Saudi Arabia seeks to use events like @Gamers8_EN to cover up atrocities and human rights violations. These propaganda events are part of a practice called sportswashing. Sportswashing is the use of sports to present a sanitized, friendlier version of a political regime. 1/
@JoexRo@ringofhonor For instance, even I missed takumi vs hyan because that match took place at like 12:15am after the collision was taped on thursday. Doors open time was 6:30 and the last match was still going 6 hours later. We were so tired we ended up dipping around 11:30
@JoexRo@ringofhonor To be fair, that was the cincinatti show at the brady center where everyone was complaining about the crowd for dynamite too, they did an awful job capturing the sound bc it was pretty loud in the building, and then all those roh matches were filmed after the shows and many left
@YourFriendKyle_@TheMGibson Bingo. Plus its a much healthier lifestyle. Kids wanting to be athletes means theyre going to eat well, work out, get plenty of social interaction. Kids that want to be streamers are much more likely to be sedentary and lonely, and fall behind socially.
@youngpunkers I think the thing with eddie is he needs a certain style of opponent. He canโt sustain a lot of motion over a match so is he much better suited to matches with guys like joe, punk, mox, and bryan than guys like ospreay, dorada, oc, etc. and AEW has many more of the latter
@gabeswrld248084@Brandon_0444@WillOspreay@Katherine_973x I have never once said I was personally offended by it. You refuse to read and engage with a take with any critical thought. You see criticism and just go OMG SO OFFENDED WHAT A SNOWFLAKE TIME FOR INSULTS. You are useless to this discourse. You provide nothing of substance.
@Brandon_0444@WillOspreay@Katherine_973x A 14 year old is exactly the kind of malleable teenager who doesnt need to be having this kind of speech toward women reinforced.
@Rubynant_@girlbaitjake They filmed aminata/hanako, diamante/maika, and hyan/iroha all after we left, we got back to the hotel and saw people posting and we were so sad
@Rubynant_@girlbaitjake Yes, i was there but we left just before that, it was nearing midnight and the match coming out was a tag match with 4 aew women and we were already tired, and assumed if we were doing all aew matches there would be no more surprises. We were very wrong
@SatNextTo@KG_Cocidius@WillOspreay A child doesnโt understand the nuance of parasocial relationships. A child sees their favorite wrestler do/say something, especially when theyโre supposed to be playing the good guy, and thinks thats an okay thing to do.
I think โAlex can speak for herself and is clearly comfortable with him talking like that about herโ and โAs a spectator itโs uncomfortable for me to hear a man speak like that about any womanโ are two ideas that can and should coexist
@BackupHangman Ibou he is setting a terrible example for kids who look up to him and watch the show who donโt understand the nuance of relationships and consent and will just now come out of that thinking its okay to talk like that about women
