Netflix is turning into cable TV::After the loss of behind-the-scenes talent and the acquisition of rights to WWE, Netflix is starting to feel more and more like basic cable.

    Can’t we have one thread on the Internet where we take the piss out of “manly” men in full costume including tights and makeup throwing each other around and performing “manly” acrobatics / gymnastics without having to bend over for the sanctity of the viewing audience?

    I guess not, I guess we have to have a (righteous) turd in every punch bowl.

      You CAN take he piss out of anything you want. It’s just that if your take is uninformed, don’t grouse when someone says, ‘Oh! Here’s some context so you can know more about this thing! Enjoy knowing something new!’

        The Internet is just full of annoying nags about every single issue. In one thread on here today I bumped into a guy who claimed to be pro-“eat the rich” at the same time as he was against asking them pointed questions. People just love to be holier than thou or contrarian or both I suppose. 🤷

      I mean, you’re trying to shit on an entire form of art and diminish people’s enjoyment of it.

      There are countless threads on the internet tearing down wrestling and those who like it. Very few actually have responses like the one you’re replying to.

        yawn it’s “art” primarily made for people who take daily shits on art being for pussies or pansies or worthless

        I understand that there are some versions of it that don’t suck and that not all of the fans are like that…but this is a situation akin to mainstream country music…the current mainstream incarnations of this thing (i.e. the WWE, which is such an impoverished “artist” that it just inked a multi-billion dollar deal with Netflix) are so far removed from the “art” version of the thing that we might as well be talking about different things.

        As for “diminishing people’s enjoyment of it”…if you cannot enjoy something despite very mild criticisms of it…you probably didn’t enjoy it that much to begin with. This is Lemmy so I don’t think the two dozen views my posts get will make a big cosmic difference.

        Very few actually have responses like the one you’re replying to.

        Doubt

        I come from Twitter. I’m not sure what your social media background is but there they have a “leave no opportunity for sanctimonious bullshit unexplored” policy.

          Okay… have you ever heard of being the bigger person? And this in no way applies to everyone or even the majority of people who enjoy wrestling.

          You sound like a grandpa trying to explain to teenagers why rap isn’t music.
