Why is the AEW fan (no plural) so upset whenever it's pointed out that AEW simply doesn't have a product with mass appeal?
>>16287738Probably because pro wrestling as a whole doesn’t have mass appeal and viewership is plummeting universally.
>>16287738Because AEW fans are just like trannies, they hate when you point out reality.
>>16287738I agree that AEW is bad, but in general I don't understand why people are ashamed of liking something with limited mass appeal. Haven't most people enjoyed at least some music that's not on the radio or enjoyed a cult classic movie? Or gone to a local show and enjoyed it more than at a big production that was shitty? Is that experience becoming rare now? Does everyone need to justify liking something by knowing or pretending that everyone else likes it too? Are we heading toward a monoculture again?
>>16287738The E-drone has no concept of art, because he is functionally soulless. It's not his fault: he literally cannot comprehend that a wrestler might prioritize taking personal satisfaction in his craft over being as rich as possible and as famous as possible. The concept of indie music, indie movies, indie books is inconceivable to him. He has no spark of life inside him, so he must fill his empty shell with meaningless mass-produced content. McDonalds, Marvel, WWE -- it's all the same thing to him, and serves the same role: endlessly fueling an utterly purposeless machine. You shouldn't look down on him, in the same way that you wouldn't look down a dung beetle for not appreciating Shakespeare. His mind is a blank canvas, but he has no paint to paint with, so all that remains is a dark void, empty save for the echoing of chants and catchphrases. It is fruitless, and even unethical, to expect humanity from the E-Drone, because you cannot seek humanity in something that is fundamentally not human.

>>16287768I can agree with that copypasta. I just wish the primary alternative to being an e-drone was being curious about history and finding value in obscure/regional wrestling and not just being a brand loyalist for a different zionist billionaire-owned company with a major cable network deal
