NEWS: 'Wanna Be the Strongest in the World' Female Wrestling Anime's Ad Aired

And really, even if someone comes it and says "This will be terrible"...who the heck cares?

But yes, great and O wise, ikc, I will follow your wonderful example and greet every statement I read on ANN with regal and Olympian indifference, never, ever expressing any sort of irritation.

But I will always be irritated if someone makes a negative judgment on an entire show based only on a brief PV.

And rather than make a bitchy little passive-aggressive sarcastic dig like you favour when you are irritated, I'll probably just be matter-of-fact about it.

By the way, I notice you have douchily made no comment about your own past a-holish behaviour.

Just FTR I have. I'm Mexican, pro-wres (or Lucha Libre, as we call it) is big here, and I remember Lady Apache being one of my favorite wrestlers growing up (and Octagón and Máscara Sagrada for the men). She and her peers did nothing of the sort of moaning like she was in heat and everything about roaring, swearing and shouting battle cries. Yes, their outfits are sexy and skimpy like in this anime, but they didn't shove their boobs into the camera, they tossed their opponents all over the ring and crushed them while screaming victoriously.

Then again, pro-wres may have had a 180 degree turn in the ten years it's been since I last watched it, which would be a real shame.

Haruka and co. do not spend every breathing moment looking and sounding like they're being sexually assaulted

Of course. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was about men. What kind of dumb counter argument is that?

You're not going to tell me men have an equal history of sexual objectification and power distribution are you? Because that would be funny.

Ah the classic "It's a double standard because I'm ignorant of the massively different histories and current statuses of the two groups that give rise to understandably different standards".

Of course, both are pandering and objectifying, but their approach to it is entirely different and I'm just going to quote myself on it:

Which, to me, makes a world's difference.

...but only against objectification of a specific group and every other group is left out to dry

I'm confused how you know this show has every breathing moment of them doing that if it's not out yet? You kinda also have to look at since it's wrestling it makes sense for them to do that... you could say at least this show doesn't show them stripping down and splashing in water seductively like Free does every breathing moment if you want to be specific about the sports.

Nope and I still won't. Your past issues with me are irrelevant to the topic at hand. You'll note that post was removed by the mods at my request. Expect the same for future attempts to bait me into such a debate.

I notice your post where you accuse me of enjoying watching women suffer has also been removed. That was your attempt to demonstrate how to chill out and not go apeshit, right?
