>ACKCHYUALLY I was opposed to AEW all along!-when it's basically the Meltzer fed. He might not officially work there, but it was pretty much built according to the instructions of him and his base.
I'm not going to give him respect whether he sticks by his guns or not, though. There's a type of fake nerd who pushes for a complete overhaul to how a popular and successful pop culture industry is ran, not because they love the industry and have cool ideas on how to make things more exciting, but because the fandom is a conduit for them to pretend in their minds that they're smarter and more virtuous than average people. Not only do they not ask if there's anything wrong with their plans and if the current way of doing things might be better (true thinking begins after you've formulated an idea in your head), but they're hostile and dismissive towards criticism, because if it turns out that the people who made the successful stuff know what they're doing and average fans aren't stupid for liking it, they don't get to feel special. Since I've been interacting with the Meltzer cult in the early 00s when they were complaining about paddle-on-the-pole matches and Hulk Hogan on gamefaqs, Meltzer and his base have always been those fake nerds. And AEW (and modern pop culture in general) is the truth of what you get when you put money behind the petty games of these dipshits.
