WWE is far off to the right fringe in the bell curve of toxic entertainment. Not to mention the product is hot creamy dogshit and management actively hates it's fanbase. There's way better wrestling out there with much better booking but most people are too lazy/ignorant to go looking for it.

If the form of entertainment I enjoy does not directly hurt or harm someone physically, emotionally, mentally, or financially, then what I choose to enjoy does not make me guilty because I'm not the one who created that entertainment. In other words, gently caress off Stop Enjoying Things Guy. There a difference between liking the last two Purge movies and liking the actual Purge itself.

Roman Reigns is so powerful and strong and bigdoggish that he lost his last title shot by hitting a guy too hard and knocking him to victory. We should all be a little more respectful to Lord Biggus Canis Esq. around here.

If enjoying the Undisputed Era, Braun Strowman, Nakamura vs. AJ's balls, and Celine Dion singing a song for the Deadpool 2 soundtrack are fascist, then consider my morals flexible.

While its certainly true that our society is filled with moral compromises and its tough to engage in capitalism or media without some kind of moral compromise here or there. But there's degrees and lines. There's buying things that indirectly support bad practices and then there's buying things that DIRECTLY support bad practices. Or engage in bad practices. Or openly support evil regimes that discriminate against people. Or take the side of the evil regime when they racistly bar one of your top performers because he has the nerve to do charity work for refugees of a humanitarian crisis because the "misunderstood, progressive, good people" WWE is working with are directly helping slaughter those people. So like... watch WWE and make that moral compromise if you want. I'm a wrestling fan. I've made countless of those moral compromises because wrestling is pure scum. For me the KSA thing was a bridge too far and I'm taking a break that I hope lasts because I can't justify this. I'm not judging someone who doesn't, but like don't delude yourselves that its the same thing as buying an iPod or some Nikes.

Ahh, the United States Government, now that's an organization that deserves our money guilt free. Actually, given Linda McMahon's position, we're kind of getting the best of both worlds right now!
