"And I did it, because I was a man who had exhausted reason and thus turned to magicks"
So WOR once more mentioned bananas in passing. Important question.

Is it “The Lore of the Dave” or “The Lore of the Meltzer”?

They both exist but in two separate realities, but they're going to meet each other in the Meltzer CU.

Yes, reporters build a network of sources from the industry they cover. For top-level reporters in the sports and entertainment field, this often means having direct contact info for "top stars"

Funny, this kicking off right after the internet was talking about Mickie James receiving her belongings back in a trash bag. Coincidental, even.

Dave is once again 100% in the right,didn't say anything inappropriate and was actually defending Charlotte against WWEs sexist actions, and people like you and the weird twitter and r/SC brigade against him are incredibly weird and purposely taking comments out of context, thank you

Wow, Bix. First K.Rool, then Steve and now SEPHIROTH? Your dream game is real!
What makes it extra-frustrating is that his motives are in the right place in discussing body image stuff, and he's been pretty consistent in that for a LONG time; at least two decades. But he often has trouble distinguishing the right way to talk about it or when to make the call not to talk about it. So he's probably best off not talking about it at all at this point. Though I'm assuming there could be more context missing from the clip based on who was tweeting it originally.

Also: Charlotte invoking "You have my number!" is smart because it shows she's not bullshitting at all.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
"She's getting dental work done because the WWE makes women super insecure about their bodies"

That's hardly anything to be mad at Dave about when there's 30 years of Vince and Dunn pressuring women into getting plastic surgery for better positions on the card, or women getting ignored/not being used because Vince/Dunn doesn't find them attractive

I understand why people would suspect WWE of weaponizing something in bad faith, but Charlotte has been (rightfully) pretty vocal in pushing back against people criticizing or dissecting the way she looks.

Even if he was targeting his criticism against bad beauty standards in wrestling (which exist! which would be fine to call out in other contexts!), the message of what he said is "Charlotte Flair, specifically, is getting cosmetic surgery because she has unfortunately internalized other people's opinion about the way she looks." Which is a hosed up thing to say about someone in a professional context, and Charlotte is being completely reasonable if she takes exception to it.

I don't think he's wrong but I also don't see how it helped to say anything. Everyone knows it, everyone is aware of what's happening, but talking about it like that kind of puts Charlotte on blast. If he wanted to help her could of just talked about the pressure WWE puts on women without naming names. At the least just say WWE asked her to do dental work and she agreed. Don't make some weird guess at how they gaslight her into it. It's really creepy.
