Do you consider wrestling to be "fake" or "artistic combat"

**Kane Knight** · 03-25-2011, 03:06 AM

People always try and change terms they believe to be negative.

People are pissed off by the word "fake" because they feel it invalidates their enjoyment. Which is retarded, but so are most people. People have tried to rename comic books, defining them as "graphic novels" (Expanding the term from the more "adult" collection), "sequential art," etc. People are throwing terms around now, looking for ones that will stick with video games, because it sounds childish (like comic books). So now we have interactive media (Though technically, we've had it for years). "Game" implies a childish passtime, it seems. Anime can never ever ever be considered cartoons, because cartoons are for kids. You know, as opposed to Pok�mon.

They think it softens the blow, but it doesn't.

Even changing the description from "fake" to "artistic combat" only means the same negative connotations will be applied to the new label. And wrestling will still be looked down on. Most importantly, you sound like a fucking retard when you say "it's not fake, it's...."
