Rovert can attest to it, but Impact (read: TNAMecca) fans are real mad that Io Shirai may not be signing with/joining Impact. He tweeted about it yesterday after the report came out that Io is turning down ROH/WOH in hopes of WWE signing her. That made TNAMecca really angry at him, and anyone who tweeted that Io shouldn't join Impact. Just a sample tweet from a regular on Mecca:

Please note: If there was any hope of Io Shirai coming to TNA, its pretty much gone now, considering they are way behind on pay again, and are incredibly strapped for cash.

Io Shirai is widely considered to be the top female wrestler in the world. She almost joined WWE last year, but they passed on her due to medical reasons (apparently it was heart related, the neck injury has since been rehabbed and it didn't require surgery.). She's trying to get into WWE again (it's pretty much her lifelong dream), presumably because she has a way to treat her heart condition. She isn't taking bookings in the US in order to keep her exposure to a minimum over here, since apparently WWE doesn't like it when you work for other companies (ROH, Impact) when you are actively seeking out a contract with them.

And you have IMPACT's history of treating Japanese Wrestlers badly.

Also, IMPACT's TV is very talk and character based.

So someone posted a thread on Wrestle Forum about the whole Kairi getting racial chants directed at her. Naturally the thread was mostly terrible (there were a few replies of sympathy, but they were generally followed up with calling people snowflakes or sjws). However one guy stood out to me in particular. His name? TheConnor. So I dug into his posts on the site and oh boy he's a spring of incredibly lovely opinions.



Misogyny, check.



Racism, check.

(Because Roman is Samoan, he must be a monkey.)

Someone told him to gently caress off in a thread that he made insulting Roman Reigns and his fans:



Overall hostile/resorting to middle school level insults, check.

The rest of his posts are very much alt-right related, so I won't be getting into those. But I can presume he's a giant piece of poo poo irl as well.

From their perspective, a slut's the worst thing you can be. If you're familiar with the incel subculture, it'll click into place.

I think it has to do with that she takes a lot of photos with fans and coworkers, so these idiots assume she's sleeping around with people like Mojo Rawley, Shane Thorne, etc (basically any male coworker she takes a picture with). Incels are dumb. It doesn't help that the rumor supposedly started on 4chan's /asp/ board.

There's a reason why people like Kairi and Asuka keep their personal lives almost entirely under wraps. This is one of them. These people assume because Kairi and Asuka are Japanese they need to be pure and never date anyone ever. It's idol culture at its worst. It's also bad in Japan where if you are a prominent female entertainer and you have a boyfriend/husband, that's pretty much the kiss of death for your career. People project that on them by default.

I think the most depressing part about that entire thing is that the kid is only 17 or 18. He lamented in another post about not being able to buy a Wrestlemania Travel Package (despite making GBS threads on the company in every other thread). The fact that he already has these views at that age disheartens me. I've been taught tolerance and acceptance growing up, but apparently the younger generations aren't being taught that. :smith:

tbh Gamergate radicalised a lot of them. Impressionable, angsty youths without much capacity for critical thinking are easily moulded, and since a lot of geeky (mainly cishet male) teens these days came into their adolescence around Gamergate and the rise of Trump, I’m willing to bet this influenced their views on wrestling.

I dunno, seems pretty obvious to me. You get a lot of hot girls in tight, skimpy outfits mud wrestling and slap fighting for your entertainment. Then they start having actual fights, gimmicks, and storylines like people, not barbie dolls? Bridge way too far.
