>WWE is willing to sexualize a female wrestler with a storyline built around a fan self insert character's lust for and resulting quest to have sex with her, complete with love scenes to show the audience the self insert character getting physical with her
>If that same wrestler later on sexualizes herself for her own financial benefit it is a fireable offence
Isn't that hypocritical? The Otis and Mandy storyline sexualized her more than simply posting hot photos.
Think about it. When Otis was crushing on her she was a heel, a mean person that cheated all the time. The only reason his character could have had for pursuing her is sexual attraction to her appearance.
Otis' whole character arc essentially boiled down to 'could this fat guy that looks like a fan live the dream of fucking Mandy Rose', which got him over because the fans started thinking of him as an avatar for themselves.
Therefore this storyline directly encouraged thousands, if not millions to view Mandy Rose as a sexual object, a goal to be charmed into a sexual situation, stripped naked and conquered. That's what this company did to her. That's how they trained fans to see her.
Yet when she chose to take control of her own sexualization and profited from it, they fired her for it. Evil fucking company.
