I'm talking about the people who's opinions on Britt Baker transcend from "I don't think she's a good wrestler" to trying to implicate her as being a bad person in real life and how she's singlehandedly and knowingly ruining AEW's women's division with her ego

Do you have any examples of this?

Agreed on the toxx thread needing a resident IK. The Mox/Punk I toxx that I did took way too long to kick in, and it shouldn’t have taken anywhere as long as it did for me to start my week on the sidelines.

Myself and other people within the subforum found it to be gross and offensive. Some of them are bisexual, not that that needs to matter in saying a joke is OK or not OK.

A point I'd like to build on this, because it kind of happened in the ROH thread a while ago regarding a criticism I made of cultural appropriation during the Gates of Agony entrance, is that there's a difference between asking for details for the purposes of building a discussion about the topic, and getting weird and litigating how much offence people are allowed to take. Seriously, how does that help or foster discussion? All it does it put people's backs up, and it inevitably leads to hostility.

There's a TJPW show tomorrow. 4:30am start. Most TJPW shows have an awful start time for those of us in Europe

Japan is 3 or 4 hours behind where I live, depending on what time of year it is. Not as inconvenient for us as it is for you Eurolads, but gently caress me, it makes staying up during a show in Japan real challenge - especially when it's one of the big'uns like Wrestle Kingdom.

Yeah, for real. I've been self-isolating in my room due to COVID, and I'm not expected back to work until Friday. It's only now that I've actually been able to even come close to keeping up with the AEW thread, and that's because I'm sitting in front of my computer all day long.

What are some examples of this happening because it keeps getting mentioned over and over in this thread and yet I don’t ever see it happen and every time I ask for examples I don’t get any. People fall over themselves to welcome new posters here, except when they’re obvious bad faith rereg dipshits, which are eventually outed as such, like today.

Shaman Tank Spec being repeatedly dunked on for expressing disgust at that racist MJF promo on Takeshita for some minor bullshit technicality when the gist of what he was saying was basically correct comes to mind.

Not to mention some thread regulars then litigating how offended some people ought to be, or even outright saying something that is pretty goddamned loving racist is "not that bad," or even "not racist." I don't feel like naming any names here, and I hope those who posted that poo poo know who they are, and feel ashamed of themselves. Same goes to the person who felt the need to carry on the stupid loving joke in the Wrestling Social Media thread.

I posted this in the Social Media thread, and I feel it bears repeating.

edogawa rando posted:

The guy who said MJF's promo had a "slur" was technically wrong in saying that, but the gist of what they were saying was very correct - deliberately mispronouncing, or using non-European names as a means of mockery is racist as gently caress.

As a person of colour, who's spent a lifetime seeing my own family put up with this poo poo, I find this incredibly offensive. Honestly, some people shouldn't have to be reminded of the fact that using non-white names as a fodder for jokes and mockery is lovely and racist. For a board that seems to take pride in being far more progressive than it was 20-odd years ago, with the occasional "rah rah look at how far we've come" type posts every so often, seeing this kind of poo poo - not to mention how loving weirdly defensive some of you got in the previous incarnation of the AEW thread, was pretty goddamned disappointing.

I might as well get this off my chest, but the people who were then litigating how racist that MJF promo was, and how offended people should be about it need to have a loving word with themselves.

And yeah, I was pretty loving offended, to the point where it's really put me off of watching any AEW since.

Thanks for the examples + passport pic but I was specifically asking about the repeated scenario where new posters are run off not whatever random arguments happened between regulars here

The first time I posted in an AEW thread, I was accused of wrongthink, and jumped on.

Apparently expressing frustration at the stop-start nature of “Hayter turns on Britt” was rather egregious.

And I would also ask why I, a sporadic at best poster in the AEW thread, would want to engage with the thread in any meaningful way when regulars in there said some pretty abhorrent things which I referred to earlier? It was made pretty clear that expressing disgust at content on an AEW show that was racist as poo poo for the purpose of cheap heat was not acceptable, and doing so would result in being piled on. And besides, when regulars are saying that something that was explicitly racist towards people of my ethnicity is "not that bad," and other such horseshit designed to invalidate the offence I felt, yeah, I did feel pretty loving unwelcome in the thread.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4022225

It didn't turn to poo poo because people said they didn't like the MJF promo and got mobbed. There's a lot of good discussion about it. It turned to poo poo when it started being about if posters were racist or not for not hating the promo enough. It's a bunch of sniping and needing to get the last word.

Mate, when there are people literally saying "it's not that bad," or "it's not racist," and going largely unchallenged, as part of this alleged "good discussion," in addition to repeated posts about why we're apparently not allowed to be offended, that's a discussion I want absolutely no part of.
