That's the guy from Star Trek, right?

In my latest piece, I dive into the “controversy” around a DnD social media post that threw the internet into a meltdown last week, and why Hasbro IS ruining its IP…just not how you might think.

Premiering soon!

Happy birthday!

Yes. This is a case of someone who should follow their own advice.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

Yes and the main weekly TV program is also rated TV-14. At no point was she promised family friendly content. I would love for that kind of wrestling content to exist and not be produced by WWE, but that doesn't mean AEW should be the ones to fill that void.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

Regardless of time or price, it's unreasonable to expect child friendly programming from AEW. If she was criticizing AEW for marketing to kids by selling toys while not producing child friendly programming, I could understand where she was coming from. That's not where she was coming from, though.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

That's not entirely true. AEW should make some dramatic changes in it's marketing and merch distribution. Anyone who's been to AEW show lately can tell you there's room for improvement there.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

I think universally, it's safe to say that violent content is not suitable for audiences under the age of 12. We might have turned out fine, but that is always a bad excuse. I didn't wear a helmet, either. AEW shouldn't change a thing. However, that means it won't be appropriate for young children.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah. I think the more militaristic violence is more damaging. I knew kids who were super into early FPS games like Medal of Honor. They did not grow up into the best adults, let's put it that way. Most of them signed up for the service as soon as they turned 18 and got fucked from PTSD.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

I had no idea that RoboCop was even that violent. I had grown up seeing it on TBS and I thought it was just a cheesy action movie from the '80s. I watched in my 20s and was blown away. It was probably around the same time I realized Starship Troopers was a satire.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

I'd argue that other people's parenting choices is society's business. I've met enough fucked up kids to know not every parent is doing their best. It does have something to do with AEW, because AEW is a violent program. With wrestling, viewer discretion is always advised.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah, and that's why I want to emphasize the word "entirely." The idea that parents should be cautious about the violent images their kids see is entirely reasonable. Those other criticisms you made are also valid. She's just doing this to be an anti-AEW fed loyalist shithead.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah, but there shouldn't be an expectation that any match on an AEW card will be family friendly. Though, it'd be nice if there was a separate program or promotion that provides family friendly wrestling content similar to 80s WWF but doesn't suck like 2010s WWE. Let AEW be for the big kids.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

I don't know that I would want my kids watching that. It's okay for parents not to allow their kids to view graphic violence. I wasn't allowed to watch Robocop as a kid unless it was edited for TV. Probably the right call because 4-year-old me was not ready to see a guy get shot in the dick.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

I guess what I'm saying is today's fed heads are worse than ever. In the attitude era, they weren't calling Scott Hall Razor Ramon or Kevin Nash Diesel. Even the most hardcore WWF loyalists weren't calling them by their WWF gimmick names after 1996.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

WWE isn't family friendly as much as it separating families and throwing them in concentration camps friendly.

Vince McMahon and Donald Trump

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

Do you remember WWE in 2002? It wasn't family friendly then.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

She's not entirely wrong. Parents should be cautious about what violent programs their kids are watching. That's not an unreasonable position. It is unreasonable to expect kid friendly programming from AEW, though. I for one would welcome a family-friendly wrestling promotion, but AEW ain't that.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

Never mind. That was an ad. I was wondering why she wasn't in it at all and there was no music and it was just some lady talking about school choice in Kansas.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

She wasn't in the video at all. It was just some lady talking about school choice in Kansas. I'm not sure I agree with Willow on this one but I'm glad she has an opinion on it. That just doesn't make a very good entrance video.

Chuck Grape @chuckgrape.bsky.social · 6d

No one called Scott Hall Razor Ramon after 1996. Like Razor Ramon, those names you mentioned were gimmicks. Dean Ambrose definitely wasn't a real person. Not sure what Cesar's gimmick was and neither did WWE but it's not his current character. Mone is the same gimmick but trademarks don't care.

Biting.
