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

Look, I don't want to bicker, because you seem kind of sensitive about all this, but I just want to point out for anyone unaware, pro wresting is popular with a lot of queer and counterculture folks.

There's this misconception that it's for people with confederate flags on the back of pickup trucks. In reality, women consistently make up about 40% of the audience for pro wrestling. They only make up 25% of the audience for MMA.

Also, viewership is about 25% black. That's a huge over representation compared to national demographics. And it's popular from Mexico to Japan!

It's flamboyant musclemen and women hamming it up. If you think that's all for people who don't like art and theater, you're sorely mistaken.

I get that it's not all straight white cis christian males, pretty much nothing is. What I don't get is why we have to get all worked up about someone making fun of some silly, multi-billion dollar business.
