>What's this manifesto stuff?
Joshi before the recent revival was a totally different thing and it's hard to explain it if you weren't trying to be a fan back then. Most promotions were run by female "legends" who were desperately clinging to their fame by beating everyone, no one was being elevated to any positions of star power for fear of their spots and it was all very self-servicing.
So, in 2010 (about a year before Stardom launched), Kana had been a wrestler for roughly five years at the time. Some joshis are tired of her stiff style and actively complained. And after half a decade into her career, she found herself largely disillusioned and disgusted by the joshi scene which she found overly stylized and more focused on how the women looked than the product itself.
So she writes a manifesto for the industry. There are numerous points, but the most important were these five
>Expand joshi wrestling to include other styles
>Eliminate obviously fake moves
>Conduct a review of the industry as a whole and get rid of wrestlers there that clearly shouldn't be there
>Deal with the negative toxic enivornment of the scene and promote positivity and mutual respect
>Encourage those who couldn't develop their persona or style to try other industries rather than flounder in uncertainty
So you got a hotshot joshi known for her stiff style calling for a motion to improve the industry.
So even though there was nothing wrong with her demands, she was in most folks eyes a rookie overstepping her bounds and similarly by extension burying the industry by pointing out its very blatant flaws. In a society that values conformity, age, and seniority.
