Got a WIP you're excited about? Want to rave about your fave? Or is your fandom absolutely in love with a character who detracts from every scene they bumble into, and you need somewhere to vent? You're in the right place!

Re: New Meme Order [Wrestling]
Date: 2021-05-27 10:41 pm (UTC)Minor wank today in wrestling fandom as Cody Rhodes (AEW EVP) releases a Pride variant of his signature t-shirt and says money from it will be going to the National Center For Transgender Equality. Except...the flag shown is the basic rainbow flag. So why is the charity a trans-only one? Why didn't he just use the trans flag? (Because he didn't want a pink/blue t-shirt, is my guess.)
So that's MY wank, but other fans are wanking about why it's always CODY who has these charity tees instead of, say...actual LGBT wrestlers in the company. Cody is a cis straight white dude who votes Republican! Why not Nyla Rose (hulking AGP wrestler in the womens' division)? I mean, I can tell you why not Nyla/Brandon - because he doesn't exactly have a pristine social media presence. And why can't one of the gay wrestlers get a Pride tee? Well, because they're not heavily pushed and don't exactly sell a lot of shirts. And why do we have a million variants of Bullet Club shirts, including BLM, but still no rainbow version?
To me this whole thing just shows how insanely propped up the trans movement is right now - like, we basically skipped over gay pride being okay in wrestling and went right to trans campaigning. They are LITERALLY using LGB to prop up and fund the T.
