My only real knowledge of jordynne grace is a video she posted to instagram where she pulled an open pocket knife out of her dogs mouth and yelled at it for being bad. And everybody was all agh cute >_<; but I’m over here all like, it is not the fault of the dog, why do you have open folding knifes around where a lil dog could get it, he could have died. So based on that I hope she smokes a cartoonishly large cigar that is obviously (to comical degrees) a stick of dynamite and her head gets exploded

she put the knife in the dog's mouth and then started recording. someone had evidence and her fans killed the person with the "sister ray" cannon from final fantasy seven. its power was originally run by huge materia from the junon underwater reactor, and it was later moved to midgar so that it could be powered by the city's vast mako reserves. i don't know what was powering it at the time of the murder

There's the line about No Ethical Consumption In Capitalism but more often than not with my entertainment dollar I'm trying to ethically consume and not support bad people. It's often futile but I do it. When a musician or comedian is a bad person its easier to drop them than a product, be it a film or a team. You gotta consider the extent of the problem, if its a teammate/a few people with bad politics vs a tolerated/advocated culture, etc. Wrestling has always been hard with this in mind and the more we have the ability to know everything about everyone in these companies the easier it is to find something that will turn me off. I haven't spent a dollar on WWE in at least 4 years*, but even the money I've moved into AEW tickets has put me in front of multiple people I feel icky about. With any art/sport that requires a large group of people, this It's always going to be this way. With Vince it's easier to write off the whole WWE since the rot comes from the top, even after he's gone. The way he shaped the entire industry is baked into the product, impossible to ignore and will be for some time. He hasnt been the author of the product for some time but the product is reflective of his voice. There will be no way to watch the product and not think about him. You'd have to do a lot of mental gymnastics to not think about him. If you think you can or should attempt to ethically consume, you should (continue to) not be spending money on WWE. You can probably watch individual matches or maybe shows in a vacuum, but there is absolutely no way you can watch 5-10 hours of weekly content and not be thinking of this guy constantly and be okay with it. *I have a login to Sportsnet via a friend that I've used to watch WWE here and there and have felt guilty for at least a moment every time. Which will include tonight as I ritually attempt to enjoy the Royal Rumble.

It's about massive systems that you're forced to live with because they're outside your control. Giving money to your favorite underwear fighting league is entirely within your control. The only reason you're watching the Royal Rumble is because you (not you MasterSitsu specifically) want to!

You need food and clothing and shelter to survive, so sometimes you have to do business with companies or individuals that are less than ethical, depending on your circumstances and your environment. You don't need to watch WWE to survive.

You need food and clothing and shelter to survive, so sometimes you have to do business with companies or individuals that are less than ethical, depending on your circumstances and your environment. You don't need to watch WWE to survive. To use a non wrasslin example with a semi obscure music band: Crystal Castles. I’ve liked their stuff from early to late period but then one day you find out truly awful stuff about the male half of the band. Really gross. All you have to do is NOT give any money to anything by Crystal Castles or Alex Kath. Alice Glass is cool and a survivor so give her all the monies. Don’t even stream off their official YouTube (if it’s still there as gently caress that guy and I won’t even check) which may hurt but let it go. You can find non monstrous avenues for jams. Same applies for anyone who liked lostprophets. Let that poo poo go including the name. It’s tainted to the core. I always hated that “no ethical consumption under capitalism” bs. Same with the “it is what is is” American saying. Just feels like the worst conservative people twist it so nothing ever changes or gets done so they can stay comfortable.

You need food and clothing and shelter to survive, so sometimes you have to do business with companies or individuals that are less than ethical, depending on your circumstances and your environment. You don't need to watch WWE to survive. I hear you. The point I was trying to make is simply that the more people are involved in a project, the more likely it is that af least one person is going to eventually gently caress up or reveal themself and make it dubious to support it. Which forces you to weigh how much bad is tolerable in order to support the good people there. If a key grip on a film is a murderer, you probably don't care. If it's someone on screen, many more people care. If it's the screenwriter, star or director, everyone suffers. And in most cases there's usually not anyone involved who faced consequences, you are the only judge. MasterSitsu fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Jan 27, 2024 |

At the end of the day, it's not anyone's responsibility to worry about the good people who work with or for someone who is an absolute monster. Because otherwise you go down a pretty deep rabbit hole of doing things like rationalizing why it's okay to watch WWE, when the company's been owned by, run by, and employed some absolutely horrible people for years.

I had originally thought about subscribing to peacock to finish the season of Traitors and also get the Rumble. Now I will just wait until the last few episodes and finish it then.
