>>10943457Alright lemme redpill y'all about lil old Chase Owens (and Tama, Tanga, EVIL, Yujiro, Yano, basically anyone Dave shits on).
People get very tribal about things they like. Blue team vs red team in sports, politics, 99% of this board, you've seen the same things we've all seen. Being supportive of things you like is great, obviously, and it's important to take pride in the things you enjoy.
People get very tribal about things they like, the problem being that some people can become very defensive when they feel something they like is being attacked by someone who "doesn't get it". What used to happen back in 2018,19,20 even 21 if you said something along the lines of "Chase Owens is shit"? Most people would either calmly agree or disagree, maybe one person would go "Well I like him anyway" and we'd all share a laugh.
Now that this board has become a pit of negativity and constant faction warfare people are viewing any critique of their chosen promotion as being from outsiders, whether it be "E-Drones", "Trannies", "Tamafag" or whatever else. This was obviously made worse by both Forbidden Door shows and the general way AEW have booked NJPW guests, doubly so because a few people saw this opportunity to troll NJPW fans by false flagging.
Fact of the matter is that people are seeing criticism of Chase and these other guys as criticisms of themselves and what they enjoy as a whole, that having a few bad (and Chase isn't bad he's just mid as fuck in a promotion of greats but that's neither here nor there) guys on a show means that they're shitty retards who like shitty things. You can respond to people saying Chase is shit positively or negatively, everyone has an opinion, but don't view the critique as an attack on everything you love for fucks sake.
TL;DR You Will Never Be Captain New Japan, put your fuckin shield down
