>>7712682>Mark / MarksNPC / Normalfag who likes what they're told to like and hates what they're told to hate by the promoters themselves
Has no agenda other than to be entertained and is prone to give everything the benefit of the doubt whenever they fuck up; mistakes almost never register with them and a lot of nuance goes right over their heads
Can be a casual fan or an invested fan
Will buy into anything as long as they like the characters involved; doesn't really matter what you put in front of them as long as you don't make their guys look bad or take them off-screen
>Smark / SmarksExtremely critical and negative about the product, tendency to hate more than they like
Rabidly defensive about whatever little they support to the point of cult-like devotion
Has a clear sense of what promos suck and what matches suck and what characters and presentation suck and what all doesn't
Follows and drives meta-discussions about ratings, business decisions, etc.
Tendency to dislike silliness
Excessive praise of puroresu
Contrarian to a fault
Drama-obsessed and dedicated to destroying the reputations of those they hate and shamelessly promoting the reputations of those they love, where their normally critical eye lapses
>Anti-Smark / Anti-SmarkCan be critical but is not enamored with hating
Appreciates entertainment value as well as professionalism in equal measure
Evaluates things based on merit and potential merit and can reasonably adjust their opinions as circumstances change---no tendency to have grudges or darlings / sacred cows
Seeks a deeper knowledge and understanding of the business to put the shows into better context
Doesn't get worked and thinks for themself
Not drama-obsessed
Low tolerance for low quality and keenness to notice
Tendency to be a lapsed fan
