Are you completely unaware of the mental illness epidemic currently? A record number of people are on a record number of psychotic/anxiety/ADHD meds. On top of that, there are more endocrine-disrupting and forever chemicals in our water and air than ever before. An 18 year old's testosterone level today is HALF that of a man's in the 1960s.
For the past two decades liberals have, slowly but surely, pushed for (successfully) the effeminization and emasculation of men. Any form of masculinity is "toxic", but sitting behind your computer screen and paying "sex workers" (that you can't fuck, because that's bad) to show you their tits is empowering women, which you agree is a good thing, because you're not a toxic male, right?
To top it all off, young teens are being taught by the government, corporations, and TikTok groomers that being gay/bi/tranny is a good, powerful thing where they'll be loved and accepted, no matter who they are! So kids with shitty home lives are turning to faggotry.
Striving for excellence is bad. Masculinity is bad. Being big and strong and tough is bad.
As a result, the wrestling industry is dying, and the only ones actively seeking it out as a job are the short, skinny faggy males, and it just so happens that's the only phenotype modern audiences will accept (otherwise seeing superior men makes them want to commit suicide, unlike fans of 20-40 years ago, where it made them want to better themselves)
AEW is smart to latch onto this fanbase, because it's basically the only fanbase that's left for wrestling, besides autistic children and their Munchausen-by-proxy soccer moms.
The only way out is to bring back bullying and slut shaming.
