It's not that kind of test.

Yep. If a freelancer like Miyako Matsumoto wants to put out a photobook then hey, good for them. They have full autonomy over that choice.

But for example AZM had a photobook out when she was 16. A quick look online at reviews (yes, Joshi fans are often loving weird, I avoided watching Joshi for ages just because the fanbase online were really off-putting and ridiculously thirsty) suggests there were no bikini or particularly sexualised shots which is... something I guess. But it definitely feels exploitative. Especially when it turns out that the promoter likes to collect them.

When I started watching Stardom I looked up most of the wrestlers to try to familiarize myself with them and understand their backgrounds a bit. I was appalled when I came across (what I think was) an official promotional shot of then-14-year-old Hanan captioned "the sexy Hanan." It wasn't racy or anything but still gross that she was described that way.

I hope this is bait,. It's reddit so it could be squared circlejerk, but, my brain is just telling me this is real, there is just so many WWE diehards online that will "stand up for WWE" even if there is a criminal offense.

it's real. there is not a hint of irony in this at all, it's just a very stupid and sad person trying their hardest to stand up for WWE

It’s literally the only good sex scene in any video game ever, IMO. It’s doing something unique and different, with a character who feels more like a real person than any BioWare side piece, and it meters out the gratuity in a way that still feels immersive. It’s the only sex scene in a video game I would want to show someone and be like “isn’t this neat? What do you think?”, every other sex scene in the game is skin-peeling levels of cringe and I’d be ashamed to turn to anyone next to me on a couch and say “yeah, this is how I like to spend my free time, playin vidja games.”

2) Not traveling over 4 hours to see a main event like Red Velvet vs Ruby Soho

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I always love those notion that just being in another wrestler company is going to somehow ruin a wrestlers career. Like do they really think WWE would go "Oh eww you were in AEW? No THANKS"
