A couple weeks ago this person who doesn't normally post in wrestling threads popped in to talk poo poo and the thread treated them like a brony sitting down for a pop tart in Satriale's.escape artist posted:Can someone explain why Jon Moxley is so popular? Jericho carried him in that match. That was honestly rough to watch. Click the post number and it should take you to the thread and the responses they got. It was like immediate shutdown and exclusion and examples of where a mod could have came in and encouraged people to either discuss or ignore. I try and only post in the game day thread's because the clique is just not fun to post in amongst - very hive mind, which must be fun for them but if the forum is supposed to be for more than that then surely a balance can be struck?

I don't think those 3 are in a clique together though there are a lot of bad posts there, including op, that a mod could have stepped in and said to move on. But I'm not that shocked someone got heat for opening the thread with asking why a beloved wrestler is loved because they can see that he sucks.

Good post: "Can someone explain why Jon Moxley is so popular? I don't understand it" Bad post: "Can someone explain why Jon Moxley is so popular? Jericho carried him in that match. That was honestly rough to watch." You can see how they're going to get different reactions.

No grudge, just felt like they didn’t actually want an answer to their question because of the way it was asked. Gatekeeping mediocrity is pretty fun though

You can’t play the “I’m new to wrestling what even is this” card at the same time as the “here is my unpopular opinion full of insider terms” card because it makes you look like a disingenuous fuckwit.

First of all, It looks to me like he got the exact response he wanted, he posted something very provocative in a very drive by manner. but even taking it in good faith, if you go to any thread about a particular thing and immediately tear down one of the core parts of that thing with little to no evidence or justification you're probably going to get that kind of response. The only mod action I would want here is punishing the dumbass posting low quality bait just to rile people up.

I mean it's not the most ideal way of posting, but I can understand why they'd maybe think goons wouldn't be so precious about their tv show and there'd be a bit of back and forth. And still here we have the "righteous exception" attitude a lot of the AEW thread bullies have where they feel empowered to nuke people and opinions on their thread that they don't like.

Brut posted:What insider terms did they use? "Carrying" does show your hand a little. It's wrestler lingo compared to "Jericho was doing all the work in that match" and also just implies you're watching the match in a way someone versed in wrestling would and paying attention to how the wrestlers are "working". I definitely think the dude would have gotten a better response if he had just asked why people like Moxley and not why we like Moxley who sucks.

Dude came in and asked why everyone's favorite wrestler sucks. I'm not sure what's hard to get here and no one got nuked. Like, the flip side of all of this is that if you go into a thread and ask everyone why their favorite wrestler sucks and then call it a circle jerk when that makes them mad it's your own communication skills that are getting in the way here too. Could people have responded better? Yeah. Did OP start the conversation as poorly as possible and then dig down? Also yes. Gumball Gumption fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Sep 1, 2022 |

Implying Jon Moxley needs to be carried in 2022 out of the blue is not wise. That's all I'll add to the topic.

I barely post here anymore and haven't read the AEW thread in weeks so cannot comment on how the anti-Mox troll was treated but i just want to praise "treated them like a brony sitting down for a pop tart in Satriale's" as one heck of a metaphor for "was rude to"

regular sa wrestleposters are very online and are aware there's a bunch of prominent people in the greater wrestling sphere like Cornette that say some disingenuous poo poo that gets picked up and parroted by his fans and people who are similarly awful, regardless of how true it is I don't know anything about the op in question here but either unwittingly or not they dropped into the thread to echo exactly what those people were digging into at the time

If you jump into a thread to "ask a question" that is really just you expressing an opinion like an rear end in a top hat in any thread on SA associated with a niche or a hobby it's probably going to go the exact same way.

it's not an experience unique to wrestling's chunk of the internet where you see some rando try to start a conversation as if it was fresh ground except they use terms and phrasing that you've seen dozens of times before from assholes (usually, again, Cornette) maybe the person is actually coming up with the opinion themselves and aren't sea lioning, but maybe they use one of the homophobic nicknames for Kenny or act like he beat up a child on the street and you go 'oh, one of These again'

The Hausu Usher posted:A couple weeks ago this person who doesn't normally post in wrestling threads popped in to talk poo poo and the thread treated them like a brony sitting down for a pop tart in Satriale's. When I watched AEW regularly I would post in the threads with my opinions on what I watched & I was often less positive on stuff than the thread consensus (for lack of a better term, I don't really think there's a hive mind so much as just like-minded people sharing their passion for something) & nobody ever got unfairly hostile to me. There's a way of talking about something that other people are passionate about where you disagree without saying "wow, why do you like this thing when it is clearly bad?" Because that doesn't suggest actually wanting a discussion, that's being on the wind-up. At the bare minimum, if you come into a thread acting hostile you can't be shocked when people are hostile back, such is the internet. Either deal with the consequences of your actions & take it on the chin, de-escalate, or just maybe think about how to ask your question a little harder so it doesn't come off like you're a wind-up merchant?

tbh there does also seem to be a bunch of people getting upset that 'you can't criticize aew' when the real pushback only happens when someone has a take that doesn't really match up with what's actually literally happening on tv like, if you're complaining about someone not being on TV when they've been on Rampage constantly people are going to to go 'lol what are you talking about'

Is the discussion here about how it is - or about acknowledging things could be better; and that perhaps some people need to adjust to encourage a wider posting community (if that's what is desired)? This knee-jerk conspiracy Cornete thing in particular is crazy. It's like half the goons in the forum must be spending a lot of time on his website and be 100% up to date on his opinions in order to keep up with what other people are saying and be in a position of accusing them of "repeating Jim Cornette lines". I think justifying being a horrible scrote to someone because you accuse them of being a bot for a podcaster is an attitude that needs to be dropped going forward if things are going to get better. Sometimes it's just someone with a negative opinion and if they can be grouped in with a pariah of the PSP then it's easier to shut them up. If someone is genuinely trying to troll your favourite hobby then report to a mod, if it's consistent block them. Don't get out the whiteboard/red string or start rounding up a posse.

For my own two cents since my post was pointed out I think I gave them the response they deserved which was disbelief at the idea that someone could think Moxley is such a bad wrestler he had to be carried by Jericho. It just didn't make any sense. But I did actively attempt to not be mean in my post

Genuinely sorry for assuming someone listens to Cornette just for asking an abrasive question that sounds just like him. escape artist posted:So I'm finally back into wrestling after 20+ years thanks to AEW. I do have to say though, Jim Cornette's weekly criticism is part of my enjoyment too. Oh right it wasn't an assumption. Getting really old having to defend myself and being called a Horrible scrote because I didn't let some guy know the thing he definitely really wanted to know.
