Just merge the TNA, WWE & AEW threads into one big "Bad TV Wrestling" thread imo.

Please include all the Japanese promotions in that thread too. They televise their shows on the Internet and are effectively "On TV" unless you're really pedantic, weird, and possibly think about the differences between people

Jeff your cutting comments yesterday legitimately tanked my mood, still feeling bad today.

I am sorry for that. I consider you a posting pal and don't wanna hurt your feelings. But you also just seem like you're not having much fun anymore and it kinda bums me out.

This is more of an informal survey than anything else. A bunch of people seemed to really dislike an old thread that made note of problematic content in old wrestling, but the "idiots on social media thread" effectively does the same thing with people who are much less relevant to anything, mostly because they're being paid to stir poo poo up in some capacity.

I actually kind of learned a few things from the old thread, particularly regarding slurs aimed at native Americans and Mexicans, given that I'm British. I don't meet many native Americans or Mexicans so it helps to know what well-known terms are actually offensive. I had a horrible feeling that because Excalibur was often featured from the mid 2000s, people disliked it due to the silly WWE vs AEW tribal bollocks, but then it also provided more than ample evidence of WWE and Vince McMahon's aptitude for putting crimes on screen by extension.

I don't really know what my point is, just something for folks to debate I guess. I think my posts are true ignored or whatever it is anyway. :(

I don't think anybody here disliked that thread, if I recall correctly, it was just a bunch of drive by QCSers that bitched and moaned about it, wasn't it?

the complaints about that thread i remember were always asking what the point of it was, rather than being about this or that person in the business and who they were associated with. i don't believe it would be a good idea to read into that as being about tribalism without good proof but maybe there was some that i don't remember. i would say compared to the idiots on social media thread, one is about posting stupid stuff people are saying recently to laugh at and to make fun of, while the old slurs thread was about cataloging old slurs but making sure not to say them either. you're actually not supposed to post really horrible poo poo that just makes everyone feel awful in the idiots thread at all.

i didn't care that it existed, but i admit to enjoying when people would make fun of the conceit of the thread inside the thread itself, because the historical recording was sometimes (not always) invalidated by asterisks making it difficult to know what was said. i stress that i understand this wasn't always the case. and i hope by responding to the survey honestly this isn't seen as being a drat piece of poo poo rear end hole. i'm sorry if i am

I think the OP censored something innocuous like rear end in a top hat at some point and people came by to say OOOH THAT'S A NAUGHTY WORD! sarcastically, but the OP took it straight on and s*****d c*******g e********g.

The thread was always weird but harmless it just got silly as gently caress when OP started doing that as well as things like “wrestler said a word that rhymes with another word that you might hear used in the movie Hocus Pocus, when talking about the kind of person the trio of antagonists were”

I should also make not that the thread didn't get gassed or trolled into being closed, the OP just randomly decided after meeting and talking to a new friend group that even he didn't really know what the point of the thread was and closed it

Oh God, I forgot about this, lol.

I think cataloguing this poo poo for the sake of it is pointless but idk, I guess I found it more interesting than the social media thread which seemed somewhat adjacent when I made the post and was wondering where folks stood on it. I seemed to remember the reception to the old thread being weirdly hostile but my memories are like scrambled eggs. Cav made a good point in pointing out that hate isn't permitted in the social media thread too.

Thanks for the responses to my weird drunkpost, haha.

Wrestling fans are very stupid (as proven by a certain study you’ve read) and unfortunately that’s not just poor WWE fans, we saw it recently with AEW too and the Chris Jericho nonsense

Please don't use Mel showing up and being asked to leave as an in to get action on your own problem with there being spaces where people can be a little mean or whatever. You had this problem before Mel and you had this problem with the EPA. Just move on about a thing that does not impact you in any real sense.
