The left-right stuff is wwe for adults, for sure. I liked it for a minute when I was 8.

who didnt. stacy keebler was a goddess to 13 year old me

Great news for lobbyists. Lobbying is virtually indistinguishable from an anti-Semitic trope.

A study of 200K sports fans showed pro wrestling fans as pretty liberal, but not very engaged

This is going way off topic but WWE today is miles away from what it was when I (and I'm guessing most of this forum) was growing up. It's a long way away from what it was even 5 years ago. I'm struggling to find anything recent that discusses political views within wrestling fans but as far as I can tell there are two main demographics of current WWE. The first are fans that have watched since the 90s, who trend (obviously) old, white, male, and, based on older research, very probably conservative. The second are younger fans who have started watching (or got back into watching) in the last few years who are split surprisingly evenly between male and female and trend largely liberal.

The reality of WWE nowadays is that it is essentially a soap opera played out by incredibly athletic performers in ways that involve often spectacular athletic feats and sometimes less than spectacular acting. There is ~nobody who watches WWE that isn't aware that it is scripted.

interesting.

i'd like to read the actual study rather than a kid friendly chart. all the links lead to 404 errors. maybe i'll google it sometime. i find it hard to believe that monster truck, ufc, and wwe fans skew away from trump(this was a pre-trump era 2013 publish date).

anecdotally, im in a bad area to test as i live in deep red but i definitely dont get the feeling in my day to day life of that graph.

I was taught that the decent thing to do when any individual stated they had been attacked racially, culturally, ethnically, religiously, because of a mental health disorder, and/or because they were a woman was to just believe the individual’s experience regardless of whether that complaint seemed facially weak or even if a member or members of the maligned group expressed skepticism of the wrong. And regardless of whether the attacker was also a member of a minority group. For example, it is not decent for women to defend the actions of a racist woman and decry the racist woman’s critics who are criticizing her racist acts as mere misogynists.

Why is it when thousands of Jews claim Omar slighted them because they were Jews is there such a reflexive defense of her?

As far an anecdotal evidence goes, my entertainment consumption (basically youtubers/twitch streamers/other stuff I watch on the internet) consists almost entirely of liberals and virtually all of them are fans of WWE to a greater or lesser degree. Of my friends very few are fans but those who are also skew heavily liberal (although again there's obviously a strong selection bias there).

Considering it's run by the McMahon's the actual product has jumped a surprisingly long way to the left socially in the last few years. Gone are the days when female wrestlers were "divas"; they now are treated as actual people instead of sex objects, have headlined a number of major events, and commonly draw higher ratings than the males. There are certainly still plenty of issues but one of the more common complaints I see nowadays (mainly from the people who have watched since the 90s) is that they've gone too PC and should go back to how things were in the attitude era.

I stopped watching when I was 21, and that was more than a decade ago.

Seems to be from the same source as BI got theirs from.

The attitude era was only about 5 years long. I can't imagine anyone associating any particular racial and political affiliation for the golden era (Hulk Hogan/Jake the Snake/Junk Yard Dog) and new generation era (hitman heart, a bit of hulk hogan, beginning of undertaker). Up until the Attitude era (stone cold, man kind, start of the rock), it was very much a promotion that catered to children, and reverted back to catering to children.

I didn't anticipate needing a Pro Wrestling Containment Thread but somehow it feels like it might be appropriate :P

For some reason wrestling crops up everywhere. I stopped watching when I was about 12 and that was almost 4 decades ago.

I didn't bother mentioning it and it looks like most of you are clever to get it but to whoever had this fly over their head I just want to make it clear that WWE comparisons aren't some partisan attack. Trumps rallies are basically a WWE performance. Sorry for stating the obvious but not everyone got it

everyone got it bro. it was just that the specific choice of wwe as the analogy was the only compelling thing in the post.

^^^ Yeah basically that. Your use of the analogy in the past had intrigued me a little so when someone else also commented on it I figured I'd weigh in too. The rest of the post was stuff that has been gone over repeatedly in the past and so I didn't feel was worth addressing.

You do realize that the smart people in the US vote Dem, right?

I do note one positive from all of this, it seems to have brought anatta back from self-imposed exile.

I specifically mentioned that most people got it and it was obvious. I wasn't trying to insult your intelligence, it's just that not everyone got it and not everyone is as clever as you

like this guy below was the first response 2 minutes after my post


I know enough about the polling data to realize this is silly to insert

Seems about right. Dem leadership sees Trump's underwater numbers and think he doesn't have a chance to win so they want to play defense and not rock the boat with impeachment. If Trump wins Dems are completely sunk

Anti-Semitic Incidents Remained at Near-Historic Levels in 2018

Exactly. Frum sucks and the Jews who don't see Trumpism as dangerously antisemitic are fools.
