I hate this so much.

From what little I've seen of STARDOM, Hana was a real standout. Just had it. And she could only get better and bigger.

And besides that, she was, from everything I've heard, a genuinely good person.

And she was twenty-two years old.

It's messed me up badly. I'm so angry about what happened. I didn't think it would affect me this much, but it pushes a lot of buttons for me. Her being bullied for, I'm assuming, her whole life for being mixed race. Being so young. Being so talented. Beloved by so many who knew her. And it's all ruined because of loving trolls.

I swear the trolls and the bullies have loving won. They're in almost every government. They control the wealth in every country. They're putting millions of lives at risk because masks aren't cool. On and on. Anything good gets choked off.

Why does Shad Gaspard die and Vince McMahon lives?

Why does Hana Kimura, who never hurt anyone, get bullied to death, while the bullies loving celebrate?

I feel callous asking this, but where does Stardom go from here?

I realize these are two extreme situations (the pandemic and Hana's death), but I figured those of you more versed in joshi puro than me would have even a bit of insight as to how the office might move forward.

The keyword being "might".

Thank you all very much for the responses. I've been getting more into puro, and I had only perfunctory knowledge of the joshi side of things. Hana's death hit me harder than I expected, and I feel like I did myself (and her, in an abstract way) a disservice by not paying more attention to her work, and Stardom as a whole, before. I'm signing up for Stardom World on the 1st. Her friends/colleagues seem like good folks and I wish them the best.

It's heartening to have a place to talk about these things without the usual internet dickheads ruining it. This is the best sub on this dead comedy forum.

After their deathmatch tag match today, Jun Kasai told Rina Yamashita "these days many joshi wrestlers decorate themselves in glittery costumes and nice make up. Today you've decorated yourself in blood and I think you look more beautiful than any one of them. We're so lucky to have you." then they linked arms and jumped into a pile of broken glass and I think that's beautiful

It is. Truly beautiful.
