Why You Must Read This Wrestling Article

On Twitter, Reddit and Facebook, you have the capability of blocking unpleasant users that you know aren't likely to post anything of value to your time. It's easy.

You happen upon the user you wish to block, and are then able to block them in a simple, intuitive way. Once blocked, that person never again invades your consciousness. Writing from personal experience, you will never again remember this person or even what they said. It's more difficult to avoid your more prolific, quasi-infamous trolls, but this is where the lockdown analogy starts to make sense. If everybody did this, online wrestling fandom would be an exponentially less sh*tty place. Everybody has to contribute to make all of this less punishingly miserable.

Strong, well thought-out opinions are fine. The last thing anybody wants is a hellscape polluted by clout-chasing meme accounts that ask for your opinion of Mr. Perfect, as if they actually give a sh*t. They're only interested in the likes. So are the "Just enjoy the good in all promotions!" types. They never say why things are good in a "Now that you put it like that..." sort of way; they just tell you off for not liking things, and they can get f*cked as well. But abusing people and saying transparently fake bullsh*t just to bog everything down is the most tiresome b*llocks - and it can be stopped.

This doesn't happen because people either get worked into believing a bad faith, attention-seeking opinion is legitimate or they enjoy the "quote tweet dunk" to make themselves appear clever or witty. These posts are almost as draining as the bile is. Unless the quote tweet is really, really funny, it's pointless. The people operating in bad faith cannot be reasoned with, and there's nothing insightful to say in response.
