i mean i find 90% of wwe content to be legitimately unwatchable, so it's easier for me to say, but yeah it is gross to continue to give wwe money

STAC Goat posted:Yeah, a big part of why I'm not really comfortable with the "boycott" thing is because I wasn't really watching WWE or giving them money before so for me to act like I'm "boycotting" them because I cut back the little I do watch feels kind of bullshit. there is an argument to be made that the deal could legitimately be a force for spreading liberal values in saudi arabia, as exposure lets people there see the world outside their own and start to question it. however this argument gets hamstrung by wwe not allowing sami to make the trip, or any of the women, and getting reprimanded for showing brief footage of women wrestling at all in a video package. how much you buy this argument depends a lot on just how repressive you believe the regime to be, and i myself don't put much stock in it. but if you want a way to rationalize your continued consumption of wwe programming, that's a decent route. that said, i think any reasonable person can see that the only true solution is to allow any and all discussions of pirating the wwe product so as to allow those who still have an emotional connection a way to enjoy the product without supporting a puppet of a brutal regime. i'm sure j-ru will sign off on this.
