jordan Peterson, OANN, Joe Rogan, Ron DeSantis, Daily Caller, Dan Crenshaw, Devin Nunes, Human Events, TPUSA, Josh Hawley, Prager U, Elise Stefanik, Matt Gaetz, Trey Gowdy, Jason Whitlock, a host of #AmericaFirst candidates, Disco Inferno, and rovert. But he is also following Nathan Fielder and various other comedians in that sphere so all of this feels like a grotesque synthesis of both.

mactheknife posted:are we really already trying to wishful thinking ourselves into the idea that this is a bit I think it's probably a bit to EC3, but that EC3 is also a dumb poo poo who actually believes all of this nonsense. It's the classic "personality turned up to 11" stuff, I think. He's probably self-aware enough to know it's all very stupid and nutty and caters to other idiots like himself, but also knows people will buy into that so he amps it up. In summary, EC3 is a dope.

EC3 absolutely has some degree of self-awareness in terms of being a wrestler and promoter, there's no way you can cut a promo about your seasoned broccoli farts without that. He can also be a meathead chud with his politics. It's not like those two things have to be mutually exclusive. projecthalaxy posted:amazing punchline to that list hahahaha holy poo poo

So what exactly is the bit in EC3 starting a company almost certainly destined to lose money and streaming it on a service started (starting?) by people only EC3 would associate with? Find it doubtful he did all of this just as a fun send up of whatever CYN is supposed to be a send up of! Is it done with some awareness of what will get attention? Of course. But the whole thing isn't a bit.

I would imagine he doesn't expect it to lose money. He's also doing like eight thousand other things – the weird seasoning, his fitness plans and app, probably has his own workout powder or something. Dude is dipping into every imaginable market and probably hoping at least one of them sticks and succeeds. Just because he's probably in on the bit and amping it up to stupid degrees doesn't also mean he doesn't think there's actual value there and that he can make money off of it and the weirdos who will support him.

He's leaning into the aesthetic of what they're doing in an exaggerative and sometimes humorous way, but that doesn't mean he understands that the core that he's exaggerating actually sucks.

It seems like he's hedging for a puppetmaster defense: If it succeeds, it's because he was totally serious and a marketing genius mastermind. If it doesn't, lmao he worked us all with his epic troll and all you idiot marks fell for it. It's not a bit, until it is.

quote:"Hi EC3, #CYN is priding itself to give chances to the voiceless or to those who feel misrepresented by the wrestling world and media. However, just being out there and controlling their narrative hasn't seemed to do a lot for people who want to see positive change first before we "forgive" someone. What is #CYN doing besides booking a wrestling card to motivate us to want to support these people (i.e. Austin Aries)?" "Good question. Short of a wrestling card to help motivate, a lot of our attention will be on mental health as a whole. From a fan perspective and a talent perspective. As we have began, and we have grown, the amount of young talent looking for a place to speak their minds, fears, and anxieties has grown with us. We have developed a true bond, shared our deepest personal issues. Seen grown men cry. Been extraordinary. As far as Austin, you may never agree with him and that’s ok. But him having a place to tell his story as he finds himself is of great intrigue."

Lets not forget this tidbit from EC3 in that Reddit AmA about some of the ideas/motivations behind CYN:EC3 posted:We began as a series of features “Free The Narrative 1 and 2” plus two side art pieces we shot. The top voted response to that is asking how much cocaine he was on when writing that up.

I think the AmA might be over soon. I don't think it could have gone any worse for him at this point. https://www.reddit.com/user/essentialcharacter3/overview Welp spoke too soon: quote:Presentation and Booking: for the performers to facilitate the stories they want to tell, through their lived experiences. Pro wrestling is a great medium for it because when a performer believes in what they are saying and doing, it has gravitas. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Mar 24, 2022 |
