I see "you can't deny the physicality of it" has become the new "it's not fake, it's scripted. There's a difference"

That, that right there is why this keep happening like wrestling fans just stepped out of their trailer with their overalls half down. It's fake, as is 90% of TV and there's nothing wrong with that. But these little semantical arguments about it are the why.

Part of the problem with "its fake" is the perception that people who say its fake, are basically saying "its fake, therefore something is wrong with you for finding value in it". The way people claim "its fake" is almost like a "why the heck would you ever consider watching it" sentiment.

So, fans get defensive, and they throw up the defense of "you can't deny the physicality of it", "its scripted/choreographed, the injuries are real", etc as a way to counter the antagonistic viewpoint of it being fake.

It's almost always a one way street. Wrestling fans aren't coming out of the woodwork randomly antagonizing non fans saying "Why aren't you watching, its not fake it's just scripted!!!111!!" . It's almost always in response of people just wanting to antagonize or pick at wrestling fans for no reason and in defense of that.

Just let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.
