in the wwe thread it was brought up that you're allowed to say wwe viewers are rape lovers, or rapist lovers because that's making fun of them. that's their burden to bear, and it's got nothing to do with me. but i need to mention it as i wanted to propose that people could sign up for a free gang tag saying "please don't call me a rape lover as i don't watch that program" or similar. that way, the few proud heroes who police those threads making all kinds of fun would know who to hurry and accuse of loving rape without accidentally creating any "friendly fire" against people who they get angry at for personal reasons. i'd like to request for myself a second tier tag above the first one which in addition to saying that i don't watch, it also says, "i don't like a single person in wwe, while you seem to love several of them." so that i get treated properly according to my station in the future. thanks very much

i was already annoyed at the use of "rape company" at the time of this post but seeing it lobbed at mr. cavauro in particular made me mad. there is a weird dichotomy in the forums where you have people who have posted here a long time and understand that pretty much nobody watches the product and everyone that does is an epically failing loser, and then theres people who are just dropping in to make a dumb post that stinks. oh wow you think vince mcmahon is bad? loving crazy thank you for sharing. and then its back to posting about whatever bullcrap they typically post about. and then there's the people who just suck at posting no matter what, add them to the mix and you cant beat me at sacrifice. i think the solution is for posters to increase efforts to insult & dogpile these people and for the mods to look the other way

I'm probably one of those people who have been posting more here since Vince re-entered the news cycle. I've tried to balance things out with some genuine observations and some stupid jokes, but if my posting sucks, let me know cos I don't have PMs! I don't want to make using the forums a chore for anyone.

listen you bastard. i don't like the way you're saying some of that. i just want it to be known that i hate rape and want to make sure that since it's allowed to say certain people like it, it needs to be brutally punished when that privilege is abused to say that crap about me. i don't care about anyone else except me. i'm a good person.

Nothing's better than postin' in the morning!



I'll own that my post about how people who admit to watching WWE should be clowned on was unhelpful, shortsighted, and stupid. I've been really sick for the past few days and bouncing around and posting through it (badly). I don't like that it fostered a series of circular accusations of who is or isn't #standingupforwwe. Unpleasant stuff. It should just stop because otherwise you have people just not bothering to read who they're talking to and accusing each other of some heinous poo poo out of nowhere. I'm sorry you got caught in the crossfire for innocuous posts.

As a rape survivor, I don’t really like getting called “rape lover” because I said I enjoyed WWE women’s division more than AEW in a thread made to criticize AEW without fear of reprisal.

I don’t think anyone should be probated or anything, we should be nicer to each other and use better language. No one here helped McMahon and his co conspirator’s commit heinous crimes.

Feel like this is just the posting style this forum has intentionally fostered the last few years. Realistically how different is the post getting made fun of from the average wwe thread post outside of it being made towards my bubby Cav?

Please, this is all I have
I don't think we need a Stand Up for the WWE thread because it sucks as a product already, but I agree with EMF that two pages of calling people rape apologists is a step too far and dog piling on the poster who said they had friends in western Australia who gets one show a decade at best and only wanted to see the goth from Instagram is a bit much.

WWE is the worst mainstream product as is, we shouldn't bully people out of PSP just because they liked one thing in the WWE, we should just show them the other 100 something hours of wrestling every week that's better and less problematic.

Like drat, if all they really love are entrances there's 10 years of the Japanese indies doing a New Year's event with 100+ man rumbles with plenty of mainstream music you can pop over

Don't beat yourself up about it, I think you've done a decent job at keeping things together at a time when it's been difficult to talk about pro wrestling. I appreciate your response here and I hope we can go forward while being a little less incendiary to one another. Most people here are good people.

If you watch and enjoy WWE, then I've only got one thing to say to you: I'm glad you find joy in it. But I can't.

And if you call it's fans rape lovers or the entire company rape company or something similar then go gently caress yourself lol what's even wrong with you.

I hate this proposal and counter-propose that cavauro be given a fourth-tier tag above the first, second and third-tier tags. The third-tier tag will need to be invented prior to the fourth-tier tag to keep numerical consistency.
