A lot of vegan are assholes, specially white vegans, that is why I do not participate in any of their groups and the like. Also shamming people is never the way to do your activism, specially in something more complex like animal liberation. That being said, that argument is valid, specially taking in consideration the harm that industrial farming does. Just like the fox topic you made about how they are treated for their fur, like 99% of the industrial farms and even some more traditional treat animals the same way as those foxes. That does not mean the way we cultivate plants is not problematic, it is really harmful in its industrial form, just like farming, but even then industrial farming is way worse than agriculture. You also have to take in consideration that around 40% of what we cultivate it is used to feed "farm" animals. There are plenty of black vegan movements, so if you ever interested in the topic you could start with what they do.

I agree with you, I like you hate guilt trippers. On the way we treat animals part, it is why I buy all my meat from a local butcher, who sources it from free range farms. Yes animals still get killed for food, but at least I know they aren't treated like shit before then.
EVE are going to run York Hall next year, which has a capacity of 1,200 - if they even come close to selling out that'll be the biggest thing to happen to indie women's wrestling outside of Japan in years. They've been getting a lot of mainstream attention thanks to GLOW and often bring in Japanese wrestlers for the hardcore crowd, really excited to see how it turns out.
I think EVE as a promotion has the right idea of how to promote womens wrestling, they just need to get some well known feminist to help promote them and maybe some feminist theorist to write about how can wrestling help womens liberation. And like you said, GLOW gave them a nice push, let see how they capitalized on it.

That is something, and even sometimes more than some vegans do. A lot of vegans lack any understanding of how capitalism and consumerism affect more animals than conventional-local farming. Like they do not understand something like the devastation that palm oil industries do in Indonesia, so they buy vegan products and do not care if the palm oil it contains caused the deaths of millions of plants and animals. Same with all the imported products they buy, but as soon as you try to tell them something about that they start calling you communist, anarchist even antifa X) and any other thing they hear on the media and think it is an insult.
Just finished the MYC. Overall disappointed with the quality. The last two episodes are definitely the strongest ones, but I can't really point to any particularly memorable matches. None of the matches were able to escape the WWE's glacial pacing that the CWC was able to escape at times. Commentary was pretty dreadful but that goes without saying.

Shayna Baszler is much better than I feared. She plays the heel perfectly.
From a story telling perspective she has to win it all.
Bianca has absolute star quality and I think it is amazing how far she is so early in her career. The hair gimmick is stupidly awesome.
I've been following Dakota Kai ever since she was first on NXT as Evie, her first two matches didn't show everything she's capable of in my opinion. Let her show dish out more offence please.
Candice is great and I hope they keep her seperated from Johnny and not make it about them as husband and wife even though the Gargano's make such a cute couple. How can you not love them? Good that they're not on the main roster and far away from Total Divas.
Kairi Sane is a revelation, I hope the WWE schedule combined with her move set doesn't affect her health negatively.

So I guess the Baron Corbin / Doctor / CTE argument was Corbin arguing at the doctor because the doc was being a hack and downplaying CTE to the roster.
Haven't watched the last episode yet, but I am really enjoying this second set of episodes. Only bad thing is I'd say the Sugehit/Martinez match, which I expected to be subpar. Everything else has been good to very good with even a few great matches IMO. A lot of talent here.
